  1. 4 includes/bootstrap.inc \conf_path()
  2. 5 includes/bootstrap.inc \conf_path()
  3. 7 includes/bootstrap.inc \conf_path()

Find the appropriate configuration directory.

Try finding a matching configuration directory by stripping the website's hostname from left to right and pathname from right to left. The first configuration file found will be used; the remaining will ignored. If no configuration file is found, return a default value '$confdir/default'.

Example for a fictitious site installed at http://www.drupal.org:8080/mysite/test/ the 'settings.php' is searched in the following directories:

1. $confdir/8080.www.drupal.org.mysite.test 2. $confdir/www.drupal.org.mysite.test 3. $confdir/drupal.org.mysite.test 4. $confdir/org.mysite.test

5. $confdir/8080.www.drupal.org.mysite 6. $confdir/www.drupal.org.mysite 7. $confdir/drupal.org.mysite 8. $confdir/org.mysite

9. $confdir/8080.www.drupal.org 10. $confdir/www.drupal.org 11. $confdir/drupal.org 12. $confdir/org

13. $confdir/default

Parameters

$require_settings: Only configuration directories with an existing settings.php file will be recognized. Defaults to TRUE. During initial installation, this is set to FALSE so that Drupal can detect a matching directory, then create a new settings.php file in it.

reset: Force a full search for matching directories even if one had been found previously.

Return value

The path of the matching directory.
