set-up and configuration

Greetings all,

I'm a Drupal newbie, and am trying to set up a framework for importing the contents of a static site into a Drupal install. I'm running 6.16 on a domain I administer. I don't really want separate English and Japanese pages, and don't really want/need Japanese and English menus. Just want to be able to publish bilingually. I've tried to set things up, but get "moji-bake" after publishing pages that work fine on the static site.

Hello,
So here is my problem, I created a multi-site installation of Drupal using a single source tree with 50+ sub-sites using symlinks for each. The problem I have is if I try to create a page alias on a sub-site that is the same as another symlink sub-site directory Drupal will not display the page. Instead Drupal will validate the URL as the first sub-site's home page.
Here is an example

1) I have a default site at:
www.example.com

2) I have two sub-sites
www.example.com/math
www.example.com/arts

If on the math sub-site I attempt to create a page using pathauto like so:
