CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

we're not just talking about the url in the settings file. you need to make sure the resources settings url in the system is correct. go to:

http://YOURSITE/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/url&reset=1

I had this problem too.
Although the $civicrm_root value in the civicrm.settings.php is the ABSOLUTE path value, the correct entry to make in the web entry from the Global Settings Resource Url entry window would be the RELATIVE path to the BaseUrl:

In the civicrm.settings.php there will be a line such as
define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://www.mysite.com/administrator/' );

since I want my root to be:
$civicrm_root = '/home/webadmin/mysite.com/html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm';
(for some reason when it writes to the civicrm.settings.php, the last slash '/' gets dropped)
if you are required to set the Global Setting Resource Url via the url since the menu is not showing:
http://YOURSITE/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/url&reset=1
the correct entry in this case is RELATIVE to the Base value in the civicrm.settings.php file
thus the correct entry in the Global Settings Resource Url entry window in this case would be:
components/com_civicrm/civicrm/ (the path relative to the base).
Now, I'm a bit new to this, but this worked for me.
