Victor, The multi-site extension will get you close ([GitHub - radiant/radiant-multi-site-extension: An extension for Radiant CMS that lets you serve multiple sites (domains) from a single instance.](http://github.com/radiant/radiant-multi-site-extension/tree/master)). You will still need to define the [Kids.westervillelibrary.org](http://Kids.westervillelibrary.org) domain outside of radiant (mongrel config, http.conf etc) but you can use the extension to map a new site in the admin interface to that domain.

It’s just an educated guess, maybe someone else with in depth apache knowledge can help you by point the precise solution out.

Hello, A follow up question on the multisite extension. I am trying to install the extension from [GitHub - radiant/radiant-multi-site-extension: An extension for Radiant CMS that lets you serve multiple sites (domains) from a single instance.](http://github.com/radiant/radiant-multi-site-extension/tree/master) and getting the following error message when running the migrations: \*\* Invoke production (first\_time) \*\* Execute production \*\* Invoke environment (first\_time) \*\* Execute environment Could not load extension from file: multi\_site\_extension. #\ \*\* Invoke db:migrate:extensions (first\_time) \*\* Invoke environment \*\* Execute db:migrate:extensions Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Victor ---

It’s quite likely that the directory is supposed to called multisite rather than multi\_site (which is what it sounds like you named it). See this for help in naming directories: [http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-extensions#naming](http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-extensions#naming) Cheers, Mohit. 6/7/2009 | 3:24 PM. ---

Hi Mohit, Sorry about the delay on replying to your email. The issue had to do with versioning. Sean, thanks for the hint. I went ahead and checked out tag 0.6.9 and was able to install and run the migrations. So, I have the extension installed and I am about to start the set up. Is there any details I should be aware of? Is there a sample file (virtual host) I can look at. We’re using Nginx as our webserver. Thanks for the help, Victor ---

Josh and the guys at Digital Pulp have started updating multi\_site to work with 0.8-RC1. You will likely need to install an older version of the extension for it to work. Sean
