I have a current test site setup with drupal 6 and I can browse to it via something like http://example.com/~testsite
The drupal install is in the root. I would like to setup a second site using the same core drupal install and browse to it via http://example.com/~testsite/newsite/
I have previously setup multisites with working domain names doing the following:
setup new db
created folder within sites/whatever.com.newsite/
put dummy settings.php file there
setup sub domain in cpanel newsite.whatever.com
deleted folder newsite using ftp
created symlink for public_html to public_html/newsite
browsed to whatever.com/newsite and it gives me install wizard
I have done all these steps for this test site but I am getting a regular 404 error page (not drupal) when I browse to http://example.com/~testsite/newsite/. So, I am assuming the problem is the naming structure within the sites folder that I used, which is example.com.~testsite.newsite.
I didn't think this woudl work with the ~, but I thought I would try anyway. Does anyone know how I can setup the multisite for this new area?
Thanks.
