    Just a quick question… Is anyone running MSM on the GS for Media Temple. I am still a little confused as to how the MSM works on a server like the GS. I understand they have to be on the same server… but I am still a little confused about what it “actually” needs for MSM to run properly.

    They way GS is set up for multiple domains is as follows:

    Domain One (Primary)
    user/domains/domain1.com/cgi-bin
    user/domains/domain1.com/html

    Domain Two (Secondary)
    user/domains/domain2.com/cgi-bin
    user/domains/domain2.com/html

    My main concern is to buy the MSM and then it does not work.

    BTW - I AM still a noob. I am waiting for 2.0 to come out and I am going to dive head first into the EE realm. I will be moving 7 clients to EE when I understand it a little bit better.

    I have the MSM running on a GS.

    <?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "/home/1234/domains/example.com/html/system/";

$cp_url = 'http://www.example2.com/admin.php';
// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$site_name = "example2";
$template_group = "recipes";
$template = "index";
$site_url = "http://www.example2.com";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

    The key is the path to your primary GS site.

    1234 would be your GS site id.

    Does that help at all?

    Thats helps, I have EE without MSM installed on the GS right now. I am not buying MSM until EE 2.0 is released… or if someone tells me I will still need to buy MSM even for 2.0. Are there any plans about including that or is MSM going to change?

    I am having some issues with the second domain. I can access index.php on the second domain but I cannot access admin/index.php on the second domain. Here is my path.php:

    <?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "/home/0000/domains/domainone.com/html/admin/";

$cp_url = 'http://www.domaintwo.org/admin/index.php';

// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$site_name = "domain_two";
$template_group = "about";
$template = "index";
$site_url = "http://www.domaintwo.org";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

    I am not sure what I am doing wrong, any pointers?

    See this line?

    $cp_url = 'http://www.domaintwo.org/admin/index.php';

    It should be:

    $cp_url = 'http://www.domaintwo.org/admin.php';

    You need to have a copy of admin.php which is normally found in your /system/utilities directory.

    Make sense?

    Is there a way to place it in the http://www.domaintwo.org/admin/ directory or is it dependent upon the path.php file?
