CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I recently installed (manually) civicrm version 1.8.beta.10790 Drupal PHP5

When using the file import function, on the upload data (step 1 of 4) page, after specifying the file and clicking on the continue button, a blank page is displayed, with the error message:

Error: missing ; before statement
Source File: http://www.afsl.org.uk/new/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/lang/calendar-lang.php
Line: 1, Column: 2
Source Code:
A file permissions error has occurred. Please check the permissions on the script and the directory it is in and try again.

I have tried various combinations of permissions on the lang folder and on the calendar-lang.php file (Eg 777 and 777, 777 and 555, 777 and 644, 755 and 644, 555 and 644 etc.) but still get the same error.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions lobo.  I haven't tried upgrading to the latest version yet.  Re the others:

2. Most other parts of CiviCRM seem to be working OK, but there are some errors, all of which so far produce the same error message as the one I have described.  I have been able to create contacts and edit them, but in some circumstances I get the error Eg after searching for a contact and clicking the edit link on their record.  What is actually displayed on the screen varies - sometimes the screen is totally blank, at other times it does display part of a form.  I also get the error message when attempting to send a mailing using CiviMail - after clicking on the "next" button at the foot of the upload message (step 2 of 5) page, a blank page is produced.

I suspect that this error is occurring at various points in using CiviCRM, but the effects differ depending on the context.

In addition to the error message there are various warning messages, Eg:

3. The permissions on the upload directories are all currently set at 755 - is this OK?  Copies of the csv files I was uploading as part of the import process are there and appear to have the correct contents.

4. Web server - I'm not sure what information you want (I have very little knowledge of how servers operate).  I can supply a (long) list of Perl and PHP5 modules that are installed on the server.  Would this be useful?  The server runs on Redhat Enterprise Linux

Thanks

The error log is as follows:

I can't see anything here ... does it suggest anything to you?

Sorry about that.  Here's the error log:

Looks like the program is short on memory - I had this problem previously and thought my ISP had sorted it out.  I will contact my ISP again about this.

What can I do about the first error message?

Thanks

I have increased the memory limit in the php.ini file to as much as 256M, but still have the same problem, and the apache error log appears to indicate that the memory is exhausted at a level of about 32-33M.

I have edited the civicrm.settings.php file in sites/default/ folder to echo $memLimit to the screen, and it displays 268435456 (ie 256M) at the top of the page where the program hangs.

Any ideas why the memory available seems to be only about 33M when the memory limit appears to be about 256M?

My ISP says there is no problem with the server
