CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

The civicrm installation instructions say to put the civicrm directory/files in:

/var/www/drupal

however, in ubuntu Feisty, the drupal package does not create /var/www/drupal, though http://localhost/drupal does work.

I tried to relocate the civicrm directory to:

/usr/share/drupal-5.1/modules/

but then the ./install/index.php did not work. I followed a link and then created the directory:

./sites/all/modules/

But then I got other error messages from the automated install.

Is an ubuntu/drupal installation script available?

Thank you for your reply.

Your suggestion to extract civicrm to the drupal module directory is what I tried first- I extracted to the drupal module directory and then I created ./sites/all/modules and linked the civicrm directory to there as well. I next attempted to run from a browser, the install script, named civicrm.install.php, either through the linked directory or through the actual directory and got the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /usr/share/drupal-5.1/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.install.php on line 100

The relevant section of code from civicrm.install.php is:


function civicrm_setup( ) {
    global $comPath, $frontPath, $crmPath, $sqlPath, $tplPath, $dsn, $absolute_path;
    global $resourceBase;

                      $crmPath . PATH_SEPARATOR .

    $frontPath = $absolute_path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
        'sites'             . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR .
        'default' ;

    $scratchDir   = $absolute_path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'files' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm';
    if ( ! is_dir( $scratchDir ) ) {
        mkdir( $scratchDir, 0777 );
    }

    $compileDir        = $scratchDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'templates_c' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    if ( ! is_dir( $compileDir ) ) {
        mkdir( $compileDir, 0777 );
    }
    $compileDir = addslashes( $compileDir );

    $uploadDir         = $scratchDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'upload' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    if ( ! is_dir( $uploadDir ) ) {
        mkdir( $uploadDir, 0777 );
    }
       mkdir( $uploadDir, 0777 );
    }
    $uploadDir = addslashes( $uploadDir );

    $imageUploadDir = $scratchDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'persist' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

    }
    $imageUploadDir = addslashes( $imageUploadDir );

    $customFileUploadDir = $scratchDir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'persist' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'custom' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    if ( ! is_dir( $customFileUploadDir ) ) {
        mkdir( $customFileUploadDir, 0777 );
    }
    $customFileUploadDir = addslashes( $customFileUploadDir );

    $dsn = $db_url;
    $dsn = $dsn.'?new_link=true';

}


Somehow, the install script is not able to determine the proper directory structure and is crapping out.  At this point, I'm stuck.

there is no civicrm.install.php in the distribution. There is a civicrm.install.sample which is obsolete and should not be used (i just deleted it from the repository). The new installer is in drupal/install/index.php

1. can u extract and install it in sites/all/modules rather than modules. Please so not use the sym link for now. yes i know this is strange, but please try it out

2. Can u check if /usr/share/drupal-5.1/CHANGELOG.txt file exists and readable the web server. Is it is present can u do a search for "Drupal 5.1" in that file (using either less or grep)

thanx
