Site Initialization

• It is very simple to initialize a new web site in the database. Follow the given below example:
  
  For Domain:
Execute JMD_SITE_CREATE 'jmdcms.com', 'admin@jmdcms.com'
- OR -
For SubDomain: :
Execute JMD_SITE_CREATE 'subdomain.jmdcms.com', 'admin@jmdcms.com'
- OR -
For Virtual Directory http://localhost/JMDCMS:
Execute JMD_SITE_CREATE 'JMDCMS', 'admin@jmdcms.com'
  
  Run the above script on your database. Replace jmdcms.com with your website name before running. It can be a Domain, subdomain or virtual directory.
  
  Note: jmdcms.com and www.jmdcms.com are treated as seperate websites by jmdcms engine. Most often they should be the same website. You can simply create the site ALIAS by running the following example script:
  
  Execute JMD_SITE_ALIAS 'jmdcms.com', 'www.jmdcms.com'
  
  Replace jmdcms.com and www.jmdcms.com with your website name before running the sctipt.
