Spoke too soon. Some pages load correctly and some do not. I am very
confused.

I installed my Drupal site at http://mydomain.com/drupal and everything
works fine. I registered a new domain www.newdomain.com that points
directly to the http://mydomain.com/drupal directory. I tried changing
the settings.php file so that the drupal site is now www.newdomain.com
but when the initial page loads there are no frames. I am obviously
missing some setting somewhere. Help

What exactly did you change?


The important thing is that the settings.php file must be in a
"/sites/newdomain.com" directory.


Usually the $base_url in the settings.php file can be left commented
out.

The settings.php is in /sites/default


When I access the site from http://olddomain.com/drupaldir everything
works fine. When I access the site from www.newdomain.com the site comes
up without the left menu panel or the rightmost panel. Just the center
panel comes up.


I created a dir /sites/newdomain.com and copied the settings.php into
it. Still have the problem. It seems like drupal is looking for
something in the http://olddomain.com/htdocs directory. I am using a
theme with three panels. All of the drupal files are installed under
http://olddomain.com/drupal

OK. Changed newdomain.com to point to http://olddomain.com root and used
an HTML redirect to point to www.newdomain.com/durupaldir and everything
works fine. Not perfect but it works. I would prefer to not use the
redirect.
