Hi Friends,

Is it possible to create multi-site in a single domain having different folder for each site in Drupal 7.

1. And each site will have different content.
2. Also can i use one admin panel to manage all sites.

Any clue will be helpful for me ...

Thanks

Yes, it is possible. For further details how to setup multisite installation on you domain with sub folders read http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/multi-site. For Drupal 7 there are some improvements concerning multisite http://www.drupalcoder.com/story/544-drupal-7-multisite-improvement-mult....

Sites by default will have separate databases. If you want to share content, you need to tell which tables you want to share. If you want to share some content, there is a module for this purpose http://drupal.org/project/domain (this is completely different approach. So multisite or domain access module).

What admin panel mean to you? System admin panel or content admin panel. If first, look at http://aegirproject.org/. If second, depends if you share content and if you use domain access module.

Some clarification-- what is called 'multisite' in drupal does NOT support 'use one admin panel to manage all sites'. It's merely a convenience to manage completely separate sites with one code base. Each site is still maintained individually through it's own admin UI. That is, once you've updated the code for a module through the file system (which will affect all sites in a multisite), you still have to login to each site separately and actually perform the update if required. Including all the testing and evaluation that should be done for any update.

And imo, at this time with the advent of drush, it's just not worth the extra hassles-- it's much easier to manage code with drush than multisite and has none of the side effects/downside.

Also, sharing tables, while possible, is not recommended.
