I am trying to create a multi-site using Set up a multisite, but I do not understand the reason for step 1.2.
Why should a Drupal copy be extracted in the web directory?
There doesn't seem to be anything written about this.

That refers to installing Drupal in the ordinary way. Using the recommended install process to the directory referred to as “base-site”, which could have any name you want, there will be a subdirectory named “web” that you will reference in the virtual host configuration.

Hello, thank you for your reply. Above that point it already says Drupalshould be downloaded and installed. I was thinking that on point 1.2. it says to install it again in the 'web' directory of the main installation folder. I am already pretty familiar with the drupal structure and there's a directory called web and I thought it refers to that one. So I should not install Drupal again in '/var/www/base-site/web/here' , right? Aug 4 at 12:10

You install Drupal only once. There is only one instance of the Drupal codebase needed.– cilefenAug 4 at 12:14

@cossinner Truly, Overview of the process is a summary of how to set up a multi-site; the details are then given point-by-point in the next sections. That documentation page does not say Drupal must be installed twice.– apaderno ♦Aug 4 at 12:42
/var/www/html/web. But it doesn't have to be. Wherever nginx/apache will look for your site will be referred to as the "web directory"
