SOLUTION: Forgot I had copied system-menu.css into custom theme directory. firebug in FF reminded me. set css for menu-leaf.png to display:none. Locating the css file and turning off the display for the css property fixed the path and the display of the rectangular box.

PROBLEM: Browser is travelling down wrong path to find a png file that is correctly located in /drupal/misc. Is the solution to use base url in settings.php? If so, what do I use -- as virtual name is the base and the correctly used referrer in error message?

It's looking for the misc folder in the sites/domain directory rather than in drupal/misc Error message:

Location: http://funstuff.local/sites/funstuff.local/misc/menu-leaf.png
Referrer: http://funstuff.local/
Message: sites/funstuff.local/misc/menu-leaf.png

-----------------
SET-UP: Multisite on local standalone test server / apache / winxp ---> Five domains are using name-based virtual hosting to point to one IP (e.g. 127.0.0.1 localhost / 127.0.0.1 collegekidswest.local). One install of Drupal is being used. Each site, though, has its own database.

PRODUCTION SITE: The live sites will **not** be using multisite. Multisite only being used for local testing/dev server.

APACHE set-up used in conf file (same set-up for the other domains):


# ServerAdmin webmaster@drupaldev.local
DocumentRoot htdocs/drupal
ServerName drupaldev.local
ErrorLog logs/drupaldev.local-error_log
CustomLog logs/drupaldev.local-access_log common

SYSTEM Path is:
C:\apache2triad\htdocs\drupal
................................................\includes
................................................\misc
................................................\modules
................................................\profiels
................................................\scripts
................................................\sites
................................................\themes

Anybody know?

You have a multisite.
How you made it?
Do not say nothing about sites directory and database.
Say something about index.php and other files. If you have all files from drupal at http://momo.koko.tt (/homeroot/public_html/) which files do you have in http://toto.koko.tt (homeroot/public_html/toto/)?
(I expect that subdomain is a subdirectory of root directory.)
And it is possible to have an installation in one of the subdirectories, e.g. http://momo.koko.tt (here is drupal installation) is a subdomain of http://koko.tt (homeroot/public_html/momo)?

And I wish to have a multisite
http://momo.koko.tt (drupal installation)
http://koko.tt
http://toto.koko.tt

The multisite instructions in the drupal handbook are very clear and quite extensive. As I understand you are wanting to use the multisite configuration, that's your best resource.

Now, back to my problem....anyone?

Why you expect answer from others if YOU cannot give a solution which YOU know?? Amazing!!

I give you a hint:

What is between step 4. and 5.?

Your question, which should be posted as another thread, is asking how to create a multi-site. The instructions are detailed and, quite frankly, I see no need to repeat the full page of instructions here -- there's actually many pages, plus a video, in the documentation. That's not amazing. That's a reasonable response.

If you have a specific question, after reading and doing the multi-site install from the documentation, then I would be happy to help you.

I see no answer to my question in step 4/5 of the subject url. It discusses installing a site, and, in particular, 4/5 discusses granting permissions to the sites folder. Not sure what that has to do with a successfully installed multi-site. But more important, it doesn't relate to this thread's topic.

Am I misunderstanding what you are pointing to?

Did you resolve this? I am about to give up on fixing this on localhost ...

Thanks for any hints
