Upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 on Joomla 1.5

[bsebire]

I have just attempted the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 on Joomla 1.5.5. The install went OK but when I run the db upgrade I get the following error:-

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "CRM/error.tpl" in /hermes/web01/b1213/pow.bsebire/htdocs/joomla15/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1092

Have changed permissions on all Smarty directories and file to 777 without success

Cheers

Make sure the file administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/error.tpl exists and the permission on this file (or its parent directories) is not too strict.

I get the 'same' error. Updating on  Drupal 6.3 (Win XP) with not-working CiviCRM2.0 (because 2.0 is not working with Drupal 6).

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "CRM/error.tpl" in C:\wamp\www\drupal\sites\all\modules\civicrm\packages\Smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1092

There is no file : CRM/error.tpl

We have tested the upgrades for both drupal (5.x -> 6.3) and joomla (1.0.x -> 1.5.5) without any errors/problems.

If the file - administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/error.tpl is not present, you will need do a re-install since the file didn't get uploaded (and there could be more such files).

Also make sure tarball is not corrupted and has that file. If not download a new one.

actually we've moved files around and CRM/error.tpl is no longer part of the codebase.

You might want to delete the media/civicrm/templates_c directory in joomla and try again. Note that the 2.0 -> 2.1 upgrade on joomla 1.5.x is a combination that we have not tried. So u'll need to help us debug and document this better

We were able to replicate this problem and has been fixed - http://fisheye.civicrm.org/browse/CiviCRM/trunk/CRM/Upgrade/TwoOne/Form/Step4.php?r1=16504&r2=16617.

Do I just download the latest file and re-install ? The file on source forge is about 8 days old ?

Remove any existing com_civicrm directory trees (under components and administrator/components), download the Alpha 2 zip file (dated Aug 13) and reinstall... (and big thanks for participating in the 2.1 testing !!)

Hi guys, have just loaded the Alpha 3 release and the Smarty error is back. Any clues ??
Cheers

I guess the error poped-up prior/during the upgrade process i.e not after completing the upgrade process ?

For now a quick fix for you would be -  create a file civicrm/templates/CRM/error.tpl which is a copy of civicrm/templates/CRM/common/fatal.tpl
( assuming you encountered this error - Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "CRM/error.tpl" )

Deepak, thanks for the info. Works fine except for the fact that my host doesnt allow InnoDb at this stage, so I am unable to complete the db upgrade. I will attempt to re-educate them !

Is there any way around the InnoDb situation ?

Is there any way around the InnoDb situation ?

no. InnoDB is essential to run a CRM and ensure DB integrity

I appreciate the reason why. Looks like its 'new host' time.

Deepak, will the same fix work for Drupal as well?
