[drupal-support] multiple sites

[Christopher Taylor]

Hi,
I did all the steps.
I aded a sub-directory of "ci" under sites with a settings.php.
I aded the settings.php file.
I can't pull it up.
Does this make the site address
ci.example.com or example.com/ci.
How do you set this?
Sorry, I tried to read the example help text and I just can't make sense of
it with my speech system.

Regards
