In Drupal 4.6 rc I've setup the following sites with no problem:

- corporate www.Construct3D.com
- community www.Neocosm.net
- personal www.NoSmallDreams.net

They share the same codebase but have different database table prefixes. Construct3D is the default site.

My problem is I've now tried to setup a separate test site that doesn't have its own domain but "resides in" a folder of construct3d.com i.e. has a base url construct3d.com/test. The settings.php file is in sites/construct3d.com.test/ (and I've tried the other suggested combinations). But this doesn't work - all I get is a "page not found" error for the the construct3d site. It seems it's not recognising "test" as a separate site.

Please can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong.

I'd have a look at the apache logs. Running full Drupal sites in a subdirectory works ususally fine. what does the httpd.conf say about that subdir site?

Apache logs aren't much help. They just report the 404 page not found error when accessing construct3d.com/test/.

I'll have to ask my webhost about the httpd.conf (unless you know how I can view/change this or my vhost settings myself in a shell session?).

Hmm. So the directory /test exists? There probably isn't anything in it, right?

Can you try to remove it and create a soft link named test instead?

ln -s . test

is the command you need to execute from the shell (after going to your main www directory).

Thanks Gerhard! That worked a treat. I had no /test directory to remove, but creating that soft link did the trick.

Somebody ought to get this in the documentation. (yes, it helped me end my agony too)
