MSM Server Path Problems after upgrade to EE3

Question

I am in the process of upgrading an MSM configuration from EE 2.11.x to 3.5.7 and have run into the following error on the MSM site:

Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. Please open the following file and correct this: index.php

Before the upgrade the path I was using to reference the system folder was this:

/home/sitename/public_html/system/

That has not changed but now I get the error message.

Any guidance on how to resolve this?

Answer 1

Turns out in this case that it was server settings that were preventing the communication between sites. It required:

• Mod_ruid was disabled
• suPHP enabled
• FileProtect in Home »Server Configuration »Tweak Settings turned off
