I cannot get a simple mult-site setup working.
I have Drupal 4.6.0 installed to /home/~myuser/public_html/research/drupal. Under that path I have ./sites/mydomain.tld.~myuser.research.drupal.altsite/settings.php.
I am able to access the "default" site using http://mydomain.tld/~myuser/research/drupal/ - but cannot access the "altsite" via http://mydomain.tld/~myuser/research/drupal/altsite. I receive the following:
The requested URL /home/~myuser/public_html/research/drupal/index.php was not found on this server.
I have not altered any configuration files, nor have I created any symlinks. From the INSTALL.txt it sounds like all I need is to create those sub-dirs/settings.php
Any suggestions?

Raison d'etre part...
The other part I cannot seem to answer is what partitioning exists - if any - when multiple sites share the same database. Setting aside the reason of single dir tree - do they share anything?
What is the reason for doing multiple sites (same db)? Shared user-base?
