The Setup:
using drupal 6.15 (downloaded from drupal.org) on debian lenny in a virtual machine
running myphpadmin and mysql and apache2
im doing this at/for local access at a community college; so i control the vm/os and i can manage the dns records
i followed this for the install:

usually id use aptitude but it has an older version of drupal and i wanted to be certain that i knew where everything was going and was up-to-date.
ive been using these links to try and figure out how to set things up

/etc/apache2/ports.conf has my virtual hosts setup and going to the main site/subsites works fine
i have the A record for the host set to drupal.school.edu
I have CNAMEs set for site1.drupalmu.school.edu site2...etc
directory structure:
/var/www/drupal
/var/www/drupal/sites
/var/www/drupal/sites/drupalmu.school.edu/
/var/www/drupal/sites/site1.drupalmu/ (site2, etc)
i have the root mysql user, and an administrator user with full privileges
i have databases named: drupalmu, site1, site2, (etc...)
the *only* diff between settings.php in each site/subsite folder is the line:
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/$dbname'
