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.
Recommendation for multilingual, shared/unique content for global site
Hi,
I've set up many drupal stand alone sites, and I need advice on my first multisite. These are the specs:
1) Main global site in multiple languages (e.g., peace.org, Eng, French, Arabic)
2) Subdomains, with unique themes, languages, content, and some with unique urls (cryrwanda.com = rwanda.peace.org,, Eng, French, Rwandan)
3) iraq.peace.org, English, Arabic
Multisite subdirectories on a localhost
I'm new to drupal so please tell me If I'm leaving anything out. I'm installing a multisite drupal install on my local machine using WAMP server. I've got multisite working if i'm using a subdomain but i'm trying to get subdirectories working. What i've done so far.
Read moreMerge three sites
I currently have three sites that share a users database. The sites are set up in multisite. We have recently decided that we would like to share content in addition to sharing users. After doing some research, I think Domain Access will do the job. Now I'm faced with the challenge of getting content from all three sites combined into one database... Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how to approach this? I'm thinking of either using the node_import module or going with a custom script that will increment the node IDs across the site (could get messy...).

Run drush help [command] to view command-specific help.
Examples:
drush dl cck zen Download CCK module and Zen theme.
drush --uri=http://example.com status Show status command for the example.com multi-site.
drush help --pipe A space delimited list of commands

I am relatively new to drupal, so I apologize if I'm missing something obvious in this question.
I need to serve at least 2 separate websites with their own domain names and ssl certificates from a single webserver. For sake of discussion, let's call them foo.site.org and bar.site.org, on a server web.mega.net.
Read moreDoes Domain Access suit my needs?
I'm considering using the domain access module but would like to know, before I get too far down the track, whether it behaves as I want it to.
My aim is to use a single code base and a single database to host a number of sites.
Having multiple copies of the same same tables with different prefixes would not suit my purposes.
Having data from one site displayed to users of another site would not suit my purposes.
My questions...
Is any of the data inappropriately global (e.g. taxonomy, lists of users, roles, etc) ?
Splitting off a multisite sub-site
Hi there,
Is there a simple way to split off a subsite from a multisite installation? I'd like to hand off hosting of a site I created for a friend, but I'm having some issues with peeling it off my D6 multisite.
I figured I could just dump the database, copy the files and hand it over, but there seems to be problems with paths. (Doesn't help that the live URL has to point to my multisite until the standalone is ready.)
I've found a few sorta similar issues on the boards, but haven't been able to find a definitive answer (or at least one I can get to work.)
Thanks,
Kevin
Multisite with multilanguage with subDomain only
I've installed Drupal in multisite
- a main site with URL: www.mainsite.com
- a second site with URL cars.mainsite.com. This site is bilingual (UK, FR) with UK by default.
Do it possible to configure the french language for this second site with url automobile.mainsite.com ? (I don't want fr.cars.mainsite.com or cars.mainsite.com/fr)
Thanks
Read moreDomain access not setting theme.
I am trying to use Domain Access (6.x-2.0-rc9) for ~20 interrelated sites. Each have a custom theme. When I try to set the theme for one site, it changes the themes for the other sites as well. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
Read moreAccess a subsite from the default site's domain name
For a reason I'll bore you with later, it was necessary for me to experiment with displaying the content from a particular Drupal subsite, even though the actual domain name being accessed pointed to the "default" site. When I found a way to do it, it was definitely one of those "oh my God, I can't believe this works" moments. I thought I'd share it with you all in case others can make use of it.. It's not totally performant so you probably shouldn't use it as the "primary" way to access a Drupal subsite, but it should work in a hitch.

UPDATE Network Manager has been released for 5 6 and 7.
I'm releasing a new module soon and wanted to get some feedback on a screencast that I did. It's a project called the Network Manager (http://drupal.org/project/network_manager) and it helps you manage / maintain your sites all from within one site (given permissions set correctly for mysql user).
Here are links to the screencast (Jing forces it to be in 5 minute segments) --

Access Multisite from another computer other them localhost
Hello drupal buddies, i have a simple question that i couldn't find the answer (maybe cause i cannot find the right keywords for search). I'm trying my first multisite installation of drupal, i created a folder tmp.mysite for my site in drupal_root/sites, and the installation completed without erros. Now on localhost i can access both the root site (with a url like http://localhost:port/drupal_root )

I'm developing locally (with my /etc/hosts tweaked to point 3 domains at localhost), which are configured using the Domain module to all use the same code and database (as opposed to a true multi-site).

If I soft link Teachers.com to students.com (the main install) and replace the settings.php with one that points to a different database, is this the same a a multi-site set up? And will it work?
Read moreHow to set the source for primary and secondary links based on subdomain name?
I am using Drupal 6.1 and need to support multiple domains with some shared and some unique content. Domain Access, a fantastic product by agentrickard, has solved most of my issues.
Each site, example.com, one.example.com and two.example.com has its own menu. Placing all 3 menus in a region and using a little PHP to show only the correct menu based on $base_url works fine.

Read moreDoing it backwards: How to move a trilingual, multidomain site from a multisite install to a single site
Best practices on how to move a trilingual, multidomain site from a multisite install to its own install? The site is in three languages and each has its own domain and is on drupal 6.13. I suppose its not truly moving to a single site install, as the two non-default languages will remain in their own sites folders. Can I move the relevant files and swap out my current default for my new default? What, besides file paths, am I going to break?
grazie!
Read moreFile paths when moving a subsite from a subdomain to a subdirectory
Up until now I've always placed subsites in subdomains and this has worked well. But a client now wants to move all subsites from the subdomains to subdirectories -- not just aliases, but actually have the sites live there.
Now, I've seen directions for making this work via symlinking, but I was wondering what this will mean for existing content with relative file paths.
