last 25 lines are so here:

I did not use the installer because i am running
mysql 5.0, php 4.3.11, drupal 5.2

i definitely used the php 4 version.

if I take the periods out of the civicrmssettings file i get this:

warning: civicrm_initialize(CRM/Core/Config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/C/r/o/Crossleft/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 243.
warning: civicrm_initialize(): Failed opening 'CRM/Core/Config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/C/r/o/Crossleft/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 243.

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: /home/content/C/r/o/Crossleft/html/sites/all/modules/.

Can you cut-n-paste the line where you set civicrm_root

You might want to consider upgrading to php5 since 1.8 is the last release with php4 support

Sorry, at this point i'm sure why you are getting the error since your civicrm_root seems to be right

Your best bet might be to find a php5 host and use the installer

Do I see an error in the root rule?
global $civicrm_root;
$civicrm_root = '/home/content/C/r/o/Crossleft/html/sites/all/modules/';

I would say this should be:
$civicrm_root = '/home/content/C/r/o/Crossleft/html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/';


??

argh, i missed that. BUT the include path in the error message (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') does not even include the erroneous civicrm directory, which leads me to a conclude that there is something else wrong with the install

I did a fast check on my site5 server by commenting the .htacces rule for switching to php4: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php

I get the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting '(' in /home/name/public_html/drupal5/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 477

I think lobo is right: you need php5

Please check the faq of godaddy: http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=1082&prog_id=GoDaddy&isc=
And see: you can switch to php5 with the rule AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php in .htacces

I thought i had done that, but it doesn't seem to have taken.
I'm fairly new to this.  Is this the right code?


# AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
# AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

On godaddy, when you create a database, you have the choice to use php4 or php 5.
The option appears with checkboxes when you create the database.

If you are using the same database you used for Drupal, you might be stuck with whatever you picked at the time (the default is php4), or you might be able to change afterwards.  But you can also create another database just for civicrm (which is recommended by the wiki) and use php5.

Keep in mind that godaddy has its own host name for the databases, you can't use "localhost" (I assume you already know that but I'm just making sure).

The problem seems to be about directing civicrm relevant files to the exact location of the module on Godaddy, and to use the right database name. 

I'm following your thread, as I have the same problem.

do you have the choice to pick php4 or 5 or mysql 4.1 or 5.0?....if its mysql i have tried both in a separate database and believe i have the full database name.   I think have the right name for the databases as well.

I think php is determed by .htaccess file in the root directory...i'm just trying to figure out if i have the right code.   

let me know if you get it up on your side.
