Question: How can I setup MSM on MediaTemple’s GridServer?

Answer: When you have an account on MediaTemple’s GridServer, all domains are set up to be on the same level. So in order to have ExpressionEngine “see” the control panel of your initial site, you’ll need to use a full path to the system directory.

Example:

The path.php for your initial site would have the following line:

$system_path = "./system/";

or whatever you renamed your system directory to.

In your second site, you’d need something like this:

$system_path = "/home/1234/domains/maindomain.com/html/system/";

where 1234 is your MediaTemple account number and maindomain.com is your initial site.

Also add the following line to each path.php file:

$cp_url = 'http://www.sitename.com/admin.php';

This code will set the path to your control panel URL. You’ll need to have a copy of admin.php in the same directory as your path.php for each site.

The admin.php file is found in the /system/utilities folder.

Additional Lines in the Path.php File When setting up your additional sites, don’t forget to add:

$site_name

I also fill out the values for the rest of the values in path.php
