Seeking good practice advice: multisite in Drupal <p>I'm using multisite to host my client sites.</p> <p>During development stage, I use subdomain to host the staging site, e.g. client1.mydomain.com.<br> And here's how it look under the SITES folder: </p> <pre><code>/sites/client1.mydomain.com </code></pre> <p>When the site is completed and ready to go live, I created another folder for the actual domain, e.g. client1.com. Hence:</p> <pre><code>/sites/client1.com </code></pre> <p>Next, I created symlinks under client1.com for FILES and SETTINGS.PHP that points to the subdomain<br> i.e. </p> <pre><code>/sites/client1.com/settings.php --&gt; /sites/client1.mydomain.com/settings.php /sites/client1.com/files --&gt; /sites/client1.mydomain.com/files </code></pre> <p>Finally, to prevent Google from indexing both the subdomain and actual domain, I created the rule in .htaccess to rewrite client1.mydomain.com to client1.com, therefore, should anyone try to access the subdomain, he will be redirected to the actual domain.</p> <p>This above arrangement works perfectly fine. But I somehow feel there is a better way to achieve the above in much simplified manner. Please feel free to share your views and all advice is much appreciated.</p>
