I've just had the exact same thing. Take a look at rows 32 - 34 of your civicrm_setting table in the database. I bet that your paths there are messed up. On mine, instead of a path like /var/www/example.com/sites/default/civicrm/upload I was seeing http://example.com/varhttp://example.com/wwwhttp://example.com/example.comhttp://example.com/siteshttp://example.com/defaulthttp://example.com/civicrmhttp://example.com/uploadhttp://example.com/

I manually edited the three rows. But this wasn't enough. Ended up having to re-set Config_Backend

UPDATE civicrm_domain SET config_backend = null;

Thank you, Upperholme - spot on.

Exact same experience; in my case, I ended up dropping the database and imported the SQL dump I had made beforehand. Back to normal.

I note that in the restored DB, the values for rows 32-34 are quite different; as I recall, the messed-up data was something like s:329:"[full repeated multiple paths concatenated as per your example]" whereas in the restored data the prefixes are s:7, s:19 and s:7 and the paths are relative. (When I tried to edit the DB directly, I used the absolute paths - I doubt it would have worked anyway.)

Have you been working with multi-site, or is this just a standard install? In my case, I'd say this is related to experimentation I was doing trying to get multi-site to work with Domain Access.

In any event, thanks for the tip and for the prompt response! I hope it serves to shed some light on the issue... good stuff!

This is all super-useful - I think.

See thread here http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,24657.0.html if you haven't already as to progress on DA.
