Thanks everyone. I didn’t realise it was so simple – my mistake
was reading that long drupal 4.7 thread about crazy symbolic linking and all
that instead of just reading settings.php!
Anyway in the end I realised that even though I don’t want to
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.
I’m going to go with this and see how it goes, but it’s good to
know I have the other alternative if necessary.
Regards,
John

We have sites running as multisites, it
works just fine!
For multisite on windows:
http://drupal.org/node/32715
Read 'settings.php', in the
sites/default folder, to understand how drupal searches it's folder to locate
the file storing a particular domain's settings.php.
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.
If you want some settings to be shared
between the sites you could go in for a shared database configuration.

Hi,
i use multisite to set up my sites
www.mysite.de/one
www.mysite.de/two
www.mysite.de/three
in sites dir I have www.mysite.de.one, i
think.
I don't see what's stopping you.
I use 6.x and it seems that the thread
you mention is much older.
