Hi everyone,
I've been reading the other multisite threads, and read the handbook, INSTALL.txt, etc before posting this, but I may have missed something, so please go easy on me :)

I'm trying to set up a multisite installation of the form

  • mysite.com
  • mysite.com/subsite1
  • mysite.com/subsite2
  • mysite.com/subsite3, etc

    • the vhost for the entire domain points to /var/www/drupal and this uses sites/mysite.com/settings.php as the config, as expected.

    However, even when i create sites/mysite.com.subsite1 and navigate to http://mysite.com/subsite1, drupal still loads the 'base' site.
    i.e It's loading the base site with /subsite1 as the parameter. (which 404s within drupal)
    I tried debugging it, and found that within bootstrap.inc it had been passed 'mysite.com/index.php' and was trying to resolve a site config that matched that. I wanted it to parse mysite.com/subsite1, and use the appropriate config

    How can I get drupal to process the path and check for the multisite config files? or can I?

    I think i may have to abandon the base site (or move it elsewhere) and set up symlinks for the directories /mysite1 /mysite2 /mysite3 to point them back to the drupal codebase..

    I'm using the CVS version of drupal by the way

    Thanks in advance, hope someone can help me
