[support] Multiple Drupal Sites Errors

[lists at southernohio.net]

Thanks Jason, it appears that that was the "missing link." :)  I did  
not realize, perhaps I missed it in the installation instructions  
somewhere, that you should create a symlink to the drupal install as  
I had assumed that it would by virtue of creating the settings  
folder, set up the site to generate content based upon the base install.

I am now curious, why is this required?  And what are the  
possibilities of having such an arrangement?  If for example, I  
created the folder instead of symlinking it, what could be done in  
such a case?  Would I have to set up another drupal installation   
therein in order to utilize it?  I thought that the primary purpose  
of this was simply to not have to worry about upgrading multiple  
drupal installs and modifying multiple code bases as required.


Thanks again,

-George

And you put something in ~/httpdocs/main/NewSite/ or created a  
symlink to
~/httpdocs/main/ and you changed the $base_url in
~/httpdocs/main/sites/mydomain.com.main.NewSite/settings.php to  
reflect the
correct address of http://www.mydomain.com/main/NewSite and you  
verified your
letter case in all places, since you have mixed case directories?
