I have a simple question.
I am trying to create a folder inside the Drupal installation that will not be shared to all the multi-sites.
For example:
www.mydomain.com/xxx
www.anotherdomain.com/xxx
I need this two folders of xxx should go to different path.
How can I achieve that?
I tried to create a new folder in Drupal root folder, but like this all the domains familiar with the same contents.
Thanks for the help.
To extend @Pierre.Vriens answer , you could then add a rewrite rule to make the urls a bit nicer
assumptions
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /sites/%{HTTP_HOST}/files/$1 [L]
in your host will take
http://www.example.com/filename.pdf
and rewrite it to
http://www.example.com/sites/www.example.com/files/filename.pdf
what do i mean by url normalisation ? well, if you can get example.com - then you'll get a 404 - as the folder in the sites directory is www.example.com
an easy solution is to use symlinks in the sites directory, or to use 301 redirects
to use symlinks, assume you have
sites/www.example.com
you could then create a symlink to it as follows
ln -s www.example.com example.com
this would create a symbolic link from
sites/example.com
to the www.example.com folder. this means that both www.example.com, and example.com would be found when the rewrite rule runs
Do not create such folder in the Drupal root folder. But instead create an xxx subfolder in both of these subdirs:
sites/mydomain (assuming mydomain is what maps to your www.mydomain.com).sites/anotherdomain (assuming anotherdomain is what maps to your www.anotherdomain.com).By doing so, the 2 folders sites/mydomain/xxx and sites/anotherdomain/xxx for sure will not be shared between those 2 sites within a multi-site construction.
