Nope, it’ll work fine - I have many non-Drupal subsites in my Drupal install. The biggest gotcha will be ensuring that your mod_rewrite rules (in .htaccess) are working properly - if they’re not, then Drupal will try to take over ALL URLs (whether they exist on the filesystem or not). You can test that pretty easily by just creating dummy/whee.html and making sure you can access it right now, without Drupal interfering. -- Morbus Iff ( morbus == grumblestiltskin ) http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.disobey.com/wiki/ twitter: @morbusiff / skype: morbusiff / irc.freenode.net, Morbus An O'Reilly author and blogger: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779
