Ok after reading a lot....I have learn that what I was trying to do would not give me the result I was looking for. That would have been login on one site, and automatically be signed onto the other. (is that possible?) So I decided to try something else.

Is it possible to divide up a site?

What I would like to accomplish is the first part of the site has its own theme and modules, and the second its own theme and modules.
If I can pull that off then the first part of the site could be blog stuff, and then the 2nd part of the site could be a drigg site.

Any ideas/input?

Thanks

The best way to do something your talking about would probably be with sub-domains.

forum.yoursite.com
digg.yoursite.com
blog.yousite.com

You can install one drupal and have it serve multiple sites or subdomains. Here is the knowledge base area with multiple different ways of approaching the installation process, depending on your hosting and other variables. http://drupal.org/node/43816
Look through these articles and choose the method that works best for you.

So in theory with a sub-domain you authenticate at the domain level.For the rest sub domains the user would just goto the site... no authentication needed?

I have seen lots of places talking about running subs, but I don understand how to make on in drupal.

So I think what I would do is
create the sub-domains directory with the sub-domains prefix in the sites directory (with the drupal installer in it and setting.php)
symlink it to the root of the main sites (root domain) directory.
Is that it for the most part?

I have the process of creating multiple websites in subdirectories down, but not sub-domains. How different is it?

Thanks
