How to create drupal 8 multisite in localhost

Drupal has a multisite feature which means, you can run multiple sites with the single code base, but all the sites can have different databases, different configuration & files.

For multisite installation on drupal 8, I am going to configure the three sites with single code base

  • atdrupaldev.com
  • btdrupaldev.localhost
  • ithdrupaldev.localhost

 Now the question is how to configure it, Let me explain each & every step. Follow the below steps,

Step 1: Download the latest Drupal code and put it in your working directory,  for supposing I put the code in var/www/at-drupal-8

Step 2: Create the three databases from php myadmin or any GUI,

Step 3: Now open the sites directory and copy the default folder & paste it three times and give names as the site name above,
i.e
default = atdrupaldev.com
default = btdrupaldev.localhost
default = ithdrupaldev.localhost

So your folder structure would be like below,



Step 4: Now provide the database configuration for each directories settings.php ,  open the directory atdrupaldev.com and copy the default.settings.php to settings.php and provide the database connection configuration

Repeat this step for remaining two subsites too btdrupaldev.localhost & ithdrupaldev.localhost .
and provide the database name different for all the three sites.

 Step 5: Now open the sites directory and sites.php file ( /var/www/html/at-drupal-v8/sites/sites.php )
at the bottom of the page put the site's array to define the hosts,


$sites['atdrupaldev.intoday.in'] = 'atdrupaldev.intoday.in';
$sites['ithdrupaldev.intoday.in'] = 'ithdrupaldev.intoday.in';
$sites['btdrupaldev.intoday.in'] = 'btdrupaldev.intoday.in';


Step 6: Now define your hosts to apache hosts file, open the etc/hosts files.
cd etc/hosts
sudo gedit hosts

And define hosts here like below,

127.0.0.1       atdrupaldev.com
127.0.0.1       btdrupaldev.localhost
127.0.0.1       ithdrupaldev.localhost

After an update, it save the file.

Step 7: Now  define the virtual hosts in etc/apache2/sites-available /000-default.conf file like below

define virtual hosts
update and save the file.

Step 8: Now restart the apache2 by below command.

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 9: Now visit all the three sites and install Drupal as usual.
visit atdrupaldev.com, btdrupaldev.localhost, ithdrupaldev.localhost

Multisite configuration is ready to use. Enjoy !
if there is any issue to setup , Please comment below

Dependency Injection in Drupal 8

Here are the important nuggets: DI is a design pattern used in programming. DI uses composition. DI achieves inversion of control. Dependency == service that your class needs == object of a certain type. Inject == provide == compose == assemble. Container == service container == dependency container. Instead of using  \Drupal::service('foo_service') , get the service from the  $container  if using a class. And the important reasons: Externalizing dependencies makes code easier to test. It allows dependencies to be replaced without interfering with other functionality. Retrieving dependencies from the container is better for performance. Services: node.grant_storage The easiest examples to find are services that have arguments, because you can search *.services.yml files for the word "arguments". In  node.services.yml  for example, there is this entry: node.grant_storage: class: Drupal\node\NodeGrantDatabaseStorage argument...
