INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
|
| 2 |
====================
|
| 3 |
0. INSTALL THE MODULE
|
| 4 |
*Put multisite_manager directory in your modules directory--most likely
|
| 5 |
you will just put it in the master site's modules directory.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
*For those running versions less than Drupal 5.7
|
| 8 |
----------------------------------------
|
| 9 |
If you will be configuring multisite_manager to create new
|
| 10 |
databases (rather than just alter table prefixes) you will need to
|
| 11 |
update your core drupal files with the latest patch in this bug
|
| 12 |
report:
|
| 13 |
http://drupal.org/node/168315
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Assuming you will make all new sites available at /site/{shortname}/
|
| 16 |
1. PUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN YOUR APACHE CONFIG:
|
| 17 |
<VirtualHost *:80>
|
| 18 |
AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/(.*) /var/www/drupal/$1
|
| 19 |
DocumentRoot /var/www/drupal/
|
| 20 |
</VirtualHost>
|
| 21 |
WARNING:CLEAN URLS demand a much more complicated setup with a bunch of rewrite rules.
|
| 22 |
See the Appendix in this file for details
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2. PUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN YOUR ./sites/default/settings.php
|
| 25 |
or better at ./sites/www.example.com.site/settings.php
|
| 26 |
----CODE BEGIN-----
|
| 27 |
$requri = explode('/', request_uri());
|
| 28 |
if (sizeof($requri) >1 && $requri[1]=='site' && $requri[2] != '') {
|
| 29 |
$my_site_base = $requri[2];
|
| 30 |
#this will be the database shared between the main site and the shared sites
|
| 31 |
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/database';
|
| 32 |
$db_prefix = $my_site_base."_";
|
| 33 |
$base_url = "http://www.example.com/site/$my_site_base"; // NO trailing slash!
|
| 34 |
}
|
| 35 |
----CODE END-------
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
3. Any modules required for profile selections must be installed on
|
| 38 |
BOTH the main site's modules directory AND the subsidiary site module
|
| 39 |
directory (a symlink will do just fine);
|
| 40 |
the former in order to install, the latter in order to run.
|
| 41 |

How to get CLEAN URLS working with apache and multisite setup:
|
| 45 |
It's gross! I told you so!!!!!
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
<VirtualHost *:80>

# Welcome to the Ugliest Rewrite Rules Evar(tm)!
|
| 50 |
# Here's the jist:
|
| 51 |
# 1. AliasMatch will set the file context without passing a different URL to Drupal
|
| 52 |
# Therefore index.php must be matched outside of Rewrite rules
|
| 53 |
# 2. Rewrite is used ONLY to forward URLs of the form /xxx -> index.php?q=/xxx
|
| 54 |
#
|
| 55 |
# If we took Rewrite rules outside of the Location contexts so its in per-server
|
| 56 |
# processing, we might be able to simplify this. We would need option 'PT' for
|
| 57 |
# passthrough and then some AliasMatch record AFTER the rewrite rules.
|
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
# If you figure it out, then go for it. Otherwise, what ain't broken...
|
| 60 |
AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/(\w+).php /var/www/drupal/$1.php
|
| 61 |
AliasMatch ^/site/\w+/(modules|misc|files|themes|sites)/(.*)$ /var/www/drupal/$1/$2
|

ALTERNATE for HTACCESS File
|
| 81 |
=========
|
| 82 |
This is an in-development configuration that works through only rewrites in a
|
| 83 |
local .htaccess file
|
| 84 |
1. create a symlink called 'site' to drupal's home directory, like this:
|
| 85 |
% cd /var/www/drupal
|
| 86 |
% ln -s . site
|
| 87 |
2. Add the following to the top of the .htaccess file in the drupal directory
|
| 88 |
RewriteEngine on
|
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
#file access
|
| 91 |
RewriteRule ^\w+/(modules|misc|files|themes|sites)(.*)$ ./$1$2 [L]
|
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
RewriteRule ^/(modules|misc|files|themes|sites)(.*)$ ./$1$2 [L]
|
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
#special php scripts
|
| 96 |
RewriteRule ^\w+/(update.php|install.php|index.php)(.*)$ ./$1$2 [L,QSA]
|
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
#site sub-section
|
| 99 |
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^/var/www/drupal/site/.*
|
| 100 |
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
|
| 101 |
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
|
| 102 |
RewriteRule ^\w+(/)?(.*)$ index.php?q=$2 [L,QSA]
|
| 103 |
|
| 104 |
