I am new to drupal and multisites and have a multisite that wont work. I have a base site that is drupal and is running great. Love drupal. That site is www.example.com. I want to create a subdomain called rosy.example.com. I followed the instructions on drupal.org/node/547860 . Let me give details of what I have and what I have done.
I am running a XAMPP install on a windows server 03 box.
I have the first drupal site for www.example.com installed to xampp/htdocs
I created a folder inside the xampp/htdocs/sites folder called rosy.example.com . Other folders in the sites folder is all, default, rosy.example.com
I copied the settings.php file and added the following lines
$db_url = 'mysqli://root@localhost/rosy' ;
base URL
$base_url = 'http://rosy.example.com' ; //NO trailing slash!
I edited the hosts file to include 127.0.0.1 rosy.example.com and added 127.0.0.1 example.com
I edited the httpd.conf and made sure vhosts was active
Then edited httpd-vhosts.conf to include the following lines.
NameVirtualHost *:80
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/
ServerName rosy
DocumentRoot C:/xampp/htdocs/
ServerName localhost
I have added an entry for default but it shuts down my site. The data base exists. I can access it on the local box but cannot get to it outside of that box Can anyone help?
