[drupal-support] Problems with multiple sites, 1 codebase using subfolders

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, all,

I've been wrestling with this one for a few days, and I feel like I must 
be missing something obvious.

I'm trying to install multiple sites off one codebase, and have the 
url's appear as if the sites are in subdirectories -- ie

   1. my.domain.com/dir1
   2. my.domain.com/dir2
   3. my.domain.com/dir3
   4. etc

In the past, I have set up multiple sites off one codebase with no 
problems -- these sites, however, were subdomains (my.domain.com, 
sub.domain.com, sub2.domain.com, etc)

On this install, I can get a site up and running for the main domain 
name (my.domain.com) by setting up a directory within sites named 
my.domain.com with the settings.php file configured correctly.

However, when I change the directory name in the sites folder to 
"my.domain.com.dir1" and make the necessary adjustments (change the 
$base_url) in the settings.php file and try to navigate to 
"http//my.domain.com/dir1", I receive the following error:

|Warning: main(sites/default/settings.php): failed to open stream: No 
such file or directory in 
/home/dwf/public_html/comp/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 642
Warning: main(): Failed opening 'sites/default/settings.php' for 
inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in 
/home/dwf/public_html/comp/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 642
Unsupported database type|

Line 642 of bootstrap.inc is the line that calls for the settings.php 
file, so it appears that, somehow, the settings.php file is not being seen.

The site is hosted at site5, on a Linux server with Apache 1.3, php 
4.4.0, and MySql 4.0.25.

As always, any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill.
