Re: [support] Drupal 7 multi site problem

<snip> "Multisite" means multiple sites installed on a single codebase. You have to have a base installation and that is where the VirtualHost will point. ? Nancy </snip> Thank you Nancy The fault was not the base installation but the way I named the test multi site. example.com did not work, apparently because there is a web page on a domain called example.com but example1.ab and example2.xy did work well as a multi site on my home pc. It is a bit misleading in the Drupal.org tutorial which uses example.com in a number of places as examples for multi site installation. So now it works on my home Fedora 16 box but I have no luck getting it to work on the ISP's remote centos shared server where I cannot access nor change httpd.conf, and /etc/hosts does not exist. Increasingly I find it a pity that apache has to be altered when the redirection and access could instead be through /sites.php which in this case seems to have no effect, or I am not understanding the instructions. That sites.php in the /sites folder seems correct but Drupal seems to ignore it no matter what I put on the last line as per instructions. Whatever! It seems that http.conf and /etc/hosts has to be altered and I cannot find out how in cpanel or ssh on a shared server. I wonder how others in similar situations have achieved multi sites on shared server? thanks Roger

Drupal 7 multi site problem
by Roger 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi I seem to have problems getting multi sites to work. On my home pc Fedora 16 I have latest Drupal 7 in /var/www/html In /sites I have example.com. In example.com I have settings.php and /files both a+w I have not installed the base drupal as I only wish installation of multisites. /etc/hosts set to 127.0.0.1 example.com localhost.localdomain localhost NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80 <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/html ServerName localhost </VirtualHost> <Directory /var/www/html/example.com> Options +FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> Calling example.com gives error message :The Drupal installer requires that you create a settings file as part of the installation process. Copy the /./sites/default/default.settings.php/ file to /./sites/example.com/settings.php /What could be wrong please, I 'm really stuck as I need to understand the process so that I can set up multisites on the centos shared server. Help would be much appreciated thank you.

Groups like users
by Marcos Barbosa 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hello! This is my first e-mail, but sounds to me like a complex question. Is possible use groups like users (send private messages, post in discussion board, etc.)? The idea is create groups for companies and each company has multiple users to admin, but all user (in a company) need to speak in the company's name. Best regards. -- Marcos Barbosa <marcosestevesbarbosa(a)gmail.com>

Drush changes permissions and overwrites htaccess
by Tim Johnson 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Drush is changing permissions on the target root (@stage) 755 to 750 and overwritting .htaccess (@stage) When I run drush rsync @dev @stage How can I prevent these two actions? As ever, I'm sure there is a documentation or discussion on these matters. I'm not clear from example.aliases.drushrc.php thanks -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com

Mass account creation

I'd like to create accounts for some folks whose email and names i I know. After I enter the names and emails, it should send an email to each person asking them to sign on and set a password, or some kind of notification. Is there a module that does this for d6? Thanks, Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org

Nevermind, I figured it out -- I wasn't thinking in the "Drupal Way" -- the solution I came up with is to use the form submit handler to collect the values submitted and send them to another custom module to do the actual db search and display.

In filezilla for example it is called owner, group and Public permissions, but this all boils down to the same point: You should not have to make a file world/public/other - accessible if you want to keep your pants on ;-) So right now maybe the file has the following denominations: drwxrwxr-x daniel daniel yourfolder which means that the group and owner bits are daniel if I want to change it to make it accessible not the world/other/public then I have to set it chmod 750 Now apache cannot access it, so I have two options: 1. I chown the folder (and subcontent - use with greatest care): chown -R daniel.www-data yourfolder This would be the option that you choose if you have a shell access or someway to change the group of your files. 2. I just add apache to the group daniel (not recommended) (and yes, technically speaking it is user (u) group (g) and other (o) as in the bash-script that I use to correct my drupal permissions if I messed something up see http://mentalitea.com/drupalpermissions.)
