The installer put it under http://myserver/acquia I'd like to move the site to just http://myserver How would i do that? Also, can I create a virtual host pointing at the same site with a different name, like http://anothersite.myserver.com to take advantage of acquia's multisite capabilities? Thanks in advance, Dan

  Re: vhosts with wpi Reply Contact  Hi  Dan I have not tested this but  what you can do to accomplish this during the installation is to  leave the application name   field blank when installing with WebPi. As far as moving the current site you could  do either of the following ( again not tested) a)  Change path of the Root of the website  to point to the location where this is currently installed ( i.e c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Acquia-drupal) . In  IIS 6.0 this under site Properties > Home Directory > Local Path. In IIS 7.0  this is under Advanced Settings > Physical Path. B) Assuming you are under a default path c:\Inetpub\wwwroot  for your default website you could backup the current content in this folder then copy everything under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\acquia-drupal to this directory. For the second question  from an IIS perspective,   I think you mean create another website with host header (http://anothersite.myserver.com) and point that to the current physical directory where Acquia is installed  or a copy of the current  installation files in another  folder, but I am not sure if that achieves what you want.  I did some checking on the Drupal site and I did see  a mention of multiple sites so it may only be available via their installer.  You can contact Acquia-Drupal's support forums here and they should be able to answer  this. http://acquia.com/forum Hth Richard

As far as the multisite, it's a simple matter of just pointing a different domain name at the same site. In Drupal if you have multisites configured, it's smart enough to serve the right site based on the url.
