Comments on Multisite CVS Drupal Installation on Ubuntu

Hi

Thanks for the How-to:

I had a problem at the Drupal database configuration.  wwwdb(haven't tried www2db yet) did not have access granted.  I went through my previous commands to see if I misstyped anything and can't find a fault.  I had to grant rights via phpadmin.  

 Anyone else?

 Otherwise - she's up and running!!

Thanks 

Thanks for your comments . You might've made a typo, but it could be an error in my explanation; did you do the flush privileges command?

Basically, you want to give the wwwuser all rights to the wwwdb database, hence the grant all statement. Also, we shouldn't really be doing a grant all as that gives the wwwuser too many permissions, but the permissions recommended in the drupal install doco are too tight and give errors, and I haven't had time to work out the correct combo - anyone know what they should be?

Sonia. 

I had to use:

grant all on wwwdb.* to 'wwwuser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';

I have been thinking how to adapt something like this to fit ISPConfig.
I have a hobby site that allready has several sub categories for different hobbies and I'm starting to get in to trouble keeping them all straight with ISPConfig. I'm currently using Joomla because it's broad user base and support. All the different sub categories should be fairly autonomous with their own admins.

I doubt I'll get around to rewriting this for ISPConfig - I tend to do most stuff by hand - easier to troubleshoot in the longterm.

Accessing the page www.example.com (last step)throws an 500 internal server exception.The /var/log/apache2/error.log file says " Option indexes not allowed here in .htaccess ".Anyone knows how to handle that ?

Got it !

1. Option indexes to be used under <Directory/></Directory> tags.

2. Make sure to run www.example.com/install.php the first time you access your site otherwise you'll get a ugly "table.access doesn't exist..." 

 Thx for the how-to Sonia

This looks really like a neat way to do this, but i couldn't get it to work..Is there a command line to uninstall all this stuff? there has to be an easier way

This is the prefect tutorial.  I found it to be very clear and it totally worked.  I always wondered what the best way to deal with Apache, directory structure, etc. to make Drupal multisite work.  I was able to use this information and configure my Dreamhost account for a multisite Drupal install.  I didn't have to modify the apache config directly.  I went through Dreamhost's control panel to achieve the same functionality.

Thanks!
