or multisite on windows: http://drupal.org/node/32715

Read 'settings.php', in the sites/default folder, to understand how drupal searches it's folder to locate the file storing a particular domain's settings.php.

Drupal by default reads the settings.php file in the default folder. You can

configure the main portal settings in the default directory. The subdomains a.com and b.com can be configured by creating two new folders under the sites directory called yourdomain.a.com and yourdomain.b.com. Each of these

folders should have it's own settings.php. In the settings.php of each site you have to name the database to be used.

If you want some settings to be shared between the sites you could go in for

a shared database configuration. http://drupal.org/node/43816 Multi-site installation and set-up

Hi...

I have installed drupal 6.8 and its working fine with no problems at all. However, now I am into a scenario where I want to host multiple sites with different databases, different content but the same codebase.

I know i can do it by juts extracting a drupal tar file and re-installing stuff again..But this would be my worst case situation. I want to do it using the multiple site flexibility.

I am a newbie when it comes to setting up virtual hosts. I am using openSUSE 11.1

thanks in advance! Radhika
