midgard.admin.sitewizard is the site creation and configuration tool in MidCOM. In Midgard 8.09 and above it has been deprecated by midgard.admin.wizards.
Usage
Midgard Site Wizard can be found by accessing the Midgard Welcome Site which is typically installed to the /midgard subdirectory of a Midgard server. Click the login link in the right-hand bar to enter the Wizard:
After authenticating as Midgard Administrator, the first screen of the Wizard will appear. Here it will be possible to either create a new sitegroup virtual database, or set up a new site to an existing one.
You can also define an administrative user account and a disk quota for the sitegroup.
Once the organization has been created or selected, the next screen is for creating a website. Here it is possible to input hostname, port and possible directory prefix for the new site.
For the newly-created host to be served it must also be added to Apache VirtualHost configuration. Once this has been done, the next step is to select a style template for the site:
After style has been selected, the site should be ready for content management.
Installation (Midgard 1.7)
Midgard Site Wizard may be installed from PEAR packages. To get it running, generate a website for it using the following command:
# php /usr/share/php/midcom/lib/midgard/admin/sitegroup/bin/create-host.php -c databasename -u admin -p password --sitegroup_id 0 --topic_midcom midgard.admin.sitewizard --hostname www.example.net --host_prefix /sitewizard --extend_style template_Midgard --topic_name "Midgard Site Wizard"
After this Midgard Site Wizard should be available in http://www.example.net/sitewizard/.
