Hello everyone:

I am new to drupal but have read the drupal ebook and watched about 5 hours of videos on getting started with drupal. I did set up a test folder on my godaddy server and everything was ok until I installed the subdomain module to figure out how i was going to re design my site

the site is not huge but has enough subdomains and subfolders that this is going to be a little tricky.

I have to make sure the site has all the same exact URLs since I have been link building to it for years

Here are some basic examples of what I am dealing with

maindomain.com

Then I have 8 subdomains

1.maindomain.com
2.maindomain.com
3.maindomain.com
4.maindomain.com
5.maindomain.com
6.maindomain.com
7.maindomain.com
8.maindomain.com

Then within each subdomain I have between 1 and 5 holders

2.maindomain.com/folder1
2.maindomain.com/folder2

Then in some cases I have a second folder inside the first folder

2.maindomain.com/folder1/folder2

I was hoping to do one installation into the root folder on my godaddy server and build it from there but I am not sure if it going to be possible since I don't know much coding and need to get it up quickly

also some of the subdomains will have its own blog.

I need to build the site then switch the DNS pointers to it so I need to make sure everything is working correctly first. IT seems that some of the modules I have tried have been conflicting.

when I installed the subdomain module it redirected everything in my test folder and the urls for even the admin page came up missing

I have played with a bunch of modules but I am not sure what one's will work best for this

Any help would be appreciated
