CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am installing Drupal 5.2 and CiviCRM 1.8.10954 on my PC for development purposes using Windows XP Pro.  I followed the process outlined by IBM in their article on using Drupal at
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/i-dw-i-osource3.html?S_TACT=105AGX46&S_CMP=LP

Their process installs Drupal under Apache, MySQL, and PHP5, with Eclipse, which I have found works well for development.  I used XAMPP for Apache, MySQL, and PHP.  However, the installation seems to fool the automated installer which puts a "\/" at the end of this string in civicrm.settings.php:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://chaven2.localhost\/' );

This won't work.  I can install CiviCRM just fine, but when I click on the link "CiviCRM," I get an error message 404.  I have found that I had to manually edit this string in the civicrm.settings.php file to

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://chaven2.localhost/' );

The above process worked fine on one installation, but I may have copied the installation from my server, just not sure.

But on a second installation, which was installed from distributions right to my PC, this edit is not enough.  When I go to "Administer CiviCRM," I get a screen with "Show field or section" and "Hide field or section" before each menu block.  I am seeing both the Drupal and Xoops menus but with no Xoops icons.  I am using Firefox with Firebug, and it indicated that there was a javascript problem:

on_load_init_blocks is not defined

I checked the source of the page, and I find:

<style type="text/css">@import url(http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/css/civicrm.css);</style>
<style type="text/css">@import url(http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/css/skins/aqua/theme.css);</style>
<script type="text/javascript">var djConfig = { isDebug: false };</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/packages/dojo/dojo.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/calendar.js"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/lang/calendar-lang.php"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://nrgpros1.localhost\/sites/all/modules/civicrm/js/calendar-setup.js"></script>

Notice the "\/" delimiters.  I did not experience this in the other installation.  Where is CiviCRM picking up this?  It must not be from the civicrm.settings.php file, as I changed it and restarted Apache and MySQL, yet it is still happening.  Is this baseurl string cached somewhere?  How can I clear this out so it will pick up the correct string from civicrm.settings.php?

Can you please download the latest release (rev 11536) and see if this is fixed. We filed and fixed an issue for this at:

http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-2209

since we do not have a windows box / setup, we can not test it  to confirm if it is fixed (but i'm pretty confident in the fix)

This issue has been fixed in 1.9 and will be part of the 1.9 installer
