I'm trying to understand Drupal multisite install which no matter what I try does not work. I have read and applied steps from most of the instructionals and tutorials.
Set up in /var/www/html.
I have 127.0.0.1 site1 localhost in /etc/hosts
I have DocumentRoot, ServerAdmin, ServerName,RewriteEngine, etc set up in <VirtualHost> in httpd.conf (Fedora14)
I have first.com/sites/default and first.com/sites/site1 which has settings.php renamed from default.settings.php chmod 777 on /sites/site1 and chmod 666 on settings.php
localhost/first.com works and is operational localhost/first.com/site1 gives Not Found error localhost/site1 gives Not Found error localhost/first.com.site1 gives Not Found error
errorlog reports [Sun May 15 05:44:47 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/html/first.com/site1
accesslog reports 127.0.0.1 - - [15/May/2011:05:44:47 +1000] "GET /first.com/site1 HTTP/1.1" 404 288
Is this a problem with /var/ww/html, should I have a directory in /home/user and set ServerRoot to that directory?
I'm trying to understand the role of .htaccess on my local machine because on the remote server I cannot alter httpd.conf so overrides have to be in the root .htaccess and this also has me stumped. Should I put the <VirtualHost> in .htaccess and leave httpd.conf untouched. It does not discuss this in the tutorials that I have read.
Thanks in advance Roger
