@ path Administer CiviCRM » Global Settings » Settings - Update Directory Path and URL

I am seeing an "Old Site Name" / "New Site Name" value which I do not recall in earlier versions. (We started out @ Civi 2.0.x)

Its value is a directory which does not exist in our installation. It is set to: /sites/domain.org/

Both our Drupal and CiviCRM config files live happily in /sites/default/

I could not find mention of this value in the standard installation docs.

Could we get some clarification as to what exactly this variable does? How it should be configured for a non-multi-site installation?

If necessary I will gladly update the documentation.

Also, just thought of it, Base URL is setting itself to: https://domain.org/

When I try backing out the "s" in https and save, it pops right back in again.

I do have a rule set in Drupal mod Secure Pages to "civicrm*" so maybe Civi is getting the hint that it is going to be using that protocol.

I have:
$base_url = 'http://domain.org';  // NO trailing slash!
set in /sites/default/settings.php

We are trying to track down an "access denied" after a CC charge goes through successfully. We are seeing forum posts that such is related to not being consistent in the URL for the site. EVERYWHERE we have this site configured to the non-www URL, and the SSL cert is also for that domain name.

We are grasping at straws, trying to make sure all I's are dotted, all T's crossed. Thus these questions. TIA!

Odd, I recall replying to your post Lobo. So I will try to repost my prior post and the followup I came just now to do.

Unfortunately the "Site Name" value seems intertwined with the "Base Directory" value.

If I set "Site Name" to "/sites/default/" and save, when I revisit the page to double check the settings for correctness:

Old Base Directory    /srv/www/sites/default/www/files/
New Base Directory    /srv/www/sites/domain.org/www/files/

Old Site Name    /sites/default/
New Site Name    /sites/domain.org/

And it wants to put "Site Name" right back to what it started out as.

Looking through the code, lead me to CRM/Core/BAO/Setting.php in search of getBestGuessSettings( )

That does not appear to be Non-Multi-Site friendly as-is in v3.3.3. Specifically:

$siteName = "/sites/$siteName/";
And no check if Drupal is running in Non-Multi-Site mode with /default/

I am going to attempt to come up with a diff that makes Non-Multi-Site work properly, and I suppose manually apply the diff until someone running Civi with Drupal in Multi-Site mode is able to make the diff support both very well. Once I get that diff, I will attach the diff to a JIRA ticket and report the ticket number in this thread.

Possibly does there need to be a radio button for Non-Multi-Site vs Multi-Site?
