multi-site

Hi, I'm fairly new to Drupal but learning quickly. I am running a multi-site Drupal install on a VPS that will only house Drupal sites. I am using subdomains for the multi-site functionality, which is working fine, symbolic links and all.

Hello guys,
I'm very glad to see you here.

The problem I came across is: I need to develop a CMS for the admin. The admin has several sites to handle, each site having its own theme. The admin requires a simplified theme when he manages these sites. So I creat a light one and put it into the sites/all/theme/ folder.

But now, the admin says when he 'preview' the node in the 'edit' page, the node and its original theme should be present. In other words, the 'preview' window should take an another theme that different from the current one the admin uses.

I'm a Drupal noob and have fumbled my way through a multi-site installation. All in all, it went pretty well with no major problems that I could not find a solution to - thanks in no small part to a lot of videos and other tutorials out there. Of course, I'm not sure that what I did was exactly correct, but it seems to work. I would appreciate people more knowledgeable than I reviewing the following and giving me their opinions. Also, there is a small problem mentioned at the end that I would like to be able to fix. First, though, allow me to apologize for any typos.

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:

I've been doing more work with multi-site installations recently, both of the traditional and Domain Access kind. I've been thinking it might be worthwhile to hack together a "dashboard" module which could track the status of all sites in a multi-site installation on one page.

I have a multi-site Drupal installation. Each multi-site is a subdomain of example.com (like ms1.example.com, ms2.example.com, etc.)

Now, the homepage (http://example.com) is not run by Drupal, but I want to insert a feed, which consists of a mash-up of several selected feeds of the subsites. And this new feed shall not have the URL of a subsite, but the URL of the homepage (where no Drupal is installed).

Example:

the feeds

• sub1.example.com/new-nodes.rss
• sub2.example.com/feed.rss
• sub3.example.com/blog.rss

I have a multi-site installation like

• example.com/drupal (default)
• site1.example.com
• site2.example.com
• site3.example.com

example.org → site3.example.com

Now, I have an additional domain example.org, which shall be used for site3.example.com. So, when a user enters example.org, he shall be redirected(?) internally(!) to site3.example.com. So, the user shall not see any redirection and he shall not be able to see, that the site is available at site3.example.com, too.

site3.example.com → example.org

Introduction
At the moment, there is a static website at foobar.example.com. I want to use Drupal (multi-site) to build a new site at this domain. But until it is finished, the static website shall stay.

Is it possible?
Can I create a multi-site at foobar2.example.com, build the site, and later rename the folder inside of sites from foobar2.example.com to foobar.example.com and change $base_url inside of the settings.php to the new domain? Anything else?

In my multi-site setup, I want to install only "finished" releases (so: no dev version, no beta, etc.) to /sites/all/modules.

So when I install a dev version to my multi-site /sites/example.com/modules, and this module will get a release later, I want to move it to /sites/all/modules.

Does this work without any problems? Anything to mind?

Would I need to update the module at the multi-site first, before deleting it and re-install it in /sites/all/modules?

Trying to set up multi-site on a Linux box through localhost. I've been through all of the posts here on groups, the "Creating multiple sites" page (but it's for Windows), and every other link that has to do with multi-site in Getting Started. Also searched the mailing list since BOY.

The "Mult domain/vhosts using diff databases" page (node 278) is what I'm looking for. It appears that I've set things up right, but I'm missing that last all-important step...

1. I have drupal installed in /var/www/html/drupal-6.3, using a mysql database named 'aa'.
