Hello,
So here is my problem, I created a multi-site installation of Drupal using a single source tree with 50+ sub-sites using symlinks for each. The problem I have is if I try to create a page alias on a sub-site that is the same as another symlink sub-site directory Drupal will not display the page. Instead Drupal will validate the URL as the first sub-site's home page.
Here is an example
1) I have a default site at:
www.example.com
2) I have two sub-sites
www.example.com/math
www.example.com/arts
If on the math sub-site I attempt to create a page using pathauto like so:
Apache and Drupal will get confused, instead of evaluating "/math/arts" are "/math/" as a symlink and "/arts" is a path alias Apache and Drupal just get confused and ignore anything after "/math/" if the path is also a symlink directory.
I should state that my symlinks all link back to the root of the Drupal installation to make the sub-sites load correctly.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have been researching creating a series fo mod-rewrite conditions and rules.. but still haven't got anywhere.. I really hope I don't have to hack the core to address this issue. If anyone has experienced this before I would happy to hear how you solved the problem.
