I've created an account at Hostgator to learn Drupal. I've installed it and the main site is working.
I want to install a subdomain, and am following the directions at http://drupal.org/documentation/install/multi-site. But my url sub.main.com is going to my main site.
- I've created a new db and set permissions,
- I created a new folder: sites/sub.main.com and put a copy of settings.php there
- modified settings.php with the new db prefix (not in the instructions, but seemed logical)
- at Hostgator, created a subdomain 'sub' and pointed it to 'home/royhink/www'
So, are the Apache configuration files required? I have an 'etc' folder in my root, but it is empty. Do I need to create /etc/httpd/httpd.conf to get this to work?
