The status site manages the running Zotonic installation. A site's \/admin<\/code> manages that site's content and enabled modules. They have different scopes and can use different credentials.<\/p>\n

Start with bin\/zotonic status<\/code> to identify your site and its state. Use bin\/zotonic open garden<\/code> to open its configured URL, then follow the site's login or admin route.<\/p>\n

In the admin, locate module management and System → Development<\/strong>. The latter appears when mod_development<\/code> is enabled and your account has access.<\/p>\n

If the wrong site opens, inspect the hostname, aliases, and port rather than changing content. Several sites can run inside the same node. See Site configuration and enabled modules<\/a> and Enable the Development module<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Check running sites<\/h2>\n

Run:<\/p>\n

bin\/zotonic status\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The output identifies the node and lists site states. Locate garden<\/code> rather than treating “Running” for the node as sufficient.<\/p>\n
If the site is stopped, inspect its enabled setting and startup logs. If the site is not listed, check its application directory, configuration file, build output, and discovery. A hostname error can also send browser requests to another site even when the desired site runs correctly.<\/p>\n
Use bin\/zotonic sitedir garden<\/code> to identify the application's location on a running node. Follow with a real request to the site after changing startup configuration.<\/p>\n
Check that a site is working<\/h2>\n
Access needed:<\/strong> Monitoring access; server access for node checks.<\/p>\n
  1. From outside the server, request a known public page and check its status and expected content.<\/li>
  2. Check certificate validity, redirects, and response time for the public hostname.<\/li>
  3. On the server, use bin\/zotonic status<\/code> to verify the intended node and site states.<\/li>
  4. Check error logs, disk capacity, database availability, and backup age.<\/li>
  5. Use a dedicated account for a safe representative authenticated check when required.<\/li>
  6. Monitor important asynchronous work, such as email and media processing, separately.<\/li><\/ol>\n
    Alert on user-visible failure, approaching capacity limits, stale backups, and repeated processing failures. Set thresholds from normal operation and name an owner for each alert; do not create alerts nobody can act on.<\/p>\n
    A successful HTTP response from a fallback or status page can hide a failed site. Match expected content or a site-specific health response, not just status 200. Keep monitoring credentials out of public check URLs.<\/p>"}},"slug":"find-the-status-site-and-your-site-s-admin","is_protected":false,"visible_for":0,"tz":"UTC","language":["en"],"is_featured":false,"content_group_id":{"id":339,"is_a":["meta","content_group"],"name":"default_content_group","title":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"Default Content Group"}},"uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/default_content_group"},"category_id":{"id":317,"is_a":["meta","category"],"name":"developerguide","title":"Developer guide","uri":"https:\/\/zotonic.com\/id\/developerguide"},"publication_start":"2022-02-15T10:01:00Z","is_website_redirect":false,"github_url":"https:\/\/github.com\/zotonic\/zotonic\/tree\/master\/doc\/developer-guide\/status-site.rst","pivot_location_lng":null,"name":"doc_developerguide_status_site","is_unfindable":false,"is_published":true,"doc_editorial_edges":{"depiction":[],"hasreference":[3078],"relation":[2997,3039],"subject":[2554,2564,2605,2613,2670]},"summary":{"_type":"trans","tr":{"en":"The status site manages the running Zotonic installation.
