Hallo,

sorry for my terrible English.

I have more "moodle" virtual domains an my directory structure is:

/var/www/html/main.moodle (directory with moodle installation)
/var/www/html/sub1.moodle.site -> symlink to main.moodle
/var/www/html/sub2.moodle.site -> symlink to main.moodle
/var/www/html/sub3.moodle.site -> symlink to main.moodle

Here is my config.php with cron functionality for multiple sites. 

define('MOODLE_NO_DOMAIN', 'none');
$domain = MOODLE_NO_DOMAIN;

if ( defined('CLI_SCRIPT') && CLI_SCRIPT == true) {
        // CALLED FROM COMMANDLINE - cron.php etc ..
        preg_match('/^(.*\/)*(.*\.moodle\.site)\/.*$/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],$matches);
        if ( count($matches) > 0 ) {
                $domain = $matches[count($matches) - 1];
        }
} else {
        // CALLED FROM BROWSER
        $domain = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}

// HERE AS ABOVE FROM THOMAS VAN DEN HEUVEL

switch ($domain) {
    // configuration for subdomain 1
    case 'sub1.domain.com':
        $CFG->dbname = 'sub1_moodle'; // if your database is called sub1_moodle for this subdomain
        $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://sub1.moodle.site'; // no trailing slash
        $CFG->dataroot = '/path/to/sub1data/'; // depends on where you put your datadir
        break;
    // configuration for subdomain 2
    case 'sub2.domain.com':
        $CFG->dbname = 'sub2_moodle'; // if your database is called sub2_moodle for this subdomain
        $CFG->wwwroot = 'http://sub2.moodle.site'; // no trailing slash
        $CFG->dataroot = '/path/to/sub2data/'; // depends on where you put your datadir
        break;
    // et cetera
    default:
        // ... redirect to info page with moodle links
}

Cron tasks must be called with absolute or relative subdomain path:

php /var/www/html/sub1.moodle.site/admin/cli/cron.php

or

php sub1.moodle.site/admin/cli/cron.php

I call all of the subdomains crons with one very simple script :

#! /bin/bash
WWW_ROOT="/var/www/html"
DIRS="sub1.moodle.site sub2.moodle.site sub3.moodle site"
for dir in $DIRS
do
        echo "$WWW_ROOT/$dir"
        php "$WWW_ROOT/$dir/admin/cli/cron.php"
done

I hope this post was useful.
