 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: 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> <code>
-cp -r /etc/drupal/5/sites/default /etc/drupal/5/sites/new-site+cp -r /etc/drupal/5/sites/default /etc/drupal/5/sites/new-site.example.com
 </code> </code>
  
-make sure that both the dbconfig.php and settings.php files are writeable by www-user.+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> <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 chmod g+w /etc/drupal/5/sites/dbconfig.php /etc/drupal/5/sites/settings.php
 </code> </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>
 +78.46.38.135 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.
