I bet they just give up and install multiple drupals. I would... but I kinda wanna try lots of little drupals.<br>
<br>
The problem is databases are involved. It's not like when you
test out a module, post a few nodes, oops, this isn't quite what I
wanted... delete what you made, and change the config
options. You have to get it right the first time, fixing it
afterwards is a bloody pain.<br>

Some configurations that you can write instructions for...
basically, multi-site means you share the codebase at the same place,
although the site exists somewhere else, there are no files there,
right? I have no idea how that works, but that is my impression
(with a gallery multi site you get a minimum collection of files in the
sub site).<br> <br> So, some possibilities:<br> 1. Same codebase, completely different content and users<br> 2. Same codebase, different content, same users<br> 3. Same code base, same configuration, different content, same users
<br clear="all"><br> Each configuration should cover:<br> settings.php<br> database prefixes<br> and whatever else changes, though I can't think of what.<br> <br>
When I figure out my own site I can write up something basic, but if
anyone has any ideas/rough drafts for putting those forum posts in a
cohesive document, that should be shared I think.<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span></div><div><div>Breaking these listing into those three categories seems like a good idea.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div>

For number 1, I found an *excellent* forum post:<br>

Most people post when they have problems, and you have to wade through
to find the solution... he posted the solution! People
should do that more often. ^.^<br>

Does this information exist somewhere else in the handbook, other than
install > multi site setup? I can't believe it, so I feel like
I must be missing something... The install.txt actually is not so
bad in this respect, but it says find more info in the handbook, and
since no mention of database prefixes is mentioned, I'm a bit
confused. This is a support q, but in order to have a multi-site
thingy, do you even need different databases? <br></blockquote><div><br></div></span></div><div><div>No.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br>
No? Maybe this is a terminology thing... I think of a set
of tables with the same prefix as 1 drupal database. I think you
are thinking that you can have several sets of tables in the same
database...? Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense... if you
could run several drupals off the same set of tables, why would you
even need to create shared user tables?<br>

I am completely baffled, there isn't even a *bad* mention, just complete absence.<br>
<br>
Anyway, this should be relatively easy, it's not technically difficult, but it does have to be accurate.<br>
<br>
In addition to the handbook pages, the install and install.mysql text should be updated.<br>
