General discussion

Hi all. I have been trying 5 hours to create multisite on a single installation of drupal but still can't do it. so I finally decided to drop a message here..

I have installed drupal 4.6.0 into http://cms.mydomain.com. I have no problem with this so far, I can go to that URL and create the first admin user.

Now, I'm trying to create another site which is completely separated. The URL for this site will be http://cms.mydomain.com/customer.
According to the INSTALL.txt, all I have to do is create a folder called "cms.mydomain.com.customer" under "sites" folder and then copy settings.php from "default" folder to "cms.mydomain.com.customer".

In settings.php I have;
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';
$db_prefix = '';
$base_url = 'http://cms.mydomain.com';

But this does not seem to work as I get "page not found" error when I try to access http://cms.mydomain.com/customer.

I have noticed that a few people here are talking about symbolic link, but I have no idea how to use shell command plus there seems to be others saying there is no need to create symlink.... Some people even saying rename settings.php to (in this particular case) cms.mydomain.com.customer.php.... I'm getting really confused.

and, I want to create sites which all work completely independently, so in settings.php I have actually tried something like;
$db_prefix = 'customer1_';

Hey people !

I want to build a site similar to www.face-pic.com or faceparty.co.uk.

Can Drupal support this community / dating type function?

Thanks!

hi , i am a new user , i registered here , but when i recieved the password it was not working ,

i mean i copied the password as it is ,but it still it dint work
then i had to use this url http://drupal.org/user/22369/edit to change the pass , and when i tried to log in ,it worked ,

i am happy that i am a member here now

Why does the 'Active Forums' block on drupal.org home page keep disappearing every now and then? I find it a convenient way to keep track of current threads.

As I write this, the block is missing. I am a registered drupal user and am logged in.

I'm a little confused about subdomains.

If a webhost says that you get "15 subdomains", does that mean that you have up to 15 example.example.com addresses for free, or does that mean that they support that and you have to buy them?

I just don't totally understand them. Are they generally free? If a webhost comes with "unlimited subdomains", does that mean you get to create all the subdomains you want for free?

Thanks. :)

I think I finally "got" taxonomy. I had the a-ha moment a few hours ago, it felt great. I imagine many-to-many like a menu at a restaurant: One customer might order many food items, and conversely, one food item might we ordered by many different customers.

Now that I understand this, I'm not sure why I should set up a Taxonomy for my site. My site features news headlines, commontary and counterpoints as part of each node, and it's updated about three times a week.
