Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/19934 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/19934 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: base system Category: bug reports Priority: normal Assigned to: chx Reported by: bwooster47 Updated by: Morbus Iff Status: patch (ready to be committed) The patch looks confusing because the context is missing - the added block goes right beneath a bunch of existing examples of configuration paths, as well as an explanation. Morbus Iff Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 03 Apr 2005 23:07:58 +0000 : bwooster47 The latest Drupal from CVS (4.6.0) offers multisite configuration files, but currently the conf_init function in includes/bootstrap.inc will also include the :portnum URL specification in the directory name, which does not seem right (and the colon character may cause problems on Mac/Windows). Snippet from bootstrap.inc: * Example for a fictitious site installed at * http://www.drupal.org/mysite/test/ the 'settings.php' is * searched in the following directories: ..... If the site is: http://www.drupal.org:8080/mysite/test/ the same list of directories should be searched as listed in the example in the file, and the :8080 should not be added to the directory name (I think...) I don't know enough PHP to submit a patch, but this is probably easy for those who know this stuff :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 08 Apr 2005 07:08:53 +0000 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/conf_init_ports.patch (768 bytes) Here you are. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 08 Apr 2005 11:16:52 +0000 : Dries Won't commit. Removing the port seems like a bad idea (I could have two drupal sites at two different ports but otherwise identical URLs) and adding regex' all over the map isn't advised. If ":" is an invalid character, then there might be more such characters. I suggest we replace them with '.' and that we document this behavior much like we do with $db_url. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 11 Apr 2005 23:25:51 +0000 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/conf_init_ports_0.patch (1.35 KB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 19 Apr 2005 17:03:46 +0000 : bwooster47 Regarding update #3 - does this mean the code has made it in, and will be available in the next release? Secondly: I follow the logic for the update, and it makes sense for non-standard HTTP port numbers, but not sure if the logic is valid when port 80 is used. For example, http://yourdomain.com/ and http://yourdomain.com:80/ both will go to the exact same page, but looks like the search for the conf.php will be different. Not sure if this matters... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 01:23:28 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org patch still applies, my testsite kept working (is not on a non-standard port, though). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon, 01 Aug 2005 05:31:56 +0000 : Dries I think the PHPdoc is confusing. The second example URL is non-existing/invalid. Did you meant showing a configuration file? I agree with bwooster that this gets tricky with the default port '80'. Do we need to discuss this some more? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 06 Aug 2005 07:20:03 +0000 : Boris Mann I like the period (".") character as the delimiter for ports. If people really do tack on :80, then site admins can symlink domain.com.80 to domain.com (much as you would need to symlink www.domain.com to domain.com as well). I think this is largely a documentation issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 19 Aug 2005 01:27:39 +0000 : Morbus Iff Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/_ports.patch (2.25 KB) +1. This patch is absolutely required for my home development, which is behind an ISP that doesn't like webservers on port 80. I've attached a new patch that fixes the doc mistake from the last patch, as well as adds a note to the INSTALL.txt too. I'm with Boris on the :80 issue - if a developer is using it knowingly, he should be smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 19 Aug 2005 01:32:10 +0000 : Morbus Iff Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/_ports_0.patch (2.25 KB) Grr. Parens in the wrong place. Right patch attached. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sun, 28 Aug 2005 00:16:46 +0000 : Uwe Hermann Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/ports.patch (2.14 KB) Patch didn't apply anymore. Updated. I didn't test it, but +1 for the idea. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:30:59 +0000 : Morbus Iff Confirmed the updated patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tue, 13 Sep 2005 18:27:14 +0000 : Dries The added documentation -- and the example in particular -- is confusing. At least to me. What do you mean with 'loaded from [some-weird-directory-path-that-I-don't-understand]'?
