I was running a server just fine running drupal 5.0. Then the need for a test site came in so I attempted to do their multi site set up. In the end I ended up with a backup of my mysql database and that's it.
I tried on my own but I keep screwing things up. So now I'm starting from scratch, and running up the white flag.
I've installed xamp at E:\server\xampp which is accessible via localhost.
I have set the passwords via xampps security thingy and all.
Now what I want to do is have two folders in htdocs. One being "test" and the other being "live".
The project I'm currently working on is a community site for people from sheffield, england. I have domains with dyndns.
The live url is sheffielduncensored.ath.cx and the test one is devsheffuncen.ath.cx
I want to be able to pop the urls in and get the pages without trouble.
Just to explain, on my last attempt somehow xampp was asking for a password for giving me a permissions error in the browser. I have no idea how I managed that.
So could someone help me out? I would -really- appreciate it at this point. Banging one's head on the wall can only be so fun for so long.
I'm basically trying to do this ( http://drupal.org/node/32715 ) which I have been struggling with for nearly 2 days.
