Configuration file for multi-site support and directory aliasing feature.
This file is required for multi-site support and also allows you to define a set of aliases that map host names, ports, and path names to configuration directories in the sites directory. These aliases are loaded prior to scanning for directories, and they are exempt from the normal discovery rules. See default.settings.php to view how Drupal discovers the configuration directory when no alias is found.
Aliases are useful on development servers, where the domain name may not be the same as the domain of the live server. Since Drupal stores file paths in the database (files, system table, etc.) this will ensure the paths are correct when the site is deployed to a live server.
To activate this feature, copy and rename it such that its path plus filename is 'sites/sites.php'.
Aliases are defined in an associative array named $sites. The array is written in the format: '<port>.<domain>.<path>' => 'directory'. As an example, to map https://www.drupal.org:8080/my-site/test to the configuration directory sites/example.com, the array should be defined as:
$sites = [
'8080.www.drupal.org.my-site.test' => 'example.com',
];
The URL, https://www.drupal.org:8080/my-site/test/, could be a symbolic link or an Apache Alias directive that points to the Drupal root containing index.php. An alias could also be created for a subdomain. See the online Drupal installation guide for more information on setting up domains, subdomains, and subdirectories.
The following examples look for a site configuration in sites/example.com:
URL:
http:
//dev.drupal.org
$sites['dev.drupal.org'] = 'example.com';
URL:
http:
//localhost/example
$sites['localhost.example'] = 'example.com';
URL:
http:
//localhost:8080/example
$sites['8080.localhost.example'] = 'example.com';
URL:
https:
//www.drupal.org:8080/my-site/test/
$sites['8080.www.drupal.org.my-site.test'] = 'example.com';
