I post this on the drupal website at http://drupal.org/node/91684

I have posted a couple of requests for support on the following threads:

...but can't seem to get any answers. perhaps my requests are buried deep in the thread. so i decide to create a new thread to seek help.

what i am trying to achieve

i would like to setup more than one drupal site using a single code base. each site would have different settings / databases. i do not want to have subdomains (although this could be a later requirement) or parked domains (as suggested by fidelis on http://drupal.org/node/62255#comment-126409). my response: i intend to set up various community interest sites with a single domain as being the traffic aggregator, so the additional domains is not an option.

A colleague of mine recently asked me the question why I go about building the various websites that I do. What I expect, and have any of my expectations materialised?

A good question.

My view is simple: I have a number of interests, objectives and thoughts on various subjects. Sadly, I have very little time to further expand on those interests, objectives and thoughts (as an individual). However, I fully believe that as a community each individuals has the ability to "help each other" on these matters. The gain I seek for many of these are not monetary but of information, personal learning and development.

You may be wondering what is all the odd and disjointed components on this website are all about. Certainly it is not intentional the way it currently looks right now. I am experimenting with some techniques on improving the navigation on this website.

One of the techniques is javascript + CSS pulldown menus that you see on the left hand side NavMenu bar. I am taking a few tips from suckerfish and a from css.maxdesign. I'm also visiting the CSS creator forums for discussions and tips. I would like to create a menu which opens up as you hover over selected items. I hope this will improve the usability of the site.

For now, the CSS is all screwed up. So bear with me. I would also suggest that you use Firefox for the best & standards compliant experience.

I had a late supper with my brother Fahmy and we talked a little bit about learning php & mysql.

I am glad that I now have a fellow amateur php learner to share experiences. As a first step you need to get yourself aquainted to Hotscripts.com which is a great resource website for free and commercial web scripts, applications and tools.

The next thing is to set up a personal webserver which is able to run php & mysql. I searched on hotscripts and found phpdev which provides all the webserver solutions in one bundled install package. This means it comes bundled with an Apache webserver, the mySQL server and the PHP intepreter.

Hello visitor. Thank you for your interest in my website. Feel free to share interests in topics with me. To do this, please register first (free). I aim to build a few online communities through the kwim.net. Most topics are discussed here, although I tend to be interested in cars, BMW, F1, motor-racing, karting, sci-fi, computer games, internet technology, website building, blogging, babes, and general fun stuff. This site is meant to be lighthearted anyway. Just ask that you exercise a healthy amount of respect for others.
