You can generate multiple virtual sites on your Sputnik Control Center server, each with their own administrative interface and database and management daemon. Each virtual site name should contain 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters, but not start with a digit. For the instructions that follow, substitute the site name you have selected for the text called "newsite". After the site generation is complete, you can point your web browser to http://your.domain.com/newsite. The default login is username "admin" and password "sputnik".

# /usr/share/kosmos/libexec/scc_gensite --vsite=newsite --jabber_server=your.domain.com

NOTICE: CREATE TABLE will create implicit trigger(s) for FOREIGN KEY check(s)Reloading httpd: [ OK ]

To "set aside" a site that is not needed, but that you may want to use later, simply rename its apache configuration file:

# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d

# mv kosmos-sitename.conf kosmos-sitename.conf.hold

# /sbin/service httpd reload

Reverse the order of the filename arguments to reverse the process (reactivate the site). The reason to put unused sites on hold is because they take up valuable RAM resources on the server, even if they are not generating any traffic.

To show a list of sites, perform the following command:

# /usr/share/kosmos/libexec/scc_dbmaint --vsites

sputnik

italia

coffeehouse

hotelchain

marin

Note, you may not use a vsite name of "public". If you try, you'll get this error:

# /usr/share/kosmos/libexec/scc_gensite --vsite=public --jabber_server=your.domain.com
