Hello everyone:
I am completely new to Drupal, so please bear with me.
I created a Drupal 6.24 test site (using XAMPP 1.8) on my computer (windows 7 ultra) and copied a live Drupal 6.24 (including the database) to this test site. The structure is a multi site format.
Sites folder in drupal 6.24 (htdocs/drupal-6.24) contains the following folders: all, greetingcards, default
The windows host file contains the following: 127.0.0.1 greetingcards
The file httpd-vhosts.conf contains the following:
##ServerAdmin postmaster@dummy-host2.localhost
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal-6.24"
ServerName greetingcards
##ServerAlias www.dummy-host2.localhost
##ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-error.log"
##CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.localhost-access.log" combined
The problem occurs when I enter the path to my greetingcards site: http://greetingcards
Instead of being able to view the copy of the live site, I end up viewing the admin page. The page containing the header: "Welcome to your new Drupal website!".
I've done this numerous times. Always the same result.
The settings.php file contains the following:
$db_url = 'mysqli://root:password@localhost/greetingcards';
$db_prefix = 'drupal_';
$update_free_access = FALSE;
$base_url = 'http://greetingcards'; // NO trailing slash!
ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&');
