Should be easy, right...to copy a manila site?

[Adam Brand]

Can anyone point me to instructions on how to copy a manila site to
another site on the same server?

 

I tried by:

1) Uninstalled SiteAManilaWebsite.

2) Copied SiteAManilaWebsite. Pasted underneath another site.

3) Renamed SiteAManilaWebsite (the one pasted underneath another site)
to SiteBManilaWebsite.

4) Copied SiteBManilaWebsite back to manilawebsites.root.

5) Ran Server, Install Site on SiteBManilaWebsite.

6) Ran Server, Install Site on SiteAManilaWebsite.

 

So I ended up with two working sites sitea.mydomain.com and
siteb.mydomain.com. Problem is, if you edit a story in sitea, it changes
in siteb and vice-versa. Cool behavior, potentially useful in the
future...but I don't want that behavior now...the sites should not be
linked.

 

I've tried messing with discussRoot and changing the alsoListedIn
attribute of the stories...but I can't get that to work properly.

 

I've spent almost two days straight messing with this...there are so
many references to SiteA things in SiteB and simply changing the names
in SiteB doesn't seem to work.

 

Also if anyone has successfully renamed a manila site I'm interested in
how to do that too.

 

The reason I need to do this is that I have created a site that has
almost 200 stories/pictures and I need to make another site that is
almost exactly the same save for a few stories. I hope I don't have to
recreate the site!

 

Help!

 

Thanks,

Adam
