Hi : I'm completely new to drupal, but have been doing CGI and web development for 17 years, the last 12 on *nix workstations and servers.
Using drupal 7.16 on OS X 10.7
I am viewing a tutorial on creating services at http://drupal.org/node/783460
It is very thorough, but strangely, the tutorial makes no reference to where the services resoure files are to be saved/stored at.
Can anyone please tell me where to save those files? thanks
Asked and answered. According to the forum, the same place as contributed modules: I.E. <root>/sites/all/modules
Or sites/SITE/modules. I do not use sites/all/modules any longer because I have too many multi sites and upgrading would be a nightmare.
Thanks Earnie. Clearly you know much more about this than I do. So am I correct that 'SITE' (upper case) would be an additional web site using the same core drupal resources? cheers
When Drupal services a page from an installation, it goes to 3 places to find the modules/themes/etc for the site.
The first place it looks is in the specific site folder, so that for example, a site with a URL of example.com could have its modules stored in
sites/example.com/modules
If the site is on a sub domain or a different port number, there are rules for how to build up the name, and rules for partial matches.
If there is no directory that matches, then Drupal will default to looking in sites/default/modules
After looking in the site specific folder (or the default) then Drupal goes to sites/all/modules which will have the contributed modules to be used by all sites
Lastly, Drupal goes to /modules to find the core modules.
