CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm going to break the problem I mention here:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=10404.0

out into its own thread.

Having upgraded to 3.0.2,  the error is now:

DB_DataObject Error: DB Error: connect failed

My db definitions in the civicrm.settings.php file read:
define( 'CIVICRM_DSN'          , 'mysql://flacorps05:<password redacted>@localhost/flacorps_drp05?new_link=true' )

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_DSN'           , 'mysql://flacorps05:<password redacted>@localhost/flacorps_drp05?new_link=true');

So I'm trying to have civicrm share the Drupal database.

It was cut and pasted from the settings. php file for Drupal.

Thanks!

From settings. php

'mysql://flacorps_drp05:<password redacted>@localhost/flacorps_drp05'

If it's in the login it's got to be a password issue ... but I can't see how because I'm cutting and pasting.

Would a path problem do it? Path has been: /home1/flacorps/public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm/templates

But when I set it to /public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm/templates the Drupal site isn't crashed but I get the following:

    * warning: include_once(CRM/Core/Config.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/flacorps/public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 251.
    * warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'CRM/Core/Config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm:/public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm/packages:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home1/flacorps/public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 251.

Oops! - The path for including CiviCRM code files is not set properly. Most likely there is an error in the civicrm_root setting in your CiviCRM settings file (sites/default/civicrm.settings.php).

» civicrm_root is currently set to: /public_html/leadprompter/debtrevolt/modules/civicrm.

Please review the Drupal Installation Guide and the Trouble-shooting page for assistance. If you still need help installing, you can often find solutions to your issue by searching for the error message in the installation support section of the community forum.

P.S. - Setting it back puts me back to the

DB_DataObject Error: DB Error: connect failed

and leaves me feeling like a dumb noob...

sorry, no idea. your best bet would be to add debug statements here:

packages/DB/DataObject.php, approx line 2255 or so (search for connect failed)

I didnlt know civicrm needed to run its own install routine first.

Problem solved.

I did a clean install of Drupal in a new folder.

Then I made sure to follow directions and put Civicrm not in the usual drupal modules folder, but in a new modules folder I created under sites/all.

This was all in the course of me following directions (for once).

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Drupal+Installation+Guide

Run the Civicrm install routine, don't do it the drupal way. You need to also look into your settings.php file to get the path to the mysql database that drupal is using.

Ya gotta run that install routine just the way your told to do it. Drupal's own module install routines won't cut it. 

I solved the issue by correcting DB "user name" and "name" parameters in civicrm settings files.
