When I run UpdateMembershipRecord.php as a cron job it returns errors

Line 37 is require_once '../civicrm.config.php';

Using the civicrm-1.9.12432-joomla-php5 distro (joomla 1.0.12) the file \com_civicrm\civicrm\civicrm.config.php exists but I don't see it on my site. It only contains Drupal specific calls to locate the appropriate configuration file.

I'm assuming this is a small bug but am not sure what effect it has on the rest of the script. Can I assume that it can just be commented out?

Finally got UpdateMembershipRecord.php using civicrm-1.9.12432-joomla-php5 distro (joomla 1.0.12) to run but it took some investigation.

As mentioned before the call on line 37 Line 37 is require_once '../civicrm.config.php'; refers to the file
\com_civicrm\civicrm\civicrm.config.php which is not installed as part of the Joomla install.

I extracted the file from the distro and copied it onto my site. This then threw an error relating to not finding a settings_location.php file which would appear to ve a drupal specific install requirement. I created this file /public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/settings_location.php

Code: [Select]

<?php
define( 'CIVICRM_CONFDIR', '/home/your_server/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm' );
?>

However civicrm.config.php was still erroring due to an a FIXME: problem spot for Drupal 5.1 config dir layout
to fix I simply changed

Code: [Select]

    $conf = "$confdir/default";
    return $conf;

to

Code: [Select]

    $conf = "$confdir";
    return $conf;

While this works I don't see this as being a clean solution. It basically works around the drupal process and I suspect that a much cleaner solution is possible.

Should I raise this as an issue for Joomla installs?

I suspect you did a manual / svn install at some point. The joomla component installer script, overwrites the default civicrm.config.php file with a file specific for that installation. On my localhost, the contents of the file is:

Code: [Select]

<?php

require_once '/Users/lobo/public_html/joomla-1.0.13/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php';

?>

thanks Lobo, that makes sense now. Took a look at the installer and see the code to do that. My original install was 1.5 (7023) and I've upgrade each release since then. Don't remember doing a manual or SVN install but thats not really important now.

Looking forward to v2.0. Many thanks for your hard work,

Henry
