Hello,
We're in the process of setting up Drupal to be used for one week in a classroom setting. There will be 10 teams each creating their own site with Drupal. Performance is not a big issue for us.
We've messed around with a multisite installation and have had some problems. We're now thinking of going a different route, and I''ve set up our server as follows:
10 Drupal code bases each with it's own mysql database:
/var/www/html/drupal1 /var/www/html/drupal2 /var/www/html/drupal3 ... /var/www/html/drupal10
Additionally, there are 10 aliases in httpd.conf :
Alias /drupal1 /var/www/html/drupal1 Alias /drupal2 /var/www/html/drupal2 Alias /drupal3 /var/www/html/drupal3 ... Alias /drupal10 /var/www/html/drupal10
Considering our classroom environment, and that performance is not a priority, will this setup be OK? Any comments from those with experience administering Drupal would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

John, this should work fine. You would need separate DB anyway.

This will work. Remember to set .htaccess overrides for each directory in an apache conf file if you want to use clean URLs.
Generally, I use one codebase and mutltisite in this scenario, with separate subdirectories in the sites directory. You can put discrete themes, modules and files directories in each of those subdirectories.
What problem are you having with multisite?
