 ==== setup on debian ==== ==== setup on debian ====
   * http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/544   * http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/544
 +  * creating the database user: http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install/create-database/mysql
 +
 +=== multisite setup on debian ===
 +
 +the drupal5 package installs drupal in /usr/share/drupal5, with config files in /etc/drupal/5. with a multi-site setup, this is the codebase that will be used by all of the sites. in theory it will be updated by the package-manager.
 +
 +the following is based on http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install/multi-site
 +
 +to make a new site:
 +
 +make a VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/new_site
 +
 +<file>
 +<VirtualHost *>
 +        ServerAdmin admin@example.com
 +        DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal5
 +        ServerName new-site.example.com
 +
 +        <Directory "/"> 
 +               Options FollowSymLinks
 +               AllowOverride None
 +        </Directory>
 +
 +        <Directory "/usr/share/drupal5">
 +               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
 +               AllowOverride None
 +               Order allow,deny
 +               allow from all
 +        </Directory>
 +
 +        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
 +        LogLevel warn
 +        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
 +        ServerSignature Off
 +</VirtualHost>
 +</file>
 +
 +then symlink this VirtualHost from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
 +
 +<code>
 +cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
 +ln -sf ../new-site 001-new-site
 +</code>
 +
 +also you need to make a new site config directory in /etc/drupal/5/sites. the easiest way to do this is to copy the "default" site:
 +
 +<code>
 +cp -r /etc/drupal/5/sites/default /etc/drupal/5/sites/new-site.example.com
 +</code>
 +
 +the name of the directory needs to be the domain under which the site will be accessed.
 +
 +make sure that both the dbconfig.php and settings.php files are writeable by www-data.
 +
 +<code>
 +chown .www-data /etc/drupal/5/sites/dbconfig.php /etc/drupal/5/sites/settings.php
 +chmod g+w /etc/drupal/5/sites/dbconfig.php /etc/drupal/5/sites/settings.php
 +</code>
 +
 +before you have a real domain setup, you can edit your /etc/hosts file on your local machine and add an entry that points the domain at the ip address of the server. eg:
 +
 +<code>
 +78.46.38.135 new-site.example.com
 +</code>
 +
 +//possibly you also need to add this to the server /etc/hosts file???//
 +
 +now if you visit the new-site.example.com, it should run the installation script and set up the database.

 +    * will they be made manually? or based on tags? or... 
 +    * views? 
 +    * and only have them show up on the correct pages 
 +      * block configuration? if the pages have urls that can be selected with a wildcard, then it will be easier.
