how to name the folders for multisite in drupal locally?

Question

i am creating multisite in drupal 6 in my local xampp server,could anyone help me to name the subfolders?

Answer 1

Have a look at the MultiSite HowTo's at Drupal. There is a massive collection for many different versions and environments. There is also a link to "Multi-Sites Using XAMPP on Windows XP" (can be used for any win versin)

Answer 2

You should name the sites folders the same as you would in production.

example.com
example2.com
....

Then make entries in your hosts file on your computer.

notepad C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 localtest.example.com
127.0.0.1 localtest.example2.com

Then you can build the sites locally using the names localtest.example.com and when you move the site to a production server it will work exactly the same with www.example.com
