CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm a noob to Civicrm, so if anyone has suggestions, please enlighten me.

I'm running a multi-site Drupal installation that uses virtual servers having SuExec'ed users with Drupal as the document root for each. I also Alias the Drupal directory as /drupal, since I've had other Drupal modules that, for some reason I've not had time to delve into, work more reliably configured this way. It works, I leave it alone... Site access is without the alias, i.e., http://subdomain.mysite.org/.

Using the automated install, I encountered the following: The civicrm.settings.php that was created had the CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL using the Apache Alias. This caused pathing problems which I could not resolve without changing the document root and only using the alias to access Drupal.

Civicrm now works, but IMHO, this is inelegant. This site is accessed as http://civcrm.mysite.org/junky_alias/. The document root index just redirects to the alias, so no changes to users.

Trivial, I know, but I'm a nitnoid and value consistency.
