3.0 upgrade with separate databases
October 05, 2009, 02:19:34 pm
I just tested the 3.0 upgrade but it installed civicrm database in my joomla database, and I have them separate. If I start over, can I specify where Civicrm is to perform it's database upgrade?

I just merged the civicrm back into joomla, did the upgrade, then pulled them apart. That worked, but I'd still like to know if there is another way.

unfortunately not. but would be great if you can spend some time and resources to get civicrm to work better with the joomla upgrade process

That's strange I thought...

I have been trying out Civi with Joomla, Standalone and Drupal. I rather liked the idea of having a separate database - so right now I have a set of civicrm tables in my Joomla database and a set of civicrm tables in my Standalone database. The Joomla installation is supposed to be using the Standalone tables, and mostly it is. However...

I enter a new profile in the CiviCRM admin interface and it duly appears in the Standalone tables, specifically civicrm_uf_group. Then I go to create a menu and the profile is not in the drop-down list. In fact the profiles for the drop-down-list are coming from the Joomla tables. I have double checked by changing the spelling of one of the items with phpMySQLAdmin and I have double checked the setting of CIVICRM_DSN in the configuration files. Stumped!
