Can't test configuration
July 17, 2010, 12:08:33 pm
I'm doing a new install of 3.2.beta

In the documentation for setting up CiviMail it says:

Quote
Once you do this, you can test whether the polling works by visiting CiviCRM-Resource-URL/bin/CiviMailProcessor.php?name=username&pass=password&key=key  (with the bold parts replaced by your site's CiviCRM Resource URL, credentials pair of a user with CiviMail access and your site's key).

I've tried this using the admin user (all permissions for everything) and I  get a 403 error:

Quote
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin/ on this server.

I've double checked the path user name, etc. and can't get past this.

I know the user/pw/key are ok because if i put anything different I get a relevant error like:

Quote
ERROR: Invalid username and/or password

any suggestions?

Have you checked your file permission for the bin directory as well as the files?

the file permissions were 655, so I set them to 777.

But I still get the same error.

I don't get the error on a different host that I am experimenting with. So I think it is host related.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that on this problematic host the Drupal’s .htaccess file might be a bit more effective in restricting access (or some other server configuration restricts it – say, a rule that …/bin/… directories cannot be accessed by default).
If you found the above helpful, please consider helping us in return – you can even steer CiviCRM’s future and help us extend CiviCRM in ways useful to you.

I tried running the scripts from a different folder and got this:

Quote
Could not find valid configuration dir, best guess: /home/krishna/domains/fobtestsite.com/public_html/civiscriptest/../../sites

If this is a standalone installation (i.e. not a Drupal or Joomla module) and you'd like to re-initialize it, click here.

Then I tried renaming the original bin folder and got the same 403 error.

I'll check more with our web host.

Do check with your web host, but just in case – the above can be fixed by creating a settings_location.php file (in the same directory where the bin directory is) with the following contents:

Code: [Select]
<?php
define('CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/some/path/');

…where /some/path/ points to the directory with the civicrm.settings.php file.

I am getting the same error "Could not find valid configuration dir, best guess: /home/scethics/public_html/sites/scethics.org/modules/civicrm/../../sites" when I try to run "UpdateMembershipRecord.php."  I had this running fine before I upgraded.  However, when I upgraded, I moved the Civi module from sites/all/modules to sites/scethics.org/modules.  I modified all the urls in both settings.php as well as in the civi database.  I also tried to add a settings_location.php file.  NOthing works, same error every time. 

Is there something else I can check?

Thanks,
Maria
