Locked Out

[kthomas]

Thanks Sam!

I went to config.manila.hosting and the correct value 
"CreateASiteManilaWebsite" was already in place.

I went to the Control Panel and created a new site "fubar", I could not 
login to fubar as an editor, I do not get the editors only menu or the 
EDIT THIS PAGE button. I pasted fubarManilaWebsite in the 
canonicalSiteName and nothing changed. Going to the root, 
http://newshound.de.siu.edu is the same site.

I went back to the control panel and turned off "Share a membership 
group with the hosting site?" nothing changed.  I created another new 
site fubar2 and I can (Ta-Da!) edit it. The hosting form Macro does not 
work on the new site.
http://newshound.de.siu.edu/fubar2/
  Yes, I changed the value for canonicalSiteName to fubar2ManilaWebsite.

I cannot "go back to your original hosting site and remove the 
createSiteForm macro from that site" because I'm not recognized as an 
editor at any sites other than fubar2.

http://newshound.de.siu.edu still points to the same site, not fubar2.
