Hello,
I've been searching and reading Posts regarding the Setup for a Multisite sometime now, but don't seem to understand the Basic principle of this whole thing.
I am currently running some sites on my shared hosting account. My aim is to administer these sites under one admin interface, e.g. with one codebase.
Currentlxy I am running these sites with phpwcms.
I've understood the following:
I install drupal on my Hosting account.
For every site I want to add, I put subfolder in the drupal/sites Folder.
example
drupal/sites/default
drupal/sites/anothersite.test
drupal/sites/anothersite_1.test
In the subfolders there has to be a unique settings.php for each site.
Now it gets complicated:
- do I have to set the base_url in the subfolder to
$base_url = 'http://anothersite.test';
- do I have to set the prefix like this:
$db_prefix = 'site_';
$db_prefix = 'site_1_'; etc.
- what address do I have to write in the Browser?
http://drupal.test/anothersite or
http://anothersite.test
- do I have set up vhosts in the apache config ( pretty hard on shared hosting account)
- do I have to use a .htaccess or symlinks? There's nothing in INSTALL.TXT about .htaccess or symlinks.
Please excuse the basic approach of these questions but I'm lost.
All the discussions surround about sub domains, but I don't want to use Sub domains.
