Following your processes and then setting up the second site using the drupal data base management screen to point the site towards the preexisitng data resulted in the following error message

Fatal error: Call to undefined function block_list() in /homepages/36/d186685211/htdocs/rba-current/includes/theme.inc on line 1571

As I was integrating a pre-existing site onto the same root I tried simply copying in the settings.php from the second site into new directory /sites/mysecondsite.com with the same result.

I'm not sure whether the problem originates in Drupal 6 or in your module - otherwise great.

Can you help?

I'm not entirely clear with what you've done, but I don't think it's at all connected to Multisite Manager.

Are you upgrading from 5 to 6?

It sounds like you don't have all of the core Drupal files in the right place. e.g. the modules/block/* files.

No the whole system is on 6

I'm not clear what you mean about modules/block/files

I've checked /modules/block and there's no subdirectory of any kind there

Not sure how it came out but I had a * and a space between block/ and files. i.e. files IN modules/block/
If you don't see any files there (not subdirectories), then you do have a problem with your core distribution.

In any case. I don't even have an instance of drupal 6 up. If you successfully disable multisite_manager and the problem goes away, and then enable it, and the problem comes again, then I can look into it. Otherwise, I think you need help from Drupal 6 core folks.

Will try

I have made some suggestions re your documentation which I hope you will find useful

I have done so and the problem remains

Aa I already have both of the sites I'm multisiting I reversed the process without Multisite Manager and just copied in the setting.php from one into the other

Yipee - the home page came up just fine - and the admin page, but look at any other page and it fails again.

Pro tem the problem can be seen on www.setup.retireandactive.org

I get an Address Not Found error. when I visit that location. Intranet perhaps?

Oh, btw, did you remember to copy the special .htaccess file to the new site? You'd have to edit it based on the new directory it's in.

obviously, if you're copying the settings.php with the custom multisite_manager code in there, it's not really disabling multisite_manager...
