was reading that long drupal 4.7 thread about crazy symbolic linking and all
that instead of just reading settings.php!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

use the i18n features to link translations of a certain page together, nevertheless
I can just run it all from the one site. Using i18n URL prefixing the various
pages will end up in /fr/... or /de/... depending on what language they are,
and this makes my life easier as I only have to manage one site instead of 5.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Read 'settings.php', in the

<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Drupal by default reads the settings.php
file in the default folder. You can configure the main portal settings in the
default directory. The subdomains a.com and b.com can be configured by creating
two new folders under the sites directory called yourdomain.a.com and
yourdomain.b.com. Each of these folders should have it's own settings.php. In
the settings.php of each site you have to name the database to be used. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>If you want some settings to be shared
