+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-user.
+<code>
+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>
+now if you visit the new-site.example.com, it should run the installation script and set up the database.
