[support] Double site

[simone-www.io-lab.org]

Trying and trying...
I decided to move drupal install in root/drupal then creating as usual
root/drupal/sites/site1  root/drupal/sites/site2 with the necessary
settings files.
I have specified that base url is mysite.com/drupal, same database for all.
I expect at least to be able to reach site1 at mysite.com/drupal/site1
but in  cant.I don t know if the htaccess file should be touched or
not
