Opencms change directory of site

Question

I have opencms 10.5.4, tomcat 8.5.37.

I have a site "localhost:8080", now i have to move the site to "localhost:8080/mydirectory"

I tried to change opencms-system.xml

<sites>
            <workplace-server>http://localhost:8080/mydirectory</workplace-server>
            <default-uri>/sites/default/</default-uri>
            <shared-folder>/shared/</shared-folder>
            <site server="http://localhost:8080" uri="/sites/default/" title="Demo Site" position="3.4028235E38" webserver="true">
                <parameters>
                    <param name="locale.main">it</param>
                    <param name="locale.secondary">en</param>
                </parameters>
            </site>
        </sites>

I restarted catalina but nothing happens.

What is the best way to change domain url without breaking the links of the css and files that are in the modules?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you want to achieve. If you just want to access your website through an additional folder to let's say distinguish from other sites you could just create a folder within the OpenCms workplace and move all your content to that folder. Create the folder in the root directory of your site (e. g. /sites/default/mydirectory/).

Changes to opencms-system.xml are not necessary for this. So please remove mydirectoryfrom your workplace-server configuration.
