CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere - I've been browsing the board and still can't find an answer for this one.

Host: Dreamhost
Drupal: 6.20, fresh install with files directory created
CiviCRM version: 3.3.5
MySQL: 5.1.39
PHP   5.3.5
PHP memory limit: 128M

Installing with separate databases and separate users with full permissions to both databases, the install screen at /sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php gives the 'all systems go' message and starts installing, but ends with a Page Not Found at /sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php (even though I have confirmed the files is there)

The sites/default/civicrm.settings.php file is not being created in the install. I have tried uploading one with the correct settings to the folder and then trying to enable the CiviCRM module, which does show as being installed. The results in the page:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
DB Error: no such table

In the logs, there are the errors:

include_once() [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: Failed opening 'sites/default/civicrm.settings.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/<user>/<site>.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 252.

include_once(sites/default/civicrm.settings.php) [<a href='function.include-once'>function.include-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/<user>/<site>.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 252.

Additionally,
internal_error.html is my top "access denied" result

I've been spinning my wheels on this and have read dozens of pages looking for similar issues. It's possible that it's a permissions issue with Dreamhost, but I'd like to see if anyone has had similar. Any help is greatly appreciated. The project is a labor of love that I'm doing as a volunteer, but I'm running out of time.

 

The only things I'm seeing in the error log are as follows:

[Tue Mar 01 15:58:16 2011] [error] [client 99.119.192.39] Premature end of script headers: index.php, referer: http://<site>/admin/build/modules
[Tue Mar 01 17:55:03 2011] [error] [client 99.119.192.39] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/<user>/<site>/sites/all/modules/

Not sure if that helps - I have a support request into the hosting company as well. It's obvious the install script isn't completing since civicrm.settings.php isn't getting created, the install terminates in a page not found, and the db tables are not all being created. Mostly wondered if anyone had seen similar with Dreamhost and knew where to allow access so that it could complete.
