We are trying to change the database settings for a long-standing drupal 6 site, but are having trouble finding the correct settings.php file:
$ cd /var/www/vhosts/mysite
$ find sites/ -name "settings.php*"
sites/default/settings.php.save
sites/default/settings.php.mod2
sites/mobile.mysite.com/settings.php
sites/mysite.com/settings.php
sites/mysite.com/settings.php.pre_handoff_unedited
sites/mysite.com/settings.php~
sites/mysite.com/settings.php.20131022
We renamed the two most likely suspects, but the sites continues to run smoothly:
sites/mobile.mysite.com/settings.php_hold
sites/mysite.com/settings.php_hold
I also looked for a sites.php that might be overriding settings.php, but we don't seem to have one of those either:
$ find sites/ -name "*sites.php*"
$
Which means I can't find a sites.php or settings.php anywhere in the web directory that seems to control drupal.
We have nginx set up to receive http requests and mysite.com requests are forwarded to apache. Could that be relevant? Where else I might look for the drupal config settings?
settings.php
should be in/sites/mysite.com/settings.php
. Did you try clearing caches after editing that file?
