Web Server

Most web servers require different settings to create new websites. If you are unfamiliar on how to properly configure your web server you should ask your hosting company to assist you with this step.

Admin Site

The Tube admin runs from its own hostname. If you already have a primary tube site domain you can just create a sub domain called admin. The document root of the admin domain should point to /path/to/tube/www/. So if you installed Tube Studio in the directory /home/domains/tube/ then you would make the document root '/home/domains/tube/www/.

Tube Sites

Tube studio can support multiple sites by default. Each one will use the same set of scripts located in /path/to/tube/site_scripts/. The easiest way to set up a new domain site is to make the site_scripts directory the document root for all tube sites. If you host does not support multiple domains using the same document root then you can give each domain its own document root and then create a symlink for all the needed files from the the domains document root to the site_scripts directory. You can Either symlink the entire directory or all the files within the directory.
