them in order to make them appear on your website.</p><p>Make sure you are logged in, and then click on the
'Admin' or 'Control Panel' link to get to the Site-Wide
Administration page (at /acs-admin). Click on the subsite you'd
like the application to be available at.</p><p>Subsites are a way of dividing your website into logical
chunks. Often they represent different groups of users, or parts
of an organization. </p><p>Now click on 'Applications' (applications are the same
thing as packages). You'll see a list of Applications and the
URLs that each is located at. To mount a new application, you
click on 'Add application', enter the Application, title
(application name), and URL (URL folder name), and you're
done.</p><p>Test it out now. The URL is based on a combination of the
subsite URL and the application URL. So if you installed a
package in the Main Subsite at the URL calendar, it will be
available at http://www.yoursite.com/calendar. If you installed
it at a subsite that has a URL intranet, then it would be
located at http://www.yoursite.com/intranet/calendar.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="configuring-install-packages.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="configuring-configuring-packages.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left">Installing OpenACS packages </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="configuring-new-site.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> Configuring an OpenACS package</td></tr></table><hr><address><a href="mailto:docs@openacs.org">docs@openacs.org</a></address></div><a name="comments"></a><center><a href="http://openacs.org/doc/current/configuring-mounting-packages.html#comments">View comments on this page at openacs.org</a></center></body></html>
