I want to have at least two sites andhave the default site alread set as the main site. It is mysite.com. I now want to standup another site that will be myBlogsite.mysite.com. Are there any special tricks to doing this or is it just as if I were installing a second site with whatever anme I choose and that Apache and Drupal will map to the sight correctly as per instructions concerning multisites?

TIA

If you looking to setup a multisite install, yes follow the fantastic instructions. Multisite allows you to share the same modules and themes.

If you want create a fresh drupal install just create a sub-domain and a new folder/directory outside of public_html and point the new sub-domains document root to that. Then just follow the standard drupal install guide.

Jedd, Which set of instructions are you refering to. I have seen three or four and all appear tobe different. Is there one you have used succesfully?

Read and reread the information on the multisite wiki. Now after some major trial and error I have the second site working. It does not share the database but it is shareing code. That is a significant step.

Please see if this way http://drupion.com/resources/general-information/multi-site-directory-an... is suitable for you. You can easily create sub-domains on Drupion and use the shared repository of modules, libraries and themes.

Hi,

I have created one module, which will help users to create multisites, with little human intervention.
For details you can visit SN Quick Multisite .

Currently this project is in development mode, but you can download it from git repository using GIT URL:

madhusudanmca@git.drupal.org:sandbox/madhusudanmca/2054335.git

and can use it on development environment.

Thanks
