Multisite

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

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.

Duplicate Content on 2 domains but different url's

I have 2 D6 sites (primary.tld & subdom.primary.tld) which used to be part of a multisite (2 databases,1 code base) setup but I needed to split it into 2 database with 2 code bases.

Previously the primary site had a menu entry with a link to the subdom site to direct users there but my problem is that now instead of redirecting to the 2nd site my primary site reproduces all its content under the subdom's url and none of the subdom content is accessible.

e.g. primary.tld/aboutus will be called subdom.primary.tld/aboutus even when i never had a url like that on subdom

Multisite + Userdir

hi,
i have a multisite drupal install on the root of my domain. everything works fine.
i installed the usermod plugin for apache2. if i access mydomain.com/~user it works fine
i can install php over there without problem.
BUT...
if i install a fresh drupal install under mydomain/~user everything is then redirected to the root install...
exemple:
i want to access mydomain/~user/node/add
my url in the browser is mydomain/~user/node/add
but what i see is mydomain/node/add
not sure why it does that because if i install a fresh drupal install under a root'S subdir it works fine

Exclude/Export a site from multisite setup

I have a multisite installation with several sites. Each site has its own database.

Now I want to exclude a site out of this multisite setup. It should become a single, standalone Drupal installation.
How is this possible? What do I have to pay attention to?

Sharing the Permissions Table

Creating a multisite environment with some shared tables.

I have the following configured to be shared: users, sessions, role, authmap.

I was considering adding the permission table to the mix, since all sites will be configured the same way from a roles perspective, it seems to make sense. My question is, is this a bad path to go down?

Help with multisite setup

Hi everyone

Ok, so I've been trying to create multisite for a while, and still can't figure out exactly what need to be done. Been reading, viewing quite a lot of sites, and most tells different ways to do it which makes it more confusing.

I began using Drupal 6 Performance tips book, that has an example using localhost. I however need it on my webhost.

This is what I've been doing so far:
1. In my public_html directory I've created a directory names drupal where I've put the core files.
2. I've created a directory under sites (mysite.com) and added the settings.php file.

Issue converting existing site to drupal multi-site install

I have never done a drupal multi-site. I have an EXISTING site that works but is not on drupal. It consists of static files.

It seems that in the drupal multi site set up, I create a sub directory in sites such as mydomain.com. When I navigate there from mydomain.com, the drupal install realizes that I want to use the specified database and renders the site correctly? Is this correct?

However, it seems that I can't do or test this b/c mydomain.com is already in use by a live site. How do I get around this?

Why we chose Multisite over Domain Access

At the risk of self-promotion, I thought I'd share this. In the project I just completed (http://www.thestrong.org), I had to decide whether to use Domain Access or a Multisite installation. I started implementing the Domain Access module, but then changed my mind.

I wrote up the reasons why I abandoned Domain access here.

I'm curious if people agree with my complaints about the Domain Access module, or had a different experience?

Single Sign On

I am wondering if anybody in the group has had a module that they have used that does a single sign-on across multiple domains on multiple servers. Not expecting the hard lifting to be done by others; just a point in the right direction.

Multisite Search module

Hi group, I wanted to make an announcement: The Multisite Search module has lain dormant for a while, but it's just been updated with newer code (that works)!

I administer a 6-site Multisite installation at http://www.thestrong.org. I stumbled upon the Multisite Search module last year, but it was abandoned. I've taken up maintenance, and now version 6.x-2.0 is out there!

How to promote a node in one site only (inside a multi-site Drupal installation)

Hello,

I have a multi-site Drupal installation. It has two sites that share the database. Each site runs on its own sub-domain.

The sites share most of the nodes.

In the homepage of each site I have a slider. I want to promote certain nodes to appear in the slider.

My problem is this: I can't find a way to promote a node in one site but not in the other. Is there a way to do this? To publish a node in both sites but to promote it only in one of them.

thanks!

Agustin

Drupal Multisite with SSO to Moodle

After some research and testing, I failed to find a working up to date solution for Drupal multisite with SSO to Moodle.

We have several subdomains with Drupal and one domain with Moodle. We need to have users from Drupal sites to login to Moodle without login in a second time. Also, there is a need for Moodle to use Drupal users.

Would someone publish information on how to deal with this problem, please? Thanks.

P.S. We have are not going to use LDAP solution. The organization is too small to maintain LDAP server. We just need SSO implemented.

New to Drupal - Multi-site creation question

Hi, I am new to drupal, have it installed and up and running. I am experimenting with creating a Main Site where users can select an option to create their own site. When the user clicks to create a new site I want to then automatically create a new database for the user, create a new folder on the server for the users site, copy a default site to their folder, replace the template with a specific template the users created, setup all the permissions and accounts, and take the user to their actuall site. The site should already be installed and not go through any drupal setup process.

Multisite with Module Settings Synced

We are looking at developing an enterprise Drupal architecture using multisite as the overall hosting solution. We have setup a proof of concept with multisite and it works great. The more complicated step is having some modules that need to be not only available to all sites, but also configured with specific settings when the site is deployed. For example, we will want to have CKEditor available for all sites, but also configured a specific way and be enabled automatically.

Multisite Search

Hello

I'm about to do an installation of multisites, but I will need multisite search. I'll explain what I need:

  • Sites A, B, C
  • Doing a search within the site, should also return results for sites B and C.
  • Making an appointment from within the site B, should be returned results only from sites B and C.
  • Making an appointment within the site C, should be returned results only from site C.

This can be done? Could you guide me?

PS: Sorry for bad English, I am Brazilian and I'm using Google Translate.

Thanks!
