Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/23467 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: file system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: killes@www.drop.org Reported by: killes@www.drop.org Updated by: Dries Status: patch The fact that the different files-directories are potentially shared in a multi-site setup probably needs to be documented in the form description. I suggest you update the form descriptions too so the user understands why we are suggesting to store files in that particular directory. I guess it would be even better to _force_ files to be stored in the proper sub-directory of the sites-directory. I see two problems with that though: legacy code will stop working, and URLs to static files become longer/uglier. It does get us a step closer to the proposed separating of 'system files' and 'local files'. Thoughts?

This is a problrem if you should later decide to setup more than one site from the same source code. The attached page changes the default to be /sites/default/files (defautl is replaced by the site url if the default directory is renamed).
