Hi, I have succeeded in installing drupal 4.7.3 into the webroot of my domain. Everything works fine _except_ I cannot access other sites that exist at the same level as the drupal install.

To clarify:

drupal installed at:

mydomain.com/

different websites at:

mydomain.com/extrasite/ <-- the problem is with these sites here.

If I go to:

mydomain.com/extrasite/index.html

The the site works fine but I would like to be able to use the smaller url (mydomain.com/extrasite/)

Can anyone advise how I might go about this?

Many thanks

arfon

Sorry, to clarify, I'd like to be able to access http://mydomain.com/extrasite/ without having to put in the explicit url: http://mydomain.com/extrasite/index.html

At the moment if I use http://mydomain.com/extrasite/ then drupal handles the call and gives me a 404 page not found!

You might need to edit your .htaccess to include a 

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

That worked a treat. Just edited the line:

DirectoryIndex index.php (and added) index.html

Thanks for the great support.

It's because of the rewrite rules in .htacess (I think.)
A new .htaccess file for other sites should be created.
