Post installation

All,

I've read the multisite info in install.txt and settings.php, I've found/read several related forum threads (especially http://drupal.org/node/20663), and I still can't get basic multisite functionality working in Drupal 4.6.3.

I know this topic comes up a lot in the forums, and it's possible I missed a thread that would solve my problem perfectly, but I'm hoping someone will help me troubleshoot this.

My desired functionality: completely independent Drupal sites (separate users, content, themes, etc), running on the same codebase, pointing to different hosts/subdomains of the same domain.

Thanks to my ISP blocking inbound traffic on port 80, I use dyndns.org to bounce requests to port 8080 (as per their their instructions: http://www.dyndns.com/support/kb/archives/redirecting_webhttp_requests.html). The redirects work as follows:

drupalsite1.mydomain.org --> drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org:8080
drupalsite2.mydomain.org --> drupalsite2.x.mydomain.org:8080

Now, for my Drupal config...

The Drupal codebase lives in: /var/www/drupal/

I have configured Apache2 virtual hosts for both drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org and drupalsite2.x.mydomain.org, with both virtual hosts pointing their DocumentRoot to /var/www/drupal

In sites/default/settings.php, I have the following:


$base_url = 'http://drupalsite1.x.mydomain.org:8080';
$db_url = 'mysql://site1dbuser:site1password@localhost/site1db';

I have mailhandler all set up--it puts the mail in the right taxonomy but the body text of the email isn't put into the node. I get this error in watchdog:

Unsupported encoding 'iso-8859-1'. Please install iconv, GNU recode or mbstring for PHP

Are these programs I would put on my server and install somehow? Anyone know what this means?

Hi men..
I have a real problem..when I try to change my default theme Drupal(4.6.3) says me that saved all, but when I refresh the page the theme is the same and the default theme is always the original..
I use as theme 'pushbutton' and I can't change it..
Can you suggest me for example how to edit file permissions' file where Drupal store themes' settings?
Please help me!

Trying to create content using tinyMCE and can't seem to get it to create and display content properly. When I create a story with rich-text enabled everything looks fine in the Body text box. I can see bold text, line returns, etc. But when I preview, all the line returns seem to get stripped. Text is previewed (shown) as one long sentence with all <br> and <p> breaks removed.
