Drupal : Hosting Drupal for Multiple Users

Installation

It's a CVS & Linux & MySQL thing. Harder than Radio in some ways, easier in others (if you are experienced). Average install time is now less than 5 minutes. No I didn't leave off a 0. 5 minutes. I've done it a few times so allow yourself 20 minutes or so.

Changing the Default URL I Used

(If you aren't a *nix user then ignore this section and move onto the next since your admin will have done it for you already)

I installed this drupal site into:

http://www.blogsig.com/joefriend/drupal/

I then went into the Drupal directory and moved all the *.php files up one directory so his url is now:

http://www.blogsig.com/joefriend/

And I used ln -s to make symbolic links to each of the directories below the drupal directory. This means I don't have to modify the source at all.
