The Basics of Multisiting

Managing multiple sites can be a pain. Sure! Tools like Drush have made it a lot easier, but running the same Drush command over and over can be tedious and cumbersome. Let's face it, we'd rather be doing something else with our time. Enter Multisites! Since the early days of Drupal, multisite has eased the pain of having to maintain and manage multiple sites. This presentation will cover the basics of multisite installations, which include installing sites, configuring virtual host files, configuring databases, sharing database tables, and updating multisite installations with Drush.
