Directory layout overview

This gives an overview of how the whole system works at a directory level.
Note that, with the setup above, the URLs indicated below are working with 'zero-configuration' apart from the addition of the domain to your hosts file.

• You don't need to set up a new apache vhost for each site, or mess around with switching directories around or trying to work from a subdirectory, all of which can be troublesome and annoying.
• Every folder under the workspace folder can be an Eclipse project.
• Note that Eclipse needs projects to be on top-level of workspace - we can't have a 'project within a project'.
• We use symlinks (indicated by @->) to link a multisite project directory to the appropriate Drupal sites directory.
• You can create symlinks using ln -s existing_directory alias_directory
