Hello,
I'm trying to setup my drupal installation to have multiple sites. So, in my sites directory, I copied the default directory as menashalibrary.org. I created a new database for that site, and modified the settings.php file in the menashalibrary.org directory to point to the database. But, when I go to the url for the site: http://www.wals.lib.wi.us/drupal/sites/menashalibrary.org I get a 403 forbidden error.
Looking at my server logs, I get this: [error] [client 172.30.2.145] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/drupal/sites/menashalibrary.org/
Requesting http://www.wals.lib.wi.us/drupal/sites/menashalibrary.org is asking drupal to serve you the default file in the /drupal/sites/ menashalibrary.org directory on http://www.wals.lib.wi.us, not the site menashalibrary.org.
Apache is returning a forbidden error because the default index file is set in the .htaccess to be index.php but the only file in that directory is settings.php.
To have multiple sites working you need to set up the domain menashalibrary.org in Apache and set the DocumentRoot to your drupal install, in addition to setting up the database and settings.php.
Hope that makes sense *:)
