Here is the skinny:

-- mydomain.com is an already functional Drupal 5.7 site with 'clean URLs' already enabled. No problems there

-- I've just installed mydomain.com/site1 using a basic multi-site configuration. The site is up and initial admin created. The issue is that in mydomain.com/site1 when I try to enable clean URLs I get redirected to an "access denied" page from the primary mydomain.com site. The error page is even templated like the main site.

Any thoughts on what I'm missing here?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you have already created a subdirectory sites/mydomain.com.site1 under Drupal, containing a settings.php file for the second site, is that right?

I think what you are missing is that with clean URLs http://mydomain.com/site1 tries to go to a non-existent site1 path under Drupal's directory, while it should go to Drupal's directory itself again, to run Drupal's index.php and to trigger the site identification.

Create a symlink inside Drupal's directory, named site1, to take the browser back to Drupal's directory. For example, if Drupal is installed in public_html, then:

ln -s /home/accountname/public_htm /home/accountname/public_htm/site1

Yeah I've done all that. Had to get the symlink and settings file in place before I could install the sub site. The site in general seems to be working fine.
