CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Same issue as: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,7059.0.html, which was posted just over one year ago...created new post per forum instructions when I tried to reply to that one...

Drupal Version: 6.16
CiviCRM Version: 3.1.3 Drupal PHP5 26406

In attempting a fresh install of CiviCRM, I got the following error:

Oops! Incorrect Drupal Version

This version of CiviCRM can only be used with Drupal 6.x. Please ensure that 'C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal-6.16/sites/modules/system/system.module' exists if you are running Drupal 6.0 and over. Refer to the online http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installation+and+Upgrades for information about installing CiviCRM.

Per instructions in the above-referenced post, I added the following lines to my install/index.php file:

print $drupalVersionFile;
exit;[/b]

then refreshed the install page and got the following as the path:

C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal-6.16/sites/modules/system/system.module

It seems to me that the $crmPath variable is being incorrectly set...the correct path should be C:/xampp/htdocs/drupal-6.16/modules/system/system.module (the sites directory is causing the error...).

I am attempting a multisite install, so that may be part of the problem...I have multiple Drupal sites using the same code, and my sites/all/modules directory also has /contrib and /custom directories (for clarity and consistency, I use these directories in my subsites directories to differentiate between contributed drupal modules and custom modules).

I did notice the following in the install/index.php file:

if ( $installType == 'drupal' ) {
    // do not check 'sites/all/modules' only since it could be a multi-site
    // install. Rather check for existance of sites & modules in the url
    if ( ! preg_match( "/" . preg_quote('sites' . CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) .
                       "([a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)" .
                       preg_quote(CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'modules', CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) . "/",
                       str_replace( "\\","/",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ) ) ) {
        $errorTitle = "Oops! Please Correct Your Install Location";
        $errorMsg = "Please untar (uncompress) your downloaded copy of CiviCRM in the <strong>" . implode(CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, array('sites', 'all', 'modules')) . "</strong> directory below your Drupal root directory. Refer to the online " . $docLink . " for more information.<p>If you want to setup / install a <strong>Standalone CiviCRM</strong> version (i.e. not a Drupal or Joomla module), <a href=\"?mode=standalone\">click here</a>.</p>";
        errorDisplayPage( $errorTitle, $errorMsg );
    }
}[/b]

as well as this in the civicrm.config.php file:

   /**
     * We are within the civicrm module, the drupal root is 2 links
     * above us, so use that
     */
    $currentDir = dirname( __FILE__ ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    if ( file_exists( $currentDir . 'settings_location.php' ) ) {
        include $currentDir . 'settings_location.php';
    }

    if ( defined( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR' ) && ! isset( $confdir ) ) {
       $confdir = CIVICRM_CONFDIR;
    } else {
        // make it relative to civicrm.config.php, else php makes it relative
        // to the script that invokes it
        // simple check to see if this is under sites/all or just modules
        if ( strpos( $currentDir, 'sites' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'all' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'modules' ) !== false ) {
            // seems like this is in drupal5 dir location
            $confdir = $currentDir . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..';
        } else {
            $confdir = $currentDir . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'sites';
        }
    }[/b]

If I'm following the code correctly, this is what I think is causing the problem, since my directory structure for this multisite install is mysite.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/civicrm; going up two links from /modules without my /contrib directory would bring me to the mysite.com/modules directory, and would eliminate the /sites directory which seems to be causing the problem

Any ideas on how to get around this??? I'm familiar enough with .php code to read and understand it, but I am hesitant to modify it without some direction...while I don't mind making the code changes to make this work, I am curious as to why the install code doesn't look directly to mysite.com/modules/system for the system.module file, since that is where the file will reside regardless of whether it's a single or multisite install (in drupal, at least)

Thanks, as always, for your help!

Thanks. Lobo...guess I'll do that...already knew how to fix it...all I have to do is modify the way I do things....

Still don't understand the rationale....

and i did add the following lines to verify location

print $drupalVersionFile;
exit;

and it is correct location of system.module.

system.module file does indeed make reference to VERSION (6.1.6)

On my Xampp installation on windows, my directory is this:

C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal-6.16\sites\all\modules\civicrm

The install should place the civicrm.settings file here: C:\xampp\htdocs\drupal-6.16\sites\default

Can you check what yout $confdir variable contains?
