Multisite

Multisite http://groups.drupal.org/multisite Discuss aspects of running multiple sites from a single Drupal install. en Drupal 6 Shared database setup - sharing everything but nodes/themes/navigation http://groups.drupal.org/node/14154 <p>I have found a very nice guide for D5: <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/11795" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/11795">http://groups.drupal.org/node/11795</a> but I wonder if anything has changed for D6?</p> <p>I am creating multisite installation. No logged users (except for article authors - about 10 of them). Everything shared, but the theme, navigation and nodes. No search. Exactly the same set of modules on each site (with different configuration thou). My question is:</p> <p>What would be the minimum set of tables that would have to be separate? Or to put it another way: what can be shared?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14154#comments Multisite Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:50:19 +0000 Etanol 14154 at http://groups.drupal.org shared login for a different kind of multi-site http://groups.drupal.org/node/14016 <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I'm running a different kind of multi-site in that it's basically 6 domains parked on top of each other and I am using some simple logic with paths and taxonomy in the init hook to force specific domains for specific pages -- so far all is working great -- I'm even able to reset the site email and name in the init hook so that outgoing emails go from the correct address. (It's Drupal 5)</p> <p>The one thing I can't seem to get to work is shared login -- I thought it would be simple because it's a single database so all I would have to do is uncomment the $cookie_domain in the settings folder. But that's not working, you have to login to each site individually.</p> <p>I also tried the shared login module, even though it's not meant for this set up and that didn't work either.</p> <p>Anybody have any ideas on this?</p> <p>thanks,<br /> Sam</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14016#comments Multisite Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:22:31 +0000 samacohen 14016 at http://groups.drupal.org CPanel and Shared Virtual Hosting Limitations & Possibilities http://groups.drupal.org/node/14004 <p>My web host uses CPanel and I get 2 TB of space with unlimited domains for just $144/year. CPanel comes with Fantastico, which is the only way I've been able to get Drupal of any type working so far, but I can only install 6.2 that way because that is what Fantastico uses (at this time).</p> <p>I would like to learn CMS and graduate from Dreamweaver so I can become a more valuable webmaster. But I seem to be caught up in installation SNAFUs and certainly need to upgrade and have the option to use other versions of Drupal.</p> <p>I was thinking multisite made sense since I envisioned having a number of clients with a variety of needs so I subscribed to this group, but after reading many posts, mostly scratching my head wondering what they mean, it seems that the focus of multi-site is on something else.</p> <p>Is there anyone here who could indulge me on describing the basic typical uses of multi-site and just tell me whether multi-site is the totally wrong approach for what I am trying to do? Please keep in mind that I am a novice and actually quite frustrated with drupal at this time. I was told it would be easy but the experience so far is that nothing ever works.</p> <p>Possibly, what I need is a different web hosting solution. I would be open to recommendations. I am on a very limited budget, though. Is there anyone who would work on a client/commission basis and help me with set ups, maybe help me along a bit with some consulting for a share in my client revenues?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/14004#comments cpanel Fantastico shared hosting Multisite Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:40:45 +0000 jamescarvin 14004 at http://groups.drupal.org Email delivery discrepancy: Parent vs. subdomain http://groups.drupal.org/node/13926 <p>This was posted originally here >>>http://drupal.org/node/293930</p> <p>But I realized belatedly that it might be better to address this to those with multisite experience.</p> <p>I have drupal 6.3 installed and run about 20 other TLDs (site1.com, site2.com, etc., all folders located in the /sites directory) off that single installation.

These blogs will be simple and identical, and far different from my main site installation. I'm running Drupal (6.3) on my top level domain (<a href="http://www.example.com" title="www.example.com">www.example.com</a>). I've been reading for several hours, all kinds of solutions, and have settled on one which may work. I'd like to share my solution, and get your feedback and answers to a few points I'm not clear about. I'm not a Drupal noob, but I'm not exactly a programmer either, so simplest is best, as long as it gets the job done safely.</p> <p>A. Will it work to set up a completely new installation of Drupal at clients.example.com, and set that up to run as a multisite without interfering with my main installation?</p> <p>B. Do I have to create the actual physical directory "clients.example.com/client1" on the server?</p> <p>C. My understanding is that when I set up the sites directory structure as above, and point my browser to clients.example.com/client1, as long as my settings.php is virgin, this will call the install.php from the main site. Do I need to be concerned about whether it calls install.php from the domain root, instead of the clients subdirectory installation?</p> <p>D. During installation, can I specify the same database as I'm using for the multisite hub, (clients.example.com), and specify a prefix for that client sub-site? I see that Domain Access plus Domain Prefix might be another way to do this, but again, I'm trying to keep things simplest.</p> <p>E. Is there a straightforward way to set up and duplicate a reference site, in order to easily copy common content, menus, vocabularies, etc.? I'm guessing this would require messing with the database. I'm somewhat comfortable using phpAdmin on my server and MySQL Administrator from my local computer to do simple operations. Would also be able/willing to do command line actions if that's required. Perhaps my desire to have this capability points to setting up separate databases for each client installation as the best solution? My preference is to have a single database to backup weekly, rather than one for every client, but maybe I could automate that.</p> <p>F. Is there any way to set things up so a client could log into their private site (clients.example.com/client1) and also be automatically logged into the main site (example.com), but users could not go the other way around and gain access to private client sites just by logging into the main site? At this point, I'm thinking this setup will require two logins.</p> <p>I know I may be asking for a lot here, but I figure I want to see what the boundaries are before I go ahead with this solution. I'm going in this multisite direction for three reasons: 1) OG seems a little tricky to set up potentially dozens or even hundreds of single-member groups and keep access to content private - maybe I'm wrong, but it seems too much could go wrong to expose someone's content to the public. 2) I'd like to not jeopardize my client setups while being free to push the envelope on my main site, so would prefer two separate databases. 3) I'd like a sure way to bar search engine and other robots; even though login would be required to access any content on the multisites, dropping the appropriate robots.txt in the root subdirectory seems just that little bit safer; plus, there won't be any access to posting or commenting on any of these sites without an administrator-created account, which is more strict control than I'd like to have on my main site.</p> <p>I'd appreciate anyone shooting holes in my logic or cluing me in to things I've missed.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your help.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13214#comments multisite Multisite Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:09:29 +0000 joeshirley@drupal.org 13214 at http://groups.drupal.org ChinaOpen: Part 2 - Drupal Open-Training http://groups.drupal.org/node/13123 <p>Having launched ChinaOpen this saturday, we will be shifting from Adobe's Flex/AIR track into Drupal, from Tuesday July 15, 2008 on.</p> <p>This is an "introduction to Drupal" type of training, detail as follows:</p> <p>7月12日， ChinaOpen 第一站：adobe flex，详细请见 <a href="http://drupalchina.org/node/4782" title="http://drupalchina.org/node/4782">http://drupalchina.org/node/4782</a><br /> 从7月15日起, ChinaOpen 第二站： Drupal公开课程，<br /> 具体课程安排如下：</p> <p>7月15 第一帧 Drupal 基础<br /> 将以drupal5.x版本讲述，暂定2008年7月15日上午9：30开始<br /> 主题：</p> <ol> <li>Drupal简介及基础概念</li> <li>安装drupal（drupal5.8）</li> <li>使用garland模板，在给定的garland主题和样式中，创建第一个drupal网站。<br /> 认识drupal的结构。</li> <li>认识drupal幕后：构建网页的几个重要文件<br /> a) Template.php<br /> b) Page.tpl.php<br /> c) Node.tpl.php<br /> d) Block.tpl.php</li> </ol> <p>7月16 第二帧用drupal制作一个有独立风格/样式/内容的网站<br /> 将以drupal5.x版本讲述，暂定2008年7月16日上午9：30开始<br /> 主题：<br /> 1. 从静态样式页面到动态主题页面的过程，从美工的DIV/CSS到如何植入Drupal<br /> 2. 通过几个重要的建站元素（Region, content type ,view）搭建主题网站<br /> 3. 利用一些“内核”外的常用的模块，扩展网站的功能<br /> a) View<br /> b) cck<br /> c) tinymce<br /> d) image<br /> e) upload<br /> f) sitemap<br /> 。。。。。。。</p> <p>课程地点在：<br /> 北京市海淀区东北旺西路8号<br /> 中关村软件园孵化器<br /> 3号楼B座1314室<br /> 详情地址可以参见 <a href="http://drupalchina.org/node/3638" title="http://drupalchina.org/node/3638">http://drupalchina.org/node/3638</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/washington-dc-drupalers">Washington, DC Drupalers</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13123#comments Adobe Technologies Bei Jing (China) Curriculum and Training Multisite Northern VA Users Group Services Shanghai Washington, DC Drupalers Sun, 13 Jul 2008 06:15:18 +0000 john.zhu 13123 at http://groups.drupal.org One database, one main installation (shared modules, themes) -> many websites on different domains http://groups.drupal.org/node/13111 <p>To say less words and to be more clear, I've made a scheme of system, that I want to create.</p> <p>If you've already made the same system, please, share your knowledge, and describe, how you did it.<br /> If you just know how to do it, sure you are welcome to write as well.</p> <p><img src="http://www.picamatic.com/show/2008/07/12/11/597488_800x495.png" alt="Multisite structure"></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/13111#comments domains Multisite Sat, 12 Jul 2008 07:32:00 +0000 Mavros Gatos 13111 at http://groups.drupal.org Reinventing the Wheel? http://groups.drupal.org/node/12975 <p>I am looking to set up a number of related but individual sites. The sites will all be configured identically but will have their own users and content. However, on occasion some of the users and nodes will need to be shared.</p> <p>Inspired by a Drupal-Dojo session on db_rewrite_sql I have started to write a module that does this:</p> <ol> <li>Relies on Drupal multisite functionality to share most tables but make cache and system tables site independent.</li> <li>Has three tables to keep track of which users/nodes/taxonomy terms are available for which sites.</li> <li>Uses the internal Drupal APIs to add users/nodes/taxonomy terms to said tables when they are added for a particular site.</li> <li>Uses hook_db_rewrite_sql and the internal Drupal APIs to mitigate which users/nodes/taxonomy terms are available to which sites depending on said tables.</li> <li>Eventually, I would need to set up rules and admin pages for sharing the users/nodes/taxonomy terms across sites.</li> </ol> <p>My question, am I reinventing the wheel here? I have taken a look at some of the multisite modules but haven't seen anything doing this exactly. There seem to be some really developed modules that excel at doing very complex things that don't quite meet my needs. But I haven't gone too deep in to the code to see if there are pieces that I can use and build on.</p> <p>Or even if anyone thinks I can contribute some code to an existing project to make this to work, I would rather do that than create another multisite module. Of course, if anyone thinks it is worthwhile, I will contribute this back and work with anyone interested in developing it out.</p> <p>If you are wondering specifically what I am working on: we provide our member school libraries with websites that are identical but they add their own content and have their own unique users. However, we would like to allow the libraries to share things like book reviews and web links across their sites.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12975#comments Multisite Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:10:34 +0000 aaustin 12975 at http://groups.drupal.org Multisite access module options http://groups.drupal.org/node/12934 <p>hello, i am new to both the group and drupal in general. Although i have been aware of drupal, i have not tried a serious installation of it beyond the core installation. I now have a project, that i would like to make a real attempt into integrating with the drupal universe. i plan on installing a drupal 6.2 installation on a unix server running, apache 2.2.9, php 5.2.6, mysql 5.0.51a.</p> <p>The goal of my multisite installation, will be to create 3 domains (example1.com, example2.com, and example3.com) with a single user and forum login (i would like to have every user be unique across all 3 domains). The 3 sites may or may not have shared content, blocks, nodes, themes etc. I would like the option to go either route if possible.</p> <p>I would like to create access for administrator, editor, contributor, authorized user and anon/public. There will probably be gradients of authorization between these basic levels of access as the site grows.</p> <p>I have read quite a few group posts and threads including.<br /> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/11494" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/11494">http://groups.drupal.org/node/11494</a><br /> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/7725" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/7725">http://groups.drupal.org/node/7725</a><br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/264531" title="http://drupal.org/node/264531">http://drupal.org/node/264531</a><br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/node/234087" title="http://drupal.org/node/234087">http://drupal.org/node/234087</a><br /> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/5392" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/5392">http://groups.drupal.org/node/5392</a><br /> among many others</p> <p>It seems to me that the options available to me are<br /> TAC<br /> OG<br /> OGR (when avail)<br /> CA<br /> ACL<br /> DA<br /> singlesignon</p> <p>So here's the .25 question.</p> <p>Which configuration of these modules or any others i may have missed would make the most sense.</p> <p>If i just blindly installed them all and did not use some of them, what problems, might i be setting myself up for in the future. If i just went with a more streamlined install, and went with just one or 2 of them, what problems would i run into if i added components in the future.</p> <p>What kind of db changes would i need to make to run a single user base for site and forum access/permissions.</p> <p>The forums will exist separately on each individual sites domain as they will be somewhat unrelated. I would just like user for domain A to join domain A and have access to domain A, B, C and Forum A,B,C and be unique across all 3 domains. Basically a single username directory for a 3 sites and forums</p> <p>Ok so maybe there were .50 of questions there. and i'm sure i'll be adding to them as suggestions and answers arrive.

It is a closed site, so you have to be an authenticated user to see any content.</p> <p>One of the OG groups want to have their group homepage public as an external web page. This external site should contain exactly the same content as their group homepage, but have its own theme and no user login.<br /> In other words, if you are logged in to my community site the group should have the same theme as for the rest of the community, but if you are anonymous user and looks at this group you will see it with a specific external theme.</p> <p>I have been thinking of two possible solutions for this:</p> <p>1) Set up 2 sites running from the same database. Were one is the community site and the other is a "read-only" site where anonymous user can see the group homepage with a different theme and menu system, but the same content.</p> <p>2) Only one site with different themes depending on taxonomy and user role. Then I would tag the group that I want to show externally with a taxonomy term, e.g. 'external'. I would then have a special theme for the taxonomy term 'external' if the user is anonymous. If the user is authenticated he will see the standard theme even if he is looking at the taxonomy term 'external'.<br /> <a href="http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_theme" title="http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_theme">http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_theme</a></p> <p>Any helpful ideas?<br /> Thanks!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12526#comments Multisite Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:27:41 +0000 seth97 12526 at http://groups.drupal.org zone file, conf file, named file and mysite.com/site1 http://groups.drupal.org/node/12505 <p>I run many sites off single core.</p> <p>Here's what I've done to make multisite work pretty good:</p> <ul> <li>Create mysql database with permissions <li><code>cd ../drupal/sites/</code> <li>cp -R default/ newsite.com <li>chmod o+w /sites/newsite.com/ <li>Add a zone file. <li>Add the new site to the conf file. <li>Add a ServerAlias in the vhost file. <li>Restart *named* <li>Direct my browser to newsite.com and run the install script ... </ul> <p>I can also add a new site to a subdomain(s) (site1.mysite.com and site2.site1.mysite.com) by adding "A" records to the mysite.com zone file.</p> <p>But now I have a new need: <strong>I need new installs at mysite.com/site1, mysite.com/site1/site2 (and not site1.mysite.com, site2.site1.mysite.com)</strong></p> <p>Specifically:</p> <ul> <li>What do I add to the drupal root directory or ../sites/ ? <li>What do I add to the zone file? <li>What - if anything - do I add to vhost file, etcetera? </ul> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12505#comments multisite installation issue Multisite Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:18:02 +0000 daouverson2 12505 at http://groups.drupal.org Shared database technique in general http://groups.drupal.org/node/11870 <p>After investing a lot of time trying to figure out how to do multi-site via a shared database, I've come to the following (personal opinion) conclusion.</p> <p>Just Say No</p> <p>Reasons:</p> <ul> <li>it's complex, difficult and dangerous</li> <li>Drupal' lack of canonical schema documentation</li> <li>problems with new module installs</li> <li>problems with upgrades</li> </ul> <p>Exceptions:</p> <p>If you are already a Drupal AND a database wizard (I'm neither)</p> <p>Playing around in a development environment, e.g. my current use case: in figuring out theming development, I'm installing then removing different themes, switching back and forth between them messes up my blocks, so I've got a multi-site sandbox set up sharing everything except system/layout/navigation tables.

Cohen 11720 at http://groups.drupal.org I'm having trouble setting up a second separate site - database tables need to get created somehow http://groups.drupal.org/node/11702 <p>Hi all, first time post.<br /> I have been using Drupal for my wife's business website for some time now and I really like it. I am running Drupal 6.2 on FreeBSD and I'm using Apache 2.2 as the web server and PostgreSQL as the db backend.</p> <p>I am trying to setup a website for myself using Drupal with a separate database for my site. I created the appropriate folder under sites/ and copied the settings.php file. I created a new db and set that db name and password in the settings.php file. I also configured apache to handle the new virtual server.<br /> The problem is that the database doesn't have any of the tables that it needs inside it, and I don't know how to get Drupal to create them.<br /> I set world write on the settings.php file, I removed it altogether, I copied the default settings file into my new site directory too, hoping that at some point Drupal would see this as a new site and automatically create the tables in the database. None of these tricks made it work. At best I was able to get Drupal to throw up a default page stating that the site was misconfigured.

Recently a client expressed a desire for a setup that I think will be best served by a multi-site setup. Here's what I need:</p> <p><a href="http://example.com" title="http://example.com">http://example.com</a><br /> <a href="http://example.com/site_i" title="http://example.com/site_i">http://example.com/site_i</a><br /> <a href="http://example.com/site_ii" title="http://example.com/site_ii">http://example.com/site_ii</a><br /> <a href="http://example.com/site_iii" title="http://example.com/site_iii">http://example.com/site_iii</a><br /> <a href="http://example.com/site_iv" title="http://example.com/site_iv">http://example.com/site_iv</a></p> <p>-> 5 sites total, each would have it's own content. Blocks, modules, etc would be the same from site to site (at this point in time), there may be a future need for different modules/etc.<br /> -> I'd like to share logins/sessions, but permissions could be different from site to site. If permissions have to be the same I can deal with that.<br /> -> Templates will be the same throughout each site, but will be different "color sets". This can easily be dealt with by separate templates, but updates would be a pita.<br /> -> This is a Windows Server, running iis and mysql. Having read through much of the multi-site documentation on d.o most of it deals with the linux environment and as much as I would like to move this client to a linux machine so I have a hope in hell of understanding what to do with the thing he has other "applications" running on the server that <em>must</em> run on a windows os.</p> <p>That's it in a nutshell. I'm guessing this is going to be relatively simple, just time consuming I thought I would come here and see if i could get some help from those who have done this sort of thing in the past.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/11494#comments Multisite Thu, 15 May 2008 02:22:06 +0000 Dixen 11494 at http://groups.drupal.org Hosting ideas? http://groups.drupal.org/node/10734 <p>Folks, I'm looking for some ideas.</p> <p>I currently play "site admin" for four different web sites. They are all physically located in different web hosting accounts with the same web host. All of them are running Drupal. My role with all of them is to keep Drupal and the necessary modules and themes up-to-date and to establish the structure and functionality of the site. It's someone else's job to create and manage content using the tools that Drupal provides. All of these sites are for not-for-profit organizations and I'm not making any money from them...just covering expenses.</p> <p>My dilemma is that I have four Drupal installations to maintain. That's a bit of a PITA. A new module version comes out and I have to upload it and install it here, then upload and install it there, etc. It's even more fun when I decide to upgrade Drupal. I stuck at 5.1 for a long time before I finally updated all of the sites to 5.7.</p> <p>I'm fairly adept with Drupal multi-site installations (one code base, separate databases). Does it make sense to consolidate all of these sites into one multi-site installation? Bandwidth might be an issue with one of the sites, but it'd still be within the bandwidth limits that most shared hosting accounts offer.</p> <p>Is there an downside to multi-site?</p> <p>Other thoughts?</p> <p>Bob...</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10734#comments hosting multi-site multisite reseller Indiana Multisite Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:37:55 +0000 bb37 10734 at http://groups.drupal.org How to redirect from subdomain login page to main domain login page across multisite and shared user environment? http://groups.drupal.org/node/10624 <p>Hi,<br /> I have one main site (mydomain.com) and one members subsite (members.mydomain.com).

Running two sites off the same database and prefixing certain tables should allow for a simple dev/prod environment.</p> <p>The idea is to isolate the configurations for the two different sites in two differently prefixed sets of tables, and allow all the content, users, taxonomy, etc. to mingle. To test this I've set up two subdomains, dev1.castlin.net and dev2.castlin.net. Here is the entry in settings.php for dev2 (dev1 is <em>strikingly similar</em>):</p> <div class="codeblock"><code>$db_prefix = array (<br />  'default' => '',<br />  'access' => 'dev2_',<br />  'authmap' => 'dev2_',<br />  'blocks' => 'dev2_',<br />  'blocks_roles' => 'dev2_',<br />  'boxes' => 'dev2_',<br />  'cache' => 'dev2_',<br />  'filters' => 'dev2_',<br />  'filter_formats' => 'dev2_',<br />  'flood' => 'dev2_',<br />  'menu' => 'dev2_',<br />  'node_access' => 'dev2_',<br />  'node_type' => 'dev2_',<br />  'permission' => 'dev2_',<br />  'role' => 'dev2_',<br />  'system' => 'dev2_',<br />  'users_roles' => 'dev2_',<br />  'variable' => 'dev2_',<br />); </code></div> <p>Let's pretend dev1 is my production site and dev2 is my development site. I can use .htaccess to limit access to dev2 to just my IP address, then tweak it freely without worrying about disturbing the functionality of dev1. Also, I have access to all the <em>actual content, user records, and taxonomy</em> of my production site in real time, so I can see exactly how the changes I'm making are affecting the site.</p> <p>When I get the dev site into a state I'm happy with, rolling it out to production should be easy:</p> <ol> <li>Put production offline for a minute.</li> <li>Change the prefix in production's settings.php to be the one I'm currently using for dev</li> <li>Clear the cache in production.</li> <li>Turn production back on.</li> </ol> <p>After this, production and development are effectively the same site. However, if I make another copy of the unshared tables and give them a different prefix, and set dev's prefix to that new one, I've split them again. You could either switch prefixes back and forth, or <strong>use a datestamp as the prefix to get a kind of site versioning</strong>.</p> <p>This approach is probably only useful for smaller sites with a single or very small pool of administrators and developers. However, I think it might be very nimble, and I really like the idea of having all the live content available in development in real time, and the potential to store "versions" of you site configuration.</p> <p>Of course, there are downsides. You have to pay very close attention to how modules are changing the database, and maybe add some more prefixes. Modules that don't format their queries properly will likely break this, but that's a problem with all prefixing. It also requires a degree of discipline: any configuration changes you make in Production will be "overwritten" when you switch in the Dev prefix.</p> <p>I've only tried this out on a small test site, so if you decide to use this technique on a real site, do so cautiously, and let me know how it goes!</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/10116#comments Boston Multisite Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:59:04 +0000 gcassie 10116 at http://groups.drupal.org Problem in restricting access to subdomains in multi-site http://groups.drupal.org/node/9986 <p>I've just made my first Multi-site go live, with the first now live.

My objective is to add new sites to my existing Drupal code base that have their own database.</p> <p>My multisite set up is as follows:</p> <p>Drupal is installed in /var/www/html/. This directory contains the core directories (e.g. files. modules, includes, and sites).</p> <p>In "sites", there are the directories "all", "default", and "mysite.com", which is the new site I'm adding.</p> <p>In "mysite.com", there are the directories "files", "modules", "themes", and "tmp". In addition, there is a symlink "html" that points to /var/www/html/. To be more specific, CDing symlink takes you to /var/www/html/sites/mysite.com.com/html which contains everything that /var/www/html/ contains.</p> <p>In settings.php, I have set $base_url = 'http://localhost/html'. However, browsing to <a href="http://localhost/mysite.com" title="http://localhost/mysite.com">http://localhost/mysite.com</a> brings me to a "Not Found" page. But, browsing to <a href="http://localhost/html/sites/mysite.com/" title="http://localhost/html/sites/mysite.com/">http://localhost/html/sites/mysite.com/</a> brings me to a directory page which contains all the folders in /var/www/html/sites/mysite.com/. Regardless, I'm unable to view the added Drupal site.</p> <p>Hopefully, someone will be able to point out my mistake or something that I am missing in my set up.</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Thai</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/9038#comments Multisite Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:45:00 +0000 thaironius 9038 at http://groups.drupal.org Multisite, different domains, single database/content but seperate on domains http://groups.drupal.org/node/8964 <p>Hi</p> <p>this is my objective:</p> <p>to have a single drupal installation, and i have 3 domains <a href="http://www.domain1.com" title="www.domain1.com">www.domain1.com</a>, <a href="http://www.domain2.com" title="www.domain2.com">www.domain2.com</a>, <a href="http://www.domain3.com" title="www.domain3.com">www.domain3.com</a></p> <p>I want to have one database, that is, all my content is entered from the main drupal site, but i want to assign each content to a single domain or multiple domains</p> <p>how can i achieve this?</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>im running 5.7</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8964#comments Multisite Sun, 17 Feb 2008 23:28:01 +0000 hisoc8y 8964 at http://groups.drupal.org Multisite for Content Separation http://groups.drupal.org/node/8567 <p>OK I've spent hours reading through the various shared database multisite options including TAC, multi-domain, OG, Domain-access and a number of others. Many of them seem to be very much concerned with access control for a community of logged-in users. One thing I'm not seeing clearly is the ability of a solution that allows a good old fashioned Web 1.0 webmaster to control exactly what content goes to which site.</p> <p>By this I mean that for a casual visitors, google bots, etc<br /> - Story A is on site1.com<br /> - Story B is on site2.com<br /> - Story C is on site1.com and site site2.com</p> <p>Ideally this would be set by the 'webmaster' when they are entering the story. The important thing would be that Story B doesn't appear anywhere on site1.com, not on any list of stories or any menu on site1. Even if a you manually changed the URL to from site2.com to site1.com you still couldn't find story B on site1.com (hopefully you would get a custom 'Page Not Found' if you tried that).</p> <p>I have the feeling that something like this may exist already but that it is hidden behind all the descripions of fine grained access control. Multi-Domain seems like it might be close to what I'm looking for but I'm a bit uncertain about the 'small patch to Drupal core',reliance on 'single signon' and the lack of activity.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8567#comments multisite Multisite Thu, 31 Jan 2008 09:51:19 +0000 dejb 8567 at http://groups.drupal.org Important: setting site_name or site_mail override variable will break first installation. http://groups.drupal.org/node/8331 <p>Setting the site_name or site_mail override variable will break installation when no user table is present, because it'll prevent you from creating the first administrator account.</p> <p>related bug report: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/212284" title="http://drupal.org/node/212284">http://drupal.org/node/212284</a></p> <p>you will need to put site_name and site_mail in comments during installation.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/multisite">Multisite</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/8331#comments multisite installation issue Multisite Mon, 21 Jan 2008 00:45:17 +0000 alexanderpas@drupal.org 8331 at http://groups.drupal.org Cannot enable or disable modules in each site created by multisite module http://groups.drupal.org/node/8322 <p>Hi everybody,<br /> I set up a drupal 5.6 and add the multisite module for creating many sites for my company. as we don't want to deploy the codes again and again for a simple CMS site.</p> <p>My problem is I cannot enable or disable modules for the created sites.<br /> Should I place the modules in the DIR sites/all/modules or just in the modules directory? --- I tryed this but nothing differents</p> <p>I followed this guide: <a href="http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/multisite_manager/INSTALL.txt?pathrev=HEAD&view=markup">http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/multisite_manager/INSTALL.txt?pathrev=HEAD&view=markup</a><br /> and it seems to works well. what I did just as this:<br /> My server is Debian sarge.<br /> take a look at the virtual host configurations:</p> <div class="codeblock"><code>debian-testing:/home/zof/drupal# cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/multi-site<br />NameVirtualHost *<br /><VirtualHost *><br />        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost<br />        ServerName ms.nacta.edu.cn<br />#       AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/(.*) /home/www-data/multi-site/$2<br />        DocumentRoot /home/www-data/multi-site<br />        <Directory /home/www-data/multi-site><br />                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews<br />                AllowOverride None<br />                Order allow,deny<br />                allow from all<br />        </Directory></p> <p>        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/ms-error.log</p> <p>        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,<br />        # alert, emerg.<br />        LogLevel warn</p> <p>        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/ms-access.log combined</p> <p>AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/index.php /home/www-data/multi-site/index.php<br />AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/(modules|misc|files|themes|sites)/(.*)$ /home/www-data/multi-site/$1/$2<br /><Location /><br />    RewriteEngine on<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />    RewriteRule ^home/www-data/multi-site(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]<br />  </Location><br /> <Location /site><br />    RewriteEngine on<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/site/<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index.php<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f<br />    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d<br />    RewriteRule ^/home/www-data/multi-site/site/(\w+)(/)?(.*)$ http://ms.nacta.edu.cn/site/$1/index.php?q=$3 [L,QSA]<br />  </Location></p> <p></VirtualHost></code></div> <p>and in the /home/www-data/multi-site/site/default/settings.php add these codes:<br /> 1.<code>$cookie_domain = 'ms.nacta.edu.cn';</code><br /> 2.</p> <div class="codeblock"><code>  $requri = explode('/', request_uri());<br />  if (sizeof($requri) >1 && $requri[1]=='site' && $requri[2] != '') {<br />    $my_site_base = $requri[2];<br />    #this will be the database shared between the main site and the shared sites<br />    $db_url = 'mysql://root:123456@localhost/ms';<br />$db_prefix = array(<br />     'default'   => $my_site_base.'_',<br />     'access'    => 'main_',<br />     'filters'   => 'main_',<br />     'filter_formats' => 'main_',<br />     'permission' => 'main_',<br />     'users'     => 'main_',<br />     'sessions'  => 'main_',<br />     'role'      => 'main_',<br />     'authmap'   => 'main_',<br />     'sequences' => 'main_',<br />     //'locales_meta' => 'main_',<br />     //'locales_source' => 'main_',<br />     //'locales_target' => 'main_'<br />   );<br />&
