Hi,

I have a multi-site set up (different domains, different dbs, etc) but with a common drupal installation. I'm planning on using the same theme for a couple of my sites, but with different tweaks and customisations added for each. So in my "sites" directory I have one subdirectory for each domain and within each there is a "themes" folder with the theme directory and files under that again - it's the same directory setup as I was using with 4.7.

My problem is that drupal 5 doesn't see any themes within my sites/www.example.com/themes directory. The permissions on the directories and the files are correct. I've even tried moving one of the supplied themes from the themes/ directory to my site's themes directory - as soon as I do, it disappears from the list of available themes.

I would really like to have this working so I can implement my theme customisations separately for each domain. Has something changed in the latest release? Does this now work in a different way?

Thanks,
Stella

I had this problem some time ago. But for some odd reason, the themes I put on the folder sites/www.example.com/themes showed up on the list of themes at http://example.com/admin/build/themes some hours later. I am using Drupal 5.1

Unfortunately that's not happening for me, but I'll keep checking!

I have the themes configured to work as you need them to. Perhaps there's something very simple going wrong - I've been caught out with some of the following:-
is the directory under your sites/sitename named "themes"? Neither "theme" nor any other capitalisation or spelling of themes will work.
is the theme name unique and not in conflict with any other themes - e.g. sites/example.com/themes/a_valid_theme_name?

Other things you could try which would help in troubleshooting:
Put a custom theme into sites/all/themes and see if you can reach that from your theme administration panel.
Double check that sites/www.example.com is correctly matched to your base URL

Yeah there was a typo in the base_url setting. It's kinda strange though since I was able to access the database which were only in that settings.php file. Anyway, it's working now, thanks!
