Drupal 6.x

I'm trying to setup a Multisite using a single database and some shared tables with MySQL 5.

After reading a lot of documentation I've decided to try this for the first time and use the New Drupal 6.0 Release.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to create the tables properly.

I need to have more details on the process on creating multisites.
All the documentation on the website are skipping some parts which is
where I run into problems.

Under the "sites" directory I created 2 additional directories so I have:

(All)
Default
www.xxx2.com
www.xxx3.com

All 3 sites will have different content but will be using some shared tables for Login...ect.

So when starting from Scratch I've put the default.settings.php file in each of these directories and I've modified the code to:

For the default:

$db_url = 'mysql://xxx:xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx'; (with the proper database access info of course)
$db_prefix = array(
'default' => 'xx1_',
'users' => 'shared_',
'sessions' => 'shared_',
'role' => 'shared_',
'authmap' => 'shared_',
'sequences' => 'shared_',
);

For the www.xxx2.com

$db_url = 'mysql://xxx:xxx@xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx'; (with the proper database access info of course)
$db_prefix = array(
'default' => 'xx2_',
'users' => 'shared_',
'sessions' => 'shared_',

ok I'm running WAMP with Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5, and mysql 5.0.45. Also I have drupal 6.0 installed into the www directory. I created a php page to do a basic echo, however when i try and open it with IE(or the index.php file) it wants to download. If i try and open it in FF it displays the echo command along with the text. I'm sure this has something to do with apache, but I'm not 100% sure. can anyone help me with this problem?

In my blogs I used the

tag to separate paragraphs. I need to change the style on that tag

.

What is the drupal 6 way to do that?

Thanks

After noticing that the error pages for the site I had been working on didn't show any useful information, I decided to borrow some PHP code I had found for making my own site's error pages more useful:

Hello all, i want to upgrade my local drupal 5.7(with more then 700 nodes) to drupal 6.0, i already searched the forums here and the faqs and i cant find a tutorial how to do it :(

hope somebody can give me some info :)

I have a client who is a fantasy author. Here's what we want to do. My question is the best way to approach this. Is a multi site setup the way to go, or some other way I haven't figured out yet?

Basically, the client wants to have an author site, which would contain his blog and information about him and his works. Then, he wants to set up community sites for each of his "worlds" that he writes in. Each of these would have their own domain. So, if my client was Robert Jordan (god rest his soul), then he would have:
