On the Windows side if I want to duplicate a "template" Drupal configuration I have set up, all I have to do is:

 

Dump the database to a backup file.

Create new database and restore the template backup to it.

Duplicate my template website (ie D:\Sites\Template to D:\Sites\NewDomain.com).

Load up IIS and create a new site pointing to  NewDomain.com to D:\Sites\NewDomain.com.

Load D:\Sites\NewDomain.com\sites\default\settings.php and edit the $db_url line.

 

Easy peasy.

 

What is the process to do the same in TKL Drupal VM?

 

To test things out, I loaded up and configured the default Drupal site with a generic "First Test Site" name.

 

Then I downloaded the contents of /share/drupal6 to a temp folder my desktop

and /etc/drupal/6/sites to the temp folder my desktop

 

I created /var/www/domain1.com and copied the contents of my temp folder into it

 

In Webmin, Servers, Apache Web server, I created a new virtual host.  I selected /var/www/domain1.com as the document root, domain1.com as the server name, and Copy directives from changed to Automatic:80 /usr/share/drupal6/

 

Then in the virtual server I selected Domain1.com and 'Networking and Addresses" and added www.domain1.com as an Alternate virtual server name.

 

I applied the changes, and also Stopped and Started Apache.

 

Loaded up PHPMyAdmin, Exported the drupal6 database.

Created 'Domain1' database

Imported drupal6 backup into it.

 

Edited /var/www/domain1.com/sites/default/settings.php and dbconfig.php to use the root acct/password to access the domain1 database 

 

I'm able to view the default page on Domain1.com, but after attempting to log in it tries to go to http://www.domain1.com/node?destination=node and I get a Not Found error.  If I go to the IP address, the default site bombs out with the same error.  Basically, Drupal stops working.

 

I suspect it's because I haven't copied some files to a proper location, but I don't know where to start.  Any ideas?
