Creating sites

Sites are created on the command line, and then you assign a server to a particular site when you bootstrap the server. In the case of a server that has previously been installed and configured, use the set-site command to assign it to a site.

About this task

For general information about sites, see Sites.

Procedure

Open a command line as an administrator and go to the <server installation directory>\tomcat\spotfire-bin directory.
Run the create-site command.

Note: It is recommended to specify the public address (the -a parameter) when creating a site. If you do not specify the public address now, you can do it later by using the set-public-address command.

Example

config create-site -s MySite -a https://server.example.com/

where:

MySite is the name of the site you create.

https://server.example.com/ is the public address of the site (optional).

Note: When using the default port (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS), do not specify the port in the public address.
