Hello all,

We've finally managed to get Midgard to work on one of our Solaris
boxes. Now I'm supposed to set up a test site but I'm getting nowhere
right now.

I don't want to create a new site style from scratch only for testing
purposes, so I followed the advice on the sample site (to use the same
style) which runs as follows:

>>To build your own site based on this, you should first create a new
website, using the "Simple Dynamic 
>>Site" template, and create a child style from the "Aegir Sample Site"
style. 
>>
>>When you have the new web site created, configure it to use the new
style you just created, create a new 
>>category in "News & Articles" and edit the root page's "code-init"
snippet to use the category as the root
>>topic.

So far, I've managed to create not only one, but many sites. But funnily
enough, each one creates an "Empty" Style (shows up in the Styles view),
and I can't erase them, even if I've wiped out the site itself first.

Then, I managed to create the child style that looks exactly like the
parent one (Aegir Sample Site style). But I cannot assign this style to
my newly created website - because it won't show up in the list.

This phrase:

>>When you have the new web site created, configure it to use the new
style you just created,

looks simple enough, but it isn't. There's nowhere a description where
this style is supposed to be configured. If I log in as the company
administrator I don't see any websites, I just see the root pages of the
sites I deleted previously (all with ** in front of them) so I can't
assign any style since I don't see the website ! (NB of course when I
created the website under "system administrator" I assigned it to the
correct company!)

So, actually my questions are:

- how do I assign the child style to my newly created website?
- how do I make the company administrator "see" a website that is not
"empty" (if I create a website based on "Empty" he will see it)?
- how do I avoid seeing things that have been deleted?
- when's a user manual coming for clueless people like me?

PS: By the way, I took a look at your tutorial on
http://wwwdev.midgard-project.org/documentation/getting-started/ but
that didn't help me either...

Aegir looks like a terrific tool and I would really, REALLY like to get
it working !

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Marianne
