it`s very simple just copy two files in your magento root. and paste where you want (mysite.com) folder

That files are .htaccess.sample and index.php.sample

rename two files to .htaccess and index.php

open index.php and edit .

$mageFilename = MAGENTO_ROOT . '/app/Mage.php';

to

$mageFilename = '/root/mysite/app/Mage.php';

Edit this two lines

/* Store or website code */
$mageRunCode = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_CODE'] : '';

/* Run store or run website */
$mageRunType = isset($_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['MAGE_RUN_TYPE'] : 'store';

if you set $mageRunType this as 'store' you must set $mageRunCode this as 'store code'

First create website/store/store views structure in Admin/Manage Stores Then for each website server (or if the websites are under the main url like www.test.com/website1) create directory website1 on the server, copy to it .htaccess and index.php file. In the index.php change last line Mage::run('WEBSITE1CODE','website');
