HowToSetupVirtualWikis

This can be usefull for example to setup one public wiki for the outside world and one wiki for your intranet.

For this you need the following setup:

• A main wiki server and wiki install with a database named 'xwiki', first setup with xwiki.virtual=0 in xwiki.cfg
• Point you server name to the IP of this server (for example xwiki.mydomain.com)

To do this you need to do the following:

• Create a document called XWiki.XWikiServerClass
• Using "edit class", add the text fields (string class) called "server" and "owner" to that class
• In the main wiki database create a document called XWiki.XWikiServerIntranetdb.
• Using "edit object", add an object of instance "XWiki.XWikiServerClass" to that document
• In the owner field setup the user that should automatically have admin rights on your new virtual wiki (example XWiki.admin)
• In the server field setup the full server name of your new virtual wiki (example: intranetdb.mydomain.com)
• Repeat the operation with a document called XWiki.XWikiServerXwiki with server field setup for your main wiki URL (example: xwiki.mydomain.com). This step is not needed if you main wiki starts with "www" as it would by default go to the main wiki database.
• Setup xwiki.virtual=1 in xwiki.cfg
• Set xwiki.virtual.redirect to the landing page you want people to go to if they try a non-existant wiki
• Restart your server
