HI,

i'm trying to get the multisite to work ...

i created a symlink in de the domain directory from which i want tot corporate in the drupal installation, when i do /var/www/vhosts/domain cd httpdocs i come to the drupalmainfolder which is /var/www/vhosts/drupaldomain/httpdocs

so the link works i guess ...

but when i surf to http://domain i get a 403 error ...

some one said something about a htaccess fil with

"Looked at my .htaccess to ensure that the FollowSymLink option has a + in front of it"

so i add a htaccess file in de drupaldomain? with one line in:

"Option +FollowSymlinks"

???

or something else?

Hi drgonzo,
what are you exactly trying to achieve stating clearly which are the domains and the directory structure involved?

symlink created in domain created in plesk: /var/www/vhosts/xxx.be/httpdocs ->link to (works but domain created with user xxx and symlink with root)

/var/www/vhosts/zzz.be/httpdocs/drupalbase -> drupal maindir

i want to add xxx.be to zzz.be/drupalbase

i added .htaccess in drupalmaindir with “Option +FollowSymlinks”

nothing works ... the webdir is ok: drupalbase/sites/zzz.be/settings.php (but i don't get tot that since i have a 403"

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

thanks

Are these directories owned by a different user?

yes

the xxx.be domain is created by xxx

http://www.tar-tard.be/
created in plesk ...

when the drupalbase stands on www.psychedelic.be/drupalbase

and the zzz by zzz...

So the 403 you are getting maybe caused by some filesystem level permission problems. You should have your hosting tech staff have a look into this.

hi, i tried to change the owner of the symlink but i didn't work ...

chown tardtard httpdocs , but the owner remained root hmmm

If the owner is root, only root can change it. Try to check permission on the folder the link is pointing to, it should be accessible by your user or at least have a common group. As I said, you'd solve this with the tech support in 5 mins I guess.

You should check the permission of the target of the symlink...

my system administrator says with PLESK you can't make the symlinks ...???

are there experiences with PLESK & MULTISITE ???

thanks

i found this:

if you create a domain alias within plesk (aliased to the initial drupal install) the domain will point to the initial install (as it would be assumed) and you can create your multi-site from within drupal from there.
i've found that some .conf files will get re-written easily and without notice by plesk.
if you prefer to edit the conf files, i see no real reason to be draining storage, resources, and possibly throwing away a free cert on plesk.

i'm mailing this post to my admin as we speak :-)
