I just finished joining up this group. Since I lurk in Gainesville, I thought it would make sense. I do not have anything up right now because I am trying to figure out how to do multiple sites using drupal. Yep, I am that much of a newbie. Be afraid!

its not that hard really
Mauricio -
First off, welcome aboard! Multiple sites isn't really all that hard to setup, but depends greatly on you hosting situation. The walkthru in the manual is really good...
multisite on Dreamhost
I am just setting up multi sites on my web provider dreamhost ... it is very easy.
Cron still works fine you just point to each domains cron.php
For "files" such as pictures you upload a good idea is to set the "files" folder in the admin settings to a files folder in that specific domains "sites" directory ...
If you sort of understand what I am describing it will work for you .... drupal does all of the magic straight out of the box... I have 3 domains combined and as I upgrade to 5.0 I will combine all of mine.

Mine was a bit more of a headscratcher, Joe - turns out for my hosting setup I had to change the domains I was using that weren't my "primary" domain to be "parked" on my server - this way the hosting server would route them to the "primary" domain name, which is what Drupal needs in order for the built-in multisite functions to take over!
Once I'd figured that out - easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
Trouble with multisite on Dreamhost
Joe,
I use Dreamhost as well and I'm having a very challenging time getting the multi-site set-up to work.
First, it sounds like you don't have the codebase in the root, but rather a folder under the root? That is how I'd prefer it to be set up, but I didn't get very far with that.
So, I just put the code base in the root. Things appeared to be working there until I attempted a symlink. I just could never get that to work right. Is the symlink step needed with Dreamhost? If not, what is the "trick"? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me! I've spent the entire day on this and am about to give up!
Thanks,
Kris
