Accessing sites

After you have a codebase provisioned by Acquia, you can create your sites by using the codebase and view the existing sites. The number of sites visible to you is based on your individual permission within the Multi-Experience Operations entitlement.

To access the sites associated with a codebase:

Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.
Go to Codebases.
The system displays all available codebases along with the number of sites and environments associated with the codebases.
Select a codebase for which you want to view the associated sites.
Click Sites.
The system displays all the sites created through the codebase.

You can view the following information about your sites:

Name of the site
Description about the site
Number of site instances for the site. For example, if a site is deployed to dev, stage, and prod, the site has 3 site instances and the Cloud Platform user interface displays the message: Deployed on 3 environments.

Creating a site

Important

The number of sites that you can create from a codebase depends on the terms and conditions of your Multi-Experience Operations entitlement.

To create a site:

Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.
Go to Codebases.
The system displays all available codebases along with the number of sites and environments associated with the codebases.
Select a codebase for which you want to view the associated sites.
Click Sites.
Click Create Site.
The system displays the Create Site page.
In Site name, specify the name through which you want to identify the site. This name must consist of 1-50 alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) with no special characters.
In Technical domain name, enter a name for the site. After you set this value, you cannot update it later.
In Description, enter a description for the site
Click Create Site.
The system creates the site.

Associating sites with environments

After you have your site, you must associate it with one or more environment to create instances for the site. This is essential for you to use your site. Only after you create site instances, the system creates databases or associates domains to the site. You can associate your sites with any environments that are created from the same codebase. In addition, you can associate your environments with sites. For more information, visit Managing Environments.

To associate your site with environments:

Sign in to the Cloud Platform user interface.
Go to Codebases.

The system displays the Site Overview page.
Click Associate environment.
The system displays the Associate Site with Environments page and lists all the environments associated with the codebase.
Select environments.
Click Associate Environments.
The system associates the site with the selected environments and creates site instances. Cloud Platform might take some time to associate the site with environments. Until the association is complete, the status is displayed as Pending.
