Hello Could you please clear something up for me?

Can you please explain what I need to copy into a new site directory when using Expression Engine with the Multi Site Manager and Forum Module?

I know that you need to copy the existing sites path.php and index.php files into your new site directory.

I am trying to setup a main EE site and a few sites that use sub-domains of the main site.

http://www.mysite.com
site1.mysite.com
site2.mysite.com
etc

sub-domain site1 and site2 need to be able to access the system directory of the main EE installation.  My question is more to do with image paths, CSS, forums etc

Having looked at Code Ignitor, Ellis Labs and Expression Engine I notice that they have their own image directories.

Code Ignitor

ElisLab

Expression Engine

Therefore do i need to copy the follwing into every directory:

CSS - (If setting up CSS as described in Ryan Irelan’s Screencast Tutorials - He just uploads the CSS folder).
themes
images

I would like each site to have its own images

i.e

http://www.mysite.com/images/logo.gif
site1.mysite.com/images/logo.gif
site2.mysite.com/images/logo.gif

What is the way others have setup MSM?  I have read the MSM documentation and watched the screencast but the only files that are mentioned are path.php and index.php

Thanks for your help

Yes, you can have your own theme, images and css folder per site.  You really only need to copy the themes folder if you are doing a wiki or forum theme.

Many thanks Greg

Glad Greg cleared this up for you. Feel free to post again if you have any more questions.
