ok, this works, took some experimenting to find out why. Thanks
and yes, your debugging worked first try.
The rest of this post is really more for others looking for resolution of similar issue but here's the reasoning:
It looks like this is a difference between how you layout folders and I do.
Mine are set up so that Drupal IS the root of the website (it runs each whole site and isn't a section off it) like this:
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite1.com\www\
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite2.com\www\
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite_n.com\www\
and are accessed through:
http://www.mysite1.com
http://www.mysite2.com
http://www.mysite_n.com
where your project wizard would set them up like this:
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite.com\www\MySite1
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite.com\www\MySite2
C:\www\vhosts\_dynamic\mysite.com\www\MySite_n
and are accessed through:
http://www.domain1.com/MySite1
http://www.domain1.com/MySite2
http://www.domain1.com/MySite_n
So I do this:
1. Let the wizard set it up the way it wants
2. Move all files from MySite folder to www root
3. Edit MySite.clpprj with WordPad and do a global replace of '\MySite\' with '\'
4. Change Project Properties debug url to:
http://www/mysite.com
5. Run
Works fine.
