CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have been having the hardest time trying to install CiviCRM on my Drupal 4.7.  I am trying to re-create a site, so I am trying to install CiviCRM 1.7.9379 on Drupal 4.7.8. 

I have all of the civicrm install files in the sites/all/modules/civicrm directory
The $civicrm_root is set to './sites/all/modules/civicrm/';

I copied the civicrm.module to the modules folder.  The civicrm.settings file is in the sites/default folder.

I just don't know what I have done wrong.  I was getting the typical "Failed opening required 'CRM/Core/Config.php'" error until I put the . in before the $civicrm_root  And now I am getting this error:

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DB/DataObject.php' (include_path='.:./sites/all/modules/civicrm/:./sites/all/modules/civicrm//packages:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /mnt/target02/344441/344443/www.gcir.org/web/content/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/DAO.php on line 51

I just don't know what else to try on this.  Any ideas?

I've set the civicrm root to what you've told me and it still isn't working. 

My next question is if I have an existing database from CiviCRM 1.7 and I try to use it on 1.9 will I have any problems?

How can I upgrade if I don't have version 1.7 working?

Thanks for all your help.  I ended up just wiping my install and tried again, and it worked ~*magically*~
