drupal 7 Configuration file location

Question

I am relocating Drupal 7 website from Pantheon to new hosting and need to configure Domain Access module. But I find some troubles. Domain Access module gives me the error message:

Domain module installation is incomplete. See INSTALL.txt and check your settings.php file.

Domain access failed to load during phase: bootstrap include. Please check your settings.php file and site configuration.

So I put the string

include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/domain/settings.inc';

to my /sites/default/settings.php file. But it didn't do any effect. I tried different paths but got no result. After I've found that my settings.php file have default database settings - not the ones that I've written when installing Drupal site. So I have deleted setting.php and reinitialize Drupal site from web-browser */install.php. After it I've found newly created /sites/default/settings.php with wrong(default data) DB. And $drupal_hash_salt = ''; But site is working correct. Additionally, I've changed Permissions to 777 and went to /admin/reports/status and found the row

Configuration file - Protected

It's very strange. Can you help me solve this problem and find my Configuration file real location?

Usually Pantheon have different hosting structure from the conventional hosting/self-hosting solutions, first I would check the location of the contrib modules, sometime they are included in sub-directory called contrib, so once the system attempts to load

include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/domain/settings.inc';

it will not find it, try to have it like the following might help:

include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/contrib/domain/settings.inc';

First step is to check if Domain module was enabled and get its path on linux :

$ drush pmi --fields=type,project,title,status,path --format=table|sort

Other way :

$ drush pm-list | grep domain

If your module was installed by drush , its path can be sites/all/modules/contrib/domain/settings.inc so you have to modify include path like :

include DRUPAL_ROOT . '/sites/all/modules/contrib/domain/settings.inc';
