I have installed 6.14 along with some contrib modules (specifically Domain Access). Drupal has been installed in a subdirectory off the document root as http://our.domain.com/drupal/ rather than installing it in the document root. We are on a shared server running 100+ hosts.

I am having a variety of issues with Drupal including page behavior, user access behavior, and multi-site operability behavior.

So my question is, can Drupal be installed in a subdirectory off the root and still operate as designed and developed including the proper functioning of the Domain Access module?

If so, are there any special tweaks I need to make to httpd.conf?

If not, what impact does installing Drupal in the root have on the already existing virtual hosts? Eventually, some of these hosts will be migrated/converted to Drupal (but not before testing and review, obviously). The other virtual hosts will remain as is.

Any advice or direction here is greatly, greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

My experience has been that Drupal will run just fine in sub directory. Caveat not sure about Domain access. I use this sort of thing to test Drupal setup before moving it to my root setup.

Thanks Road Runner. Maybe Domain Access just doesn't play well in a sub-directory installation. Let's see if anyone with that type of configuration posts to this thread.

Still unable to get Domain Access to work when Drupal installed as a sub-directory. My suspicion is that Domain Access will not work in the type of setup.
