drupal - Multiple sites in the same directory but separate database -


in linux based shared hosting account hostgator, going dozen of sites. there files count limitation cpanel backups in account.

to reduce total number of files need suggestion continue add new bunch of sites using drupal-6.

i don't want share same database keep maintenance simple. know drupal allows multiple sites in same db. want avoid it.

can reuse same drupal files in old site , use them create symbolic link new site? except root/sites directory because may contain temporary files or files used/uploaded specific each site.

so if drupal 6 site site1.com there can reuse files new site site2.com creating symbolic links in site2.com pointing sit1.com except sites directory:

site2.com/includes->site1.com/includes

site2.com/modules-> site1.com/modules

site2.com/sites ( not shared)

site2.com/misc -> site1.com/misc

....

i've gone through related thread: combining databases in drupal don't want go per suggestions in it.

any suggestions idea?

what want drupal's multisite feature. intended work separate database , uploaded files shared code across sites. point document root each virtualhost @ same drupal installation , drupal takes care of loading correct database.
