Hey After looking through tons of guides and howtoes I'm still nowhere near a working solutions. I have added the following structure to my sites folder: /sites/all/modules /sites/all/themes /sites/default/ /sites/default/files/ /sites/default/settings.php /sites/site1.com/files/ /sites/site1.com/modules/ /sites/site1.com/themes/ /sites/site1.com/tmp/ /sites/site1.com/settings.php I have created at vhost file for apache2 with the following settings: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName site1.com DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/drupal/" ServerAlias site1.com <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/drupal/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all DirectoryIndex index.php <FilesMatch "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> </Directory> </VirtualHost> My problem is that drupal appears to ignore my settings file under site1.com. So I get the default site even if i access the site using 'www.site1.com'. Am i missing something obvious here? All help would greatly be appreciated. Regards Joe
