Let me start by saying that you guys rock. I've successfully installed Mercury three times and am confident enough to move on. . . but the glitch is that I'm having trouble installing a second site on my Mercury 1.1 server.
So my question is: you can have only one site on a mercury server?
if not, how do you configure multiple sites (easily)
In the short-run I'm looking mostly to set up dev and staging so I'm not to keen on learning how to install aegir, and in the long run I'm going to set up multiple sites but i'd rather not have to learn to set up aegir to do that . . .

Multisites are easy -- just
Multisites are easy -- just point the DNS A record of each domain to your Mercury server's IP and add folders named like the domain names, each containing appropriate settings.php, in your sites folder.
As for adding another, even non-Drupal site, you need to play with Apache's VirtualHost settings. This seems to be a good resource: https://www-loadbal1.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=35390&sid=ccf0961...

Not multi-sites
Thanks for the info, I'll check out the link in a sec, but I'm not talking about multi-sites, I'm talking about having multiple instances of Drupal running, say if you want a D6 site and a D7 site . . .
