I am creating a web site with Drupal for each state in the United States. I have tried the idea of Multidomain, but I can't get the patch onto it (if anyone has drupal 5.1 with only just this patch, please let me know, I would be greatful.)

This is what I want to do...

Have a sub domain for each of the 50 states. Each with its own boards, articles, ect. But I would like to be able to have the user only need one login for all of the 50 sites. I already have singlelogon right now. I want to use the points system for all of the sub domains. If anyone has any good ideas on how to go about doing this. It would be great. I have a few ideas of my own, but I am new to drupal, and I am sure there are easier and better more effective ways of doing this.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Hi !!

1) drupal has inbuilt multidomain feature
drupal has a folder called "sites/default" .. make copy of "default" as site1, site2, sitexxxx
install "defualt" as ABC.com

set $base_url = subdomainXXX.abc.com for each site. in each folder

and change required detials as given in the url for single signon refered in next point.

2) Single signon ... refer
http://drupal.org/node/147828

this may really look complicated to you initially, but it will not be as you start usign it. Though you may need some technical knowhow for this. :)

anyway if you need anyfurther help plz post back.

Cheers

I did what you said above, but when I goto the subdomain, I don't get anything. What do I have to do?
