v7 v8 7 7 Drupal has a method for running more than one web site using the same core Drupal source. It's called "[http://drupal.org/node/43816 multi-site]". Using multi-site, you can place as many directories in your Drupal sites directory as you want, each one named after the domain name of the separate site you want to create. 8 8 9 We do not use this approach for tworeasons:9 We do not use this approach for several reasons: 10 10 11 11 * It means everyone has to use the same DocumentRoot - you cannot, for example, add your own `robots.txt` file or decide you want to customize your `.htaccess` file 12 * It does not work with suexec - a security mechanism that restricts the permissions of your Drupal installation to just your account. When using multi-site, a vulnerability in one site can be used to do damage to another site on the same server. 13 14 In short, the multi-site approach is both restrictive and insecure. 12 * It prevents you from running your own multi-site installation. 13 * It forces you to run Drupal rather than providing you with a web directory to do with what you please (symlink to Drupal or run anything else) 15 14 16 15 == How does the MF/PL approach work? ==
