Multisite

Hello and welcome.

I'm running several sites using Drupal's multisite feature, and noticed the absence of a group to discuss the various issues and how-tos related to doing this. If anyone has any questions about the basics, I can probably answer them. I'd also like to see some tutorials about more advanced stuff like sharing database tables.

Acount Sync Multisites

Hi, I've two sites in a multisite install from the subdomain type, they've been running for a while each one of them has it's own database and they only share the codebase. But now I need to integrate both sites with a single sign on, I've tried with bakery but the problem is that in both sites I have pre existing users so I need something to sync the accounts, I found this module Account Sync but it gives me a mysql syntax error:

Multisite Implementations with Different Domains

I've been using multisite for over a year and have set up subfolder sites (i.e., mysite.com/site1, mysite.com/site2) and a subdomain site (i.e., site3.mysite.com).

I'd like to use separate domains for implementations as well and just want to check to see whether I'd go through the same process.

Multisite: shared codebase, different users and contents

HI all,
I want to develop a drupal website that will offer the same service to different clients.
For example this website will be used from schools:
every school ask for a registration. One school admin will be created and also a website for this school (own theme). This school admin can create and manage ONLY users of this school. In the school we can have drirection, teachers, students related to a specific teacher and so on.
Drupal admin can manage admin_schools.
Contents are separated, but content types are commons (views, webforms....)

Quick question about multi-site setups and dedicated IPs

I've seen in various places that having different dedicated IPs for separate domains in a drupal multi-site config is difficult/not possible. My question is, is this really the case and is there any place where I can find a lengthy discussion of it? If not, could some one please explain it like i'm five for me?

Failed multisite setup

I was trying to create a multisite setup (which I've done a dozen times before) for a subdirectory (i.e., mydomain.com/failedsitename) implementation. After going through the setup process, the url www.mydomain.com/failedsitename is bringing up the www.mydomain.com web page instead of the Drupal install, even though the www.mydomain.com/failedsitename url is displayed.

How/where to switch multisite dev domains to the final domain?

Hi guys. I'm quite new to Drupal multisites and have what I hope is a simple query, I just don't know the answer. ;-)

How/where do you switch your multisite development subdomain, for example, devsite.quantos.co.uk to its full actual domain name, for example www.quantos.co.uk?

I've been successfully following the advise found on various sites, such as this one: http://groups.drupal.org/node/121989 but everything I've read so far only talks about theoretical development URLs and not what happens when you're re-developing a site and you're ready to switch over.

Multisite ecommerce setups and using SSL certificates

Question about Drupal multi-site ecommerce setups and using SSL certificates. I know that to use an SSL certificate, a dedicated IP address is required. So if you have a multi-site setup where each site needs to have an SSL cert, each site in the multi-site needs it's own IP address. From what I've read, this is quite a challenge to get around. So, I was wondering....what if an SSL certificate that secured multiple top level domains and used only 1 IP address was purchase - like this -

ImageCache module does not work properly with drupal 7 & ubercart modules

Hi.
i'm using drupal 7 on my website including ubercart module installed on it (http://feshal.com).
in the default drupal installation everything works good.

the problem is that when i want to use drupal's multisite feature to have another site (shot.feshal.com) product images didn't upload in the right place (on second site). and so product images are not displayed.

it seems this is the problem of the ImageCache problem because no image styles are created for the product image.
i have the same isues with the drupal 6.x

i have attached some screen shots.
please help...

Multisites and Git: best practices for local to live?

Greetings, I am struggling with how to setup my Git workflow in terms of my local dev multisite vs. live and how it relates to Git. My setup is that I have added a multisite to my main site which is in Git. So in /sites directory I now have:

subsite1.example.dev, the main site being example.dev. For the main site having a '.dev' extension has not been an issue but now for subsite1.example.dev, I can see this is going to be an issue as on my live site, it will be subsite1.example.com.

Multisite for Mobile?

I've been driving myself crazy trying to set up a mobile version of a Drupal 7 site - i've read that multisite might be a solution. What i'm trying to do is have two sites that use the same database - i've made a copy of the default sites directory and renamed it 'mobile'. I'm going on the idea that users on mobile devices will be redirected to mobile.mysite.com and Drupal multi-site will use the settings file in the mobile folder to change the theme of the mobile site.

Multisite with static fixed local IP

Hi

I've installed Drupal mainly for its multisite support. I must develop a project where I'll need to administer up to 40 sites using one drupal installation

For temporarily testing, I've configured an Ubuntu 11.10 server with lamp/webmin.

My problem is that every drupal multisite tutorial talks about apache virtualhosts with domains, but I can't use this stuff in this LAN (as far i know).

My PC and the server are behind a proxy, and both have static local IPs.

Drupal is located at http://10.x.x.150/drupal

Hide multisite from search engines

Hi,

I have a multisite for my mobile version, but I found the links to it in google. Duplicated content is really bad for SEO.

I cannot put robots.txt because it uses the same folder that already have robots.txt.

Any way to hide my mobile version site for the search engines?

Thanks

Anyone have a working D7 multisite setup that shares tables?

When I set up my D7 multisite shared tables with the $db_prefix in settings.php link in D6, I'm getting a PDOException error.

Does anyone have shared tables up in their D7 multisite setup? If so, could you document how it was set up?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sharing User Profile tables across multisites in D7?

D6 was so easy -- you just shared the Profile tables. Has anyone set this up in D7? There's no profile tables per se in D7. For example, I created a city data field on the profile page, and the field becomes an entity with its own table!

It's quite important in a multisite setup to have one profile for one user rather than a different profile on each domain/subdomain shared.
