There's still some issues with setting a couple of the config vars via this method. You may need to use the $assign_to_config variable in the index.php files. See this forum post for more info

Hi Leevi,

Here's my MSM experience: I've resorted to commenting out site_url and cp_url from the bootstrap file, since in a typical MSM setup, those settings are set immediately within each site's index.php file. If you open up the index.php file and go to line 75, comments for MSM setup ask you to set site_url, site_name, and cp_url there. I keep these set here, and comment them out in bootstrap, and that seems to keep things working smoothly.

Perhaps you could keep the site_name setting in each MSM site's index.php file, and then within bootstrap set the site_url based on the environment + site_name value... But between subdomain vs subfolder vs distinct domain variations, plus the possibility for tens to hundreds of MSM sites, it might just become more hassle than worth.

Cheers
John

@Leevi

I notice you recommend placing your config_bootstrap.php in the html public directory. I was wondering why that would be a more secure solution than adding it above the public html directory in the expressionengine/config directory with the other config.php and database.php file?

Was hoping you could shed some light. Thank you!

@johndwells

I'm working on setting up the boostrap for an MSM system. My setup is managing multiple domains. Where do you keep your bootstrap file?

I'm working with subdomains myself but shouldn't matter:

/ee_system/
/admin_html/ (EE admin access)
/public_html/ (default_site)
/public_html/site_1/
/public_html/site_2/
/public_html/site_3/
bootstrap.php

HTH,
John

I've installed a number of your addons including a htaccess generator. This sounded awesome but when I added it, it gives me the error: The configuration file does not exist.

This is on my local mac using MAMP. Any idea why it wouldn't find the config file?

in your code you say "Place config.php in your site root" what file is this? if it's not the system/config/ config file and it's not the config_bootstrap, could you elaborate on what it is? is it to do with http://expressionengine.com/wiki/EE_2_Config_Overrides/ ? thanks!

@matalin: I've updated the docs:

* Add require(realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../config_bootstrap.php')); to the bottom of system/expressionengine/config/config.php
* Add require(realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../../config_bootstrap.php')); to the bottom of system/expressionengine/config/database.php

which should make the instructions clearer

Just a quick heads up Leevi. I had to change the file upload code to:

'upload_preferences' => array(
    1 => array(                                                                                 // ID of upload destination
        'name'        => 'Staging Image Uploads',                          // Display name in control panel
        'server_path' => '/home/user/example.com/staging/images/uploads/', // Server path to upload directory
        'url'         => 'http://staging.example.com/images/uploads/'      // URL of upload directory
    )
),

Otherwise it killed the script.

I'm wondering something pretty basic. Where do you set the db info for the production db if not in this file? Do you just set it normally through the expression engine install on the production server itself and use this file to identify the dbs for the other environments?

@andyhoman sorted!

@wssrstrm The db info for the production environment are entered near line 123 of the script. It woudn't be very handy if you ended up with configuration data in multiple files.

@leevigraham The NSM_SITE_URL near line 62 ends up WITH a trailing /. All other variables based off of this like theme_folder_url use a / between NSM_SITE_URL and the rest of the variable. Ending up with url.com//themes/. Is this intentional?

@ginkelb I'll update the NSM_SITE_URL now.

I think an important config is missing (excellent bootstrap btw).

http://expressionengine.com/wiki/EE_2_Config_Overrides
[base_url] => http://local.ee2.template/

site_url($uri = '') from ->helper('url') in Config.php as part of CI uses base_url to define paths.

This caught me out when developing a module using site_url() for the 'action' part of a form_declaration. I'm not sure why site_url doesn't use 'site_url' from the config array, maybe it's a hangover from CI and EE uses 'site_url'.

Easy fix, I've included after
'site_url' => NSM_SITE_URL,
'base_url' => NSM_SITE_URL

• Version 1.9

• - Added $config['third_party'] param to ease updating
  

• - Added $config['base_url']
  

• - Moved webmaster_email config into dev environment
  

missing a comma after:

'base_url' => NSM_SITE_URL

@alexroper wish I would've see your comment an hour ago. I was tearing my hair out!

@alexroper Just found out about the comma

@leevigraham EE v2.5.3 adds a couple other hidden config variables for third-party themes:

'path_third_themes' => NSM_BASEPATH . '/content/themes/third_party/',
'url_third_themes' => NSM_SITE_URL . '/themes/third_party/',

@leevigraham Also, the 'third_party' variable should be changed to 'third_party_path':

'third_party_path' => NSM_BASEPATH . '/third_party/',

@alexroper took me a while but I've updated based on your comments

@leevigraham you've got syntax errors now on Line 154 and 177 (double braces)

line 369 should be:

$env_config['upload_preferences'] = array(

@leevigraham Line 7,8 should be:

• require_once instead of require (see line 9)
