Creating a Plone site

by Mikko Ohtamaa — last modified Feb 04, 2009 03:08 AM
One Zope instance can host several Plone sites. When Plone is set up using buildout it has not any sites created. You need to create one yourself.

*Zope management interface page for adding a Plone site inside a Zope instance*

Make sure your development Plone instance is running. Open your browser and go to the address::

http://localhost:8080

You should see Zope management interface (ZMI) front page. Log in with the username and password you gave during running Paster script.

Click Zope root. On the right drop down menu choose New Plone site. You can choose id and title yourself, but don't use international characters in them.

Now you should be able to browse in to your site::

http://localhost:8080/yoursiteid
