Civimail User Check : it appears that the proxy URL that you gave is invalid
September 11, 2008, 10:30:08 am
I'm configuring CiviMail with the UAS SMTP service.

It's a Drupal 6.4 multisite install with CiviCRM 2.1 beta4. The CiviCRM codebase is in sites/example.com/modules and civicrm.settings.php is in sites/example.com/

From http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+for+Drupal+-+Configure+Multi-site+Installations

"then you need to create a file named 'settings_location.php' in the top-level directory of your codebase as follows:"

// the following (/home/lobo/public_html/drupal/sites/)
// should be changed to your sites directory
define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/home/lobo/public_html/drupal/sites/' );

I'm not clear whether this should be:
define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/var/www/example/sites/' );
or
define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/var/www/example/sites/example.com/' );

And whether it should go in:
/var/www/example/
or
/var/www/example/sites/example.com/modules/civicrm/

When I try to access the proxy url in a browser I get:
Could not find valid configuration dir, best guess: /var/www/example/sites/example.com/modules/civicrm/../../sites

?

we dont do any testing with multi-site configs, so you might have to step up and help us out a bit here :). I'm assuming u have different civicrm db's for each site

settings_location.php should go in: /var/www/example/sites/example.com/modules/civicrm/

and should contain

define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/var/www/example/sites/' );

basically this is used in /var/www/example/sites/example.com/modules/civicrm/civicrm.config.php and there is code in there that attempts to get the right directory for the civicrm.settings.php file and load it in (line 108 or so)

Yes that worked! Thanks

It was my first guess but I wasn't sure. Change the third reference to "codebase" to "CiviCRM codebase" like the first two and it will be clearer in the instructions here http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+for+Drupal+-+Configure+Multi-site+Installations

   Sharing a Single CiviCRM Codebase Via Symlinks

If your CiviCRM codebase is not located within the modules subdirectory of the root Drupal directory (for example, if there is a link from there to the CiviCRM codebase), then you need to create a file named 'settings_location.php' in the top-level directory of your codebase as follows:

Also this applies even if you're not sharing the codebase  or using symlinks but whenever the CiviCRM codebase is not in root/modules.
Haven't run into any issues with this before the civimail soap setup.

Yikes! The link used above [http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/CiviCRM+for+Drupal+-+Configure+Multi-site+Installations] seems to be dead.

I am having this same problem after upgrading from 3.x to 4.1.x where the cron and Scheduled Jobs system has changed. Perhaps I just missed it but there didn't seem to be any reference to check for this settings_location.php during the upgrade instructions...
