+=== multisite setup on debian ===
+the drupal5 package installs drupal in /usr/share/drupal5, with config files in /etc/drupal/5. with a multi-site setup, this is the codebase that will be used by all of the sites. in theory it will be updated by the package-manager.
+the following is based on http://drupal.org/getting-started/5/install/multi-site
+to make a new site:
+make a VirtualHost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/new_site
+<file>
+<VirtualHost *>
+        ServerAdmin admin@example.com
+        DocumentRoot /usr/share/drupal5
+        ServerName new-site.example.com
+        <Directory "/">
+               Options FollowSymLinks
+               AllowOverride None
+        </Directory>
+        <Directory "/usr/share/drupal5">
+               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
+               AllowOverride None
+               Order allow,deny
+               allow from all
+        </Directory>
+        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
+        LogLevel warn
+        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
+        ServerSignature Off
+</VirtualHost>
+</file>
+then symlink this VirtualHost from /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
+<code>
+cd /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
+ln -sf ../new-site 001-new-site
+</code>
+also you need to make a new site config directory in /etc/drupal/5/sites. the easiest way to do this is to copy the "default" site:
+<code>
+cp -r /etc/drupal/5/sites/default /etc/drupal/5/sites/new-site.example.com
+</code>
+the name of the directory needs to be the domain under which the site will be accessed.
+make sure that both the dbconfig.php and settings.php files are writeable by www-data.
+<code>
+chown .www-data /etc/drupal/5/sites/dbconfig.php /etc/drupal/5/sites/settings.php
+chmod g+w /etc/drupal/5/sites/dbconfig.php /etc/drupal/5/sites/settings.php
+</code>
+before you have a real domain setup, you can edit your /etc/hosts file on your local machine and add an entry that points the domain at the ip address of the server. eg:
+<code>
+.46.38.135 new-site.example.com
+</code>
+//possibly you also need to add this to the server /etc/hosts file???//
+now if you visit the new-site.example.com, it should run the installation script and set up the database.
