As an experienced AnQiCMS website operator, I know the importance of efficiently managing multiple sites for content creators and enterprises.AnQiCMS's powerful multi-site management function allows us to easily operate multiple independent websites under a single system.Creating a child site is just the first step, how to view and smoothly access these newly created child sites is the key to ensuring smooth operation.Next, I will introduce this process in detail.
Locate the newly created sub-site in the AnQiCMS backend
First, you need to log in to the backend management interface of the AnQiCMS main site.After successful login, find and click the "Multi-site Management" feature item in the left navigation menu.This feature is the core entry point provided by AnQiCMS for multi-site operation.
After entering the multi-site management page, you will see a list displaying all the child sites that have been created in the system.This list includes basic information for each child site, such as the site name, website address, and so on.Here, you can easily identify the new child site you just created.
Access the backend management interface of the sub-site
AnQiCMS provides two main methods to access the backend management interface of the sub-site you have just created, and both are very convenient.
A direct way is to access through a multi-site management list.In the list of sub-sites you just viewed, there is usually a button or link to 'Access Admin' next to each sub-site entry.Click this button, the system will directly redirect you to the independent backend login page of the sub-site.You only need to enter the administrator account and password set when creating the sub-site to access the back-end for content management, configuration updates, and other operations.
Another commonly used method is to enter the background address directly in the browser address bar. The AnQiCMS background access follows a general format:你的子站点域名/system/For example, if your subdomain isdev.anqicms.comthen its backend address ishttp://dev.anqicms.com/system/. You can enter this complete address in the browser and then log in using the administrator credentials of the sub-site.This method is especially suitable for the scenario where you want to directly access the backend of a specific sub-site without logging in to the main site.
to visit the frontend page of the subdomain
In addition to the admin interface, accessing the frontend pages of the sub-sites is also simple. Just enter the full domain name of the new sub-site in your browser, for examplehttp://dev.anqicms.com/Preview the content and layout of your sub-site as it appears to users. After ensuring the front-end page displays correctly, you can further publish and optimize content in the sub-site's backend.
Important reminder
When viewing and accessing the newly created child site, there are several key points to note to ensure everything runs smoothly:
Firstly, please make sure that your subdomain is correctly resolved to the server, and the reverse proxy (such as Nginx or Apache configuration) is also properly set up for the subdomain.If there is a problem with domain resolution or reverse proxy, you will not be able to access the sub-site through the domain.
Next, each sub-site has an independent administrator account and password.When creating a sub-site, you will set up a new set of login credentials for it.You must remember this information because it is the only way to access the sub-site backend.This ensures the independent security and management permissions of each child site.
Finally, AnQiCMS allocated an independent database and data storage root directory for each sub-site.This means that the data of each sub-site is isolated, and there is no confusion.During the configuration process, you will specify a with/app/For example, an independent root directory at the beginning,/app/dev_anqicms.comand a unique database name, such asdev_anqicms_comused to store the cache data and other content of the sub-site. This design ensures the stability and data security of the multi-site environment.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: I created a child site but cannot access the front-end page through the domain name, how should I investigate?A1: First, please check if your domain name resolution is correct, ensuring that the subdomain name points to your server IP address.Next, confirm that the Nginx or Apache web server on the server is configured correctly for the sub-site with the proper reverse proxy rules, redirecting traffic to the corresponding port of AnQiCMS.If you are using Baota panel, please check the reverse proxy configuration and site directory in the website settings (especially for Go projects or general project settings).
Q2: What should I do if I forget the administrator password of the child site?A2: If you forget the administrator password of the sub-site, you cannot reset it directly through the main station backend.You may need to log in to the server, manually modify the password hash value of the corresponding administrator account in the child site database using a database tool, or reset the password through the password reset email feature if the system provides it.Specific operations may require certain technical knowledge.
Q3: Are the data of each child site completely independent? Will the content published on one child site affect other child sites?A3: Yes, AnQiCMS has designed a multi-site management function to ensure that the data of each sub-site is completely independent.When creating a child site, you need to configure an independent database and file storage directory for it.This means that publishing, editing, or deleting any content on a sub-site will not affect other sub-sites.Each sub-site has its own content, categories, tags, users, configurations, and more.
