Hi
I have a working Drupal 4.7 site at www.mydomain.com (no, I can't move to 5.x yet) and now I want to add a second site at subdomain.mydomain.com. I have set up the required directories as follows:
public_html/ public_html/default (settings.php for the the main site)
Uhm, that should be public_html/sites/default/settings.php
public_html/sites public_html/sites/subdomain.mydomain.com (settings.php for the new site)
Yes, that is correct. Are you using the same DB? Did you prefix the tables with subdomain_?
public_html/sites/subdomain.mydomain.com/files
You will need to modify your files setting in the administration GUI.
public_html/sites/subdomain.mydomain.com/modules public_html/sites/subdomain.mydomain.com/themes
These two are only needed if you plan to use modules and/or themes that are not present in the default site.
As I'm using cPanel, I have followed the instructions at http:// drupal.org/node/125539#comment-208916, so the symbolic link for is created and seems to be pointing to the root.
I don't know about this, I don't use cPanel.
However, when I point my browser to subdomain.mydomain.com for installing, I only get a 500 Internal Server Error.
Usually a result of something not configured correctly. You must execute the install.php script manually for the subdomain; i.e. http://subdomain.mydomain.com/install.php.
Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong?
Be sure to check your log and system files. For debugging, you might want to add ``php_value display_errors On'' to your .htaccess file.
