default.settings.php

Drupal site-specific configuration file.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This file may have been set to read-only by the Drupal installation program. If you make changes to this file, be sure to protect it again after making your modifications. Failure to remove write permissions to this file is a security risk.

The configuration file to be loaded is based upon the rules below.

The configuration directory will be discovered by stripping the website's hostname from left to right and pathname from right to left. The first configuration file found will be used and any others will be ignored. If no other configuration file is found then the default configuration file at 'sites/default' will be used.

For example, for a fictitious site installed at http://www.drupal.org/mysite/test/, the 'settings.php' is searched in the following directories:

1. sites/www.drupal.org.mysite.test 2. sites/drupal.org.mysite.test 3. sites/org.mysite.test

4. sites/www.drupal.org.mysite 5. sites/drupal.org.mysite 6. sites/org.mysite

7. sites/www.drupal.org 8. sites/drupal.org 9. sites/org

10. sites/default

If you are installing on a non-standard port number, prefix the hostname with that number. For example, http://www.drupal.org:8080/mysite/test/ could be loaded from sites/8080.www.drupal.org.mysite.test/.
