Answers.Text: Yes, currently the settings file is located at /sites/default and the module is located at /sites/all/modules/civicrm which is why it concerns me that this error is even popping up.

Body: <p>I'm relatively new to CiviCRM so this might sound like a question with an obvious answer.</p>
  
  <p>I have set up my cron for my drupal CiviCRM site with easycron.com and have found that it always reports back the same error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not load the settings file at: /home/content/06/10588406/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/../../../default/civicrm.settings.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I have gone through and verified that I have followed the instructions (I even created a new site with absolutely no purpose other than to test this issue with civicrm) and it come up with this error too. All of the requirements are met, permissions checked, everything...</p>
  
  <p>So what can I do to change this? Is there anything I can hardcode into the civicrm config file? Or does anyone know where I might find the directory that it's currently looking in to paste a copy of the civicrm settings file (currently located in /sites/default) into it?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>

Comments.Text: I'm using the drupal cron for CiviCrm too. It's a drupal module: (https://www.drupal.org/project/civicrm_cron). It works like a charm. Maybe this fits your needs as well, if max. one cron per hour is enough?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-16)
  
  I'm relatively new to CiviCRM so this might sound like a question with an obvious answer.
  
  I have set up my cron for my drupal CiviCRM site with easycron.com and have found that it always reports back the same error:
  
  ```
  Could not load the settings file at: /home/content/06/10588406/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/../../../default/civicrm.settings.php
  
  ```
  
  Now, I have gone through and verified that I have followed the instructions (I even created a new site with absolutely no purpose other than to test this issue with civicrm) and it come up with this error too. All of the requirements are met, permissions checked, everything...
  
  So what can I do to change this? Is there anything I can hardcode into the civicrm config file? Or does anyone know where I might find the directory that it's currently looking in to paste a copy of the civicrm settings file (currently located in /sites/default) into it?
  
  Thank you!

  the path suggests a problem which i can't suggest the fix for, but if it helps I would expect to have the civicrm module at
  
  /sites/all/modules/civicrm
  
  which it looks like you have but the settings file would be at
  
  /sites/default
  
  not at
  
  sites/all/modules/civicrm/../../../default/civicrm.settings.php
