I am limited to hosting my site on a particular server that allows only one database.

The reason I need multiple sites on one server is because of language issues. I have found the easiest way to develop sites in different languages is to just create multiple sites.

I need an idiots' guide to using only one server for multiple sites. Can someone either walk me through this or direct me to current documentation?

Thanks!

hi,

it should be possible to use different prefixes.
first you upload drupal to your webspace into a folder called 'drupal'
then you create 2 symlinks one called en and the other called de, or what other language you want to publish, that point to drupal.

Then you go to yousite/en and run the setup. At the first page you can set up a database prefix under advanced settings. choose something like 'en_'.
After you did the setup you do the same thing just that you use 'de_' as prefix.

I have not tried this but i think it should work.

It looks like a don't have permissions to create symlinks or subdomains. I would love to switch servers, but someone's friends with someone at the current server and as things in Mexico go...

Not sure how to proceed.
