Change an author-instance into a public-instance
When you want to change an author instance into a public-instance after version 3.5 you need to make to following steps in the admin
central of your future public-instance.
1. Config -> Server -> Admin = false
2. Config -> modules -> adminInterface -> virtualURIMapping -> default -> toURI = YourStartPage.html
3. Security -> Roles -> anonymous -> ACL:
website: read-only = /*
URL: get & post = /*
URL: deny = /.magnolia*
Thats pretty much it, now you will be forwarded directly to the page defined under the default virtualURIMapping and as
per default the user is anonymous it has it's roles and can therefore see the page.
You can also bootstrap the magnolia instance as public and then Config -> Server -> Admin = true in case you want to use the instance to administrate the site.
