404 Error on setup New site

Hi, I'd like to make an additional website, have a separate domain, hosting, have unzipped and installed according to Backlight setup instruction. But am receiving a 404 page not found error when trying to get to the next step (mydomain.com/backlight) I have sent the server access info to Ben but have not heard back yet. Thanks

Re: 404 Error on setup New site

give Ben some time. He's in Australia and it's the weekend.

and it always helps to provide a link to your site.

Re: 404 Error on setup New site

Thanks Rod, It looks like the real problem is that Ben says an additional purchase is required for an additional website. I was unable to find info on this in docs or forum, so do you have any info on making an additional separate website on another server? Will I be able to add to the existing Publisher module or will I need a separate Lightroom catalog, or other potential snags? Maybe a small note can be added to documentation for other people who might be wanting to do the same, Thanks

Re: 404 Error on setup New site

I've always just created a new site the same way as my main site. (These have all been in sub-domains of my main site, but I could easily create a new sit on a separate domain)
What other purchase would you need? A second Backlight purchase? I can see this if the site you're creating is for someone else and is not owned by you. But I can't find an End User License Agreement to confirm this.

I use the same catalog for multiple sites (main site, various test sites, a site that supports a book I wrote, my TTG Tips site).
You would need to create separate Publisher instances for each site, but that's easy to do.

Re: 404 Error on setup New site

Thanks Rod, got up and running, but some other help needed for simple background image -see other post. Thanks very much
Ben reported that the Backlight files needed to be in the public_html folder on the server, rather than domain.con folder placed on server
