Installation Help

I have a question, I just installed this and I added the whole conf line to my settings/php file under sites/default since sites/all didn't have anything in it until I added a modules folder.

So im wondering is something wrong with this?

$conf['chatroom_module_dir'] = '/sites/all/modules';
and is it fine being under this block of code?

ini_set('arg_separator.output',     '&');
ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime',     0);
ini_set('magic_quotes_sybase',      0);
ini_set('session.cache_expire',     200000);
ini_set('session.cache_limiter',    'none');
ini_set('session.cookie_lifetime',  2000000);
ini_set('session.gc_maxlifetime',   200000);
ini_set('session.save_handler',     'user');
ini_set('session.use_cookies',      1);
ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid',    0);
ini_set('url_rewriter.tags',        '');
