I finished with my first site and it works great. Unfortunately I tried to create my second site and it will not distinguish between the original and the new (I have 5 licenses and activated for the new site addition as well). I can't find any support in the manual about multi site. Do I need to create a complete separate databse and have a completely separate index.php file? If so, the admin panel does not allow me to pick where to point for files for each domain name.
 
I even tried the add new site function and copy the same global settings and page settings. With no luck at all, I'm at a lost. The time zone difference is killing me as I'm in the U.S. Any input of your experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks

have you ammended the file var_defination.php for the second site
 
Look for
 
 
// session settings
$session_prefix = "viart";
$site_id = 1;
 
and change site id to the site id for the second site
 
you can find the site id's by
 
visiting
 
Administration > Sites

No I didn't do as you have mentioned. I couldn't find anywhere to even indicate the steps.
 
Where is the file you mentioned located? And would I need to create a separate database for the new site or keep everything as is?

The file should be in your "includes" folder in your root directory.

Suggestion:
A step by step guide to multi sites would be an excellent feature to have in your http://communityexpansion.com/

Sounds good chris... I'll add it today.

I second that!!!!

so do I copy all the files that were installed for the first site into the 2nd sites db?
