Thanks Jason, it appears that that was the "missing link." :) I did not realize, perhaps I missed it in the installation instructions somewhere, that you should create a symlink to the drupal install as I had assumed that it would by virtue of creating the settings folder, set up the site to generate content based upon the base install.
I am now curious, why is this required? And what are the possibilities of having such an arrangement? If for example, I created the folder instead of symlinking it, what could be done in such a case? Would I have to set up another drupal installation therein in order to utilize it? I thought that the primary purpose of this was simply to not have to worry about upgrading multiple drupal installs and modifying multiple code bases as required.
Thanks again,

I'm trying to set up the following scenario: mydomain.com/main is the primary Drupal installation.
I am wanting users to be able to access a new Drupal site at: mydomain.com/main/NewSite
In order to accomplish this, I have the following already in place (I'm on a linux server with plesk): ~/httpdocs/main/sites/default/settings.php ~/httpdocs/main/sites/mydomain.com.main.NewSite/settings.php
I set the files in ~/httpdocs/main/sites/mydomain.com.main.NewSite/ settings.php up to the new database for that site, however each time I go to "www.mydomain.com/main/NewSite" I get the default Drupal site error: "Page not found"
I've been pouring over documentation I can find on multiple sites on one Drupal install, but am not having any luck. Could someone please offer some suggestions or help to ascertain what might be going wrong here?
Thanks so much.

And you put something in ~/httpdocs/main/NewSite/ or created a symlink to ~/httpdocs/main/ and you changed the $base_url in ~/httpdocs/main/sites/mydomain.com.main.NewSite/settings.php to reflect the correct address of http://www.mydomain.com/main/NewSite and you verified your letter case in all places, since you have mixed case directories?
