I am trying to do the multisite install and I am stuck on this message: Drupal already installed.

It looks like the installation wants to use the settings.php from the sites/default folder.

My core install is in mydomain.org/drupal

I have set up the symlinks (they are in the above folder). How do I make the installer to use settings.php (fresh) from the subfolders instead of the default. I think the names of my subfolders are correct - they are in the format sites/mydomain.org.subdomain

My host in Media Temple (gs)

I spent so much time on it and am truly stuck here. Any help would be very appreciated!

the folder in /sites/ must be exactly as the domain being called.

mydomain.org.subdomain seems odd to me. Seems that should be subdomain.mydomain.org

VM, thank you for catching my mistake, it was late. Of course, I meant subfolder, NOT subdomain and I believe it's exactly the same as the domain being called; it's:

sites/mydomain.org.subfolder

and I'm calling:

mydomain.org/drupal/subfolder

Any suggestions pretty please?

Something I probably should add (not sure if that would make any difference) is that mydomain.org is not my primary domain. The DNS points to primarydomain.com.

unfortunately I've no guidance WRT to drupal in subfolders. I use subdomains.

My best guess is that site 2 isn't pointing to the docroot of the main site.

I too was successful with a subdomain, but I can't figure out the subfolder situation. And I suspect it's got to do with a proper symlink I cannot come up with.

What would be the symlink and which directory should I place it in if:

my drupal installation directory has a path:

/home/12345/domains/mydomain.org/html/drupal

and the domain I'm trying to add has a path:

/home/12345/domains/mydomain.org/html/drupal/sites/mydomain.org.dev

I would appreciate the help very much!! Thank you!!

I've never had to use symlinks either, so I can't be of any help with that. I've always just pointed my doc root to the folder that holds the base install.
