"Drupal already installed" multisite issue...
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 4:00 pm
I'm having problems getting my Drupal multisite to correctly work on the live server and I think it has something to do with the way sub-domains are being handled because it works flawlessly in my WAMP development environment on my laptop. When I uploaded everything, I went to install the initial core and this worked perfectly fine. When I went to install one of the multisites, however, I was surprised to see the following message:
"Drupal already installed
* To start over, you must empty your existing database.
* To install to a different database, edit the appropriate settings.php file in the sites folder.
* To upgrade an existing installation, proceed to the update script.
* View your existing site."
Here is my setup:
I'm using 1 database for a single login across the entire website.
Directories
public_html/drupal/
public_html/drupal/sites/site1/
public_html/drupal/sites/site2/
public_html/drupal/sites/site1/settings.php
public_html/drupal/sites/site2/settings.php
In CPANEL, I've set the following sub-domains to their respective roots:
Domain "http://site1.example.com/" has a root of "public_html/drupal/" with no redirection.
Domain "http://site2.example.com/" has a root of "public_html/drupal/" with no redirection.
I know the database is working because I have the core installed. The only problems I've had pertain to the live server environment. I did nothing with symlinks and have been wondering if this could possibly be the issue, but I have found nothing in terms of documentation on this that matches my situation. Maybe this could be caused by permissions?
This really has me pulling my hair out! Please, someone help me here!
