Drupal Multisite installation is not working for me

Question

I have two websites sourcecodezone.com and iloveforwards.com

sourcecodezone.com has drupal 7

i want to have iloveforwards also in the same drupal installation.

I have done the following steps so far

1. Created a folder /sites/iloveforwards.com
2. copied default.settings.php to this folder and renamed it to settings.php

also created symbolic link ln -s ~/public_html/ ~/public_html/iloveforwards.com

still no luck. When i tried http://www.iloveforwards.com/install.php

i get this error below

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@iloveforwards.sourcecodezone.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

and i looked at the log and got the info below

[Tue Aug 16 21:37:17 2011] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx] Directory index forbidden by rule: /home/sourceco/public_html/iloveforwards.com/

Am i missing something here?

Answer 1

I did recently a multisite installation but without symlink, try to delete your symbolic links and install your two sites with different prefix database or on different databases
