Hoping there's someone who can help.... After days of effort, I've managed to get Xampp working and have installed Drupal and can browse to localhost - which presents the Drupal Welcome Page. It would seem that despite the instructions posted at http://drupal.org/node/161975 (and which I later find out that perhaps Wamp might have been a better option for Windows users) and numerous other nodes and reading all the users posts to actually get mine working.

However, I wish to have 3 sites installed and was following directions posted both online and in The Drupal Cookbook (for beginners) dated Oct 25, 2008 (drupal.org.book/export/html/120612).

In the PHPAdmin I created a database based on the default Drupal database for each of my 3 other sites. Then I ran the following SQL command to setup a user for each:
GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, LOCK TABLES ON mydatabasenamehere.* TO 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'superpasswordhere' ; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

My Apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf file, for each site I have code that reads:


DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal/sites/eclicks
ServerName eclicks


Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

My Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file reads for each site (the localhost goes to my default Drupal Welcome page):

127.0.0.1 eclicks
127.0.0.1 localhost

However, when I browser to http://eclicks - instead of seeing a Drupal Welcome page, all I see is the directory folder structure for that site.

What did I miss in the installation? Should I not be seeing a Drupal Welcome page for each of my 3 sites?

Before I start installing Modules and Themes, I'd like to get this fixed.

Anyone?
