Multisite

Hi!

Due to hosting costs, I'd like to try having all of my clients three sites fitted in on database. How would I do this?
1. Through prefixing the tables?
Can I specify which tables belongs to which sites in one single database? I'd like to share the user and roles tables though.
Is this the way to achieve it?

Any insights on this would be appreciated! I'm a multisite first-timer, so I'm a bit lost in the worklflow for this..

Thanks!

Howdy,

I'm still mostly a fledgling to Drupal, but I have a question that The Community might be able to help out with.

I'm setting up a multi-site Drupal installation to handle 72 divisional websites. The master-site has all the proper content, proper configurations, proper links/menus/blocks etc etc, and the other 72 are going to start off with an exact replica of that master site. That is, if i can figure out how to duplicate the master site over and over.

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?

I recently moved my one topic site to another domain. The domain is more general and allows me to write about more things instead of being pigeon holed into one topic.

So I moved my old site from http://www.oldsite.com to http://topic.newsite.com.

What I would like to do is allow each subdomain to be about one topic while the top domain would be a portal to show everything from all domains. Basically I want the subdomain extensions to not access anything from another subdomain but let all the content from the subdomains to "bleed" into the portal.

hi,

me and some other guys are just busy getting some fresh air to our departmental website, and so far drupal works perfectly! :)

now, our goal is to provide users with the possibilty to make use of the existing drupal installation.

I have two seperate sites (subdomains) which are on two differrent installation of drupal. They share the user and session table so the user can seamlessly move around the sites with single signon. The new registration is possible only on one site. Both sites are on drupal 5.14. The sites are not "multisite" is strict drupals sense since these are different instances(code base + database) of drupal. In fact I configured this way as I was aware of the likely senario below.

Hey guys,

I am very new to drupal and I have been attempting to get a multisite setup on my wamp localhost working without success.

I have tried a multisite with separate databases and I tried uing Domain Access - no success.

Perhaps the multisite trial IS a little successful - I managed to get a subsite responding but the page comes up completely blank so nothing happens.

I have the following in my host file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 mainsite
127.0.0.1 www.subsite.local

And in httpd.conf:

DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www

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?

Hi folks:

Trying to get this multisite going. I copied the settings.php but I am not sure how to actually install the second site. Am I supposed to also copy over the install.php file into that subdirectory? I tried opening the settings.php, but I just get a blank page. I next tried copying over the intall.php into the new sub-directory, changed the permissions on the server, and then trying to run it yields an error:

Hi folks:

Has anyone successfully setup Drupal multisite with WHM where each drupal site is a separate WHM account?

I am working on a project that requires this setup so that each drupal site can have their own email addresses etc so the normal multisite setup with domain parking is not suitable. I was planning to overwrite the virtual hosts that whm creates and change the doc root to the shared code base. Each drupal site would have it's own separate database in it's cpanel account.

Hi All

After a few days of trying to get a multisite install configured, I finally made it but another problem surfaced.

The two other sites I created all seem to work fine after they installed, except that whenever I click on the administer link in the navigation block, they both navigate to the default drupal site therefore I get logged out / wind up administering / editing /configuring the wrong website.

Hey there fellow Drupaleros,

I'm seeking peer review of my video about my CVS/SVN workflow regarding deployment for a multisite setup. I'd learned about vendor branching and svn:externals a few months ago and finally got around to setting up a system I was happy with.

What I'm wondering is if I could do anything better or how other people are doing similar things, but slightly different.

All feedback is welcome, leave comments on the site or email me via gdo.

Drupal version 5.x

I have created two sites sharing one database so that user data is shared. At first, I was unable to create content on either site so I was instructed to run the following commands:

update shared_sequences set name = concat('site1_',name) where name not like 'site2_%';

update shared_sequences set id = id + 100;

Hi! Is there any possible to share tables from different databases which have different usernames and passwords (these databases)?

i got a problem:

lets say i want to have a you tube like video site , i want to have 10 drupals so ill be able to make "moviecms.com" and "celebcms.com" ,all of them are in the same core, and i just want them to look diffrent and shows diffrent movies and ads ...
i dont mind even to get one admin and not giving users access or just disable the whole user feature and update the content trough a php script that ill do

i looked up alot here and didnt find the right solution and if i did its not worked because so many users are comments what the diffrent method so i got mad

I need help.
I want to redirect all my sites to the URL version without the www. prefix.

Please, could someone post his .htaccess?

I search since 22 days for a solution (here, here, here and here) - it hurts me, because I got time, I want to start playing with Drupal, but can't, until I know it will work :(

Hi everyone!

I have a nice question. Imagine that u have a multi-multi-multi-site (hmm 40 - 80? yeah...) sites on drupal multi.... and you've done some change in one-two modules. You will be entering every page to reload modules?

My question: Is there any possible to automate this? For example from yours main drupal multi-site get update modules (reload) on all sites? Or mayby it is possible with cron?

Help...this will very very helpfull...

Hello Drupalworld!

Would it make sense to use the multisite setup to keep administration modules out of the production site?

I am thinking of having mysite.com and admin.mysite.com with a shared codebase and database, but added modules for administration for admin.mysite.com.

Will that reduce the load on the production site? How could I measure this on a shared host?

What do I have to watch out for? Any further recommendations?

Kind regards,

Frank

I have simplenews and mime mail running on several websites and want to send newsletters via cron in the early morning hours.

I've done a search of drupal.org on the subject of cron and am not having success on finding the correct cron command for the "crontab -e" file.

Here's what I've got:

*/30 1,2,3,4,5,6 * * 0-5 php /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/www/drupal/cron.php

This does not work on single-site install or multi-site install.
