I beg you to please move discussions like this to the drupal-docs list. We are try to do some *development* here :) -moshe Morbus Iff wrote:
If you want a separate Drupal installation under a subdirectory (such as www.example.com/site3), it's important that the subdirectory exists and refers back to the primary location of your Drupal install. For example, if your primary installation is located in the directory 'www.example.com', then the following shell command run in the 'www.example.com' directory would create a symlink for 'site3':
ln -s . site3
It would be good to be consistent with terms, so maybe
'document root' should be used when refering to 'the directory'.
I worry about this. "DocumentRoot" is the name of an Apache directive. The only other place we mention some fort of that in the INSTALL.txt is:
This will create a new directory drupal-x.x.x/ containing all Drupal files and directories. Move the contents of that directory into a directory within your web server's document root or your public HTML directory:
In this paragraph, "document root" == "Apache DocumentRoot". It does not necessarily equate to "Drupal installation directory" or even a "public HTML directory."
Using "document root" would confuse issues, as "Drupal installation directory" doesn't NECESSARILY equate to the "document root" phrase we, or Apache, has already established.
