Hello,
I have a wamp environment setup (wamp5.0) up and running on a laptop with XP.
Have just downloaded Drupal 4.6 and installed it in a subdirectory of www (where localhost = www)
Inside the "www" folder have the following hierarchy of folders:
- drupal-4.6.3
- sites
- default
- personalWebsite
- workWebsite
I need to install two development sites, and there will probably be a third (Drupal seems JUST what I've been looking for forever! and I intend converting all my sites to it)
Before I start making changes to configuration files and seriously messing it all up, would appreciate immensely some advice on how to procede (I should note that I am a beginner in PhP and SQL... although learning as fast as I can)
1) Must i alter the .htaccess file in Drupal's root to change the Error Document to /drupal-4.6.3/index.php and the RewriteBase to /drupal-4.6.3? (so Drupal is recognised inside a subdirectory?)
2) Must I place a copy of the settings.php in each of the new project folders (the websites-to-be), then change the $base_url in each one of them?
3) The manual talks (and so does the forum) about "multiple domains or vhosts using different databases), and it says i can setup multiple configuration files in my includes-directory.
$ ls -l sites/*/.php
