How do I add a site to a multi-site

Question

I am trying to convert my installation to a Drupal multi-site.

I have the original site (www.original.com) with a settings.php file under the sites/default folder. I want to add a new site by adding the following files.

• sites/original2.com/sites.php
• sites/original2.com/settings.php

I can access both URLs, but they use the default.settings.php file.

I have not changed anything in NginX as both URLs are resolved from Drupal on my docker instances.

Answer 1

You have the sites.php file in the wrong spot, it should be at sites/sites.php, it should not be inside any of the site directories, such as sites/original2.com/sites.php.
