We would use the url that the admin uses. That's apparently the one that he expects others to use too. I've been working on the CS installer, and it did it this way. Kieran, did anybody complain about this?
You're right; I'm not sure what I was thinking. Moshe wrote:
this strikes me as getting too smart for our own good. using the host name, or worse, and host name + path, makes the install less portable. it also complicates docs and training because everyone's settings.php will be in a different place by default.
One of the problems is that right now, it's painfully difficult to install a multisite. Because we overwrite settings.php, BUT we require a pristine copy for the installer to work correctly, AND we no longer include sql files for manual installation, it's no longer possible to simply copy sites/default and go. You have to copy it, delete settings.php, download a new copy from drupal.org, copy IT over, THEN run the installer on your new domain. --Jeff
