com-civicrm created (under /home/whiteba1/ , outside public_html)
joomla install from directory-- i type it in: /home/whiteba1/com_civicrm
press install
get the above error

host is bluehost.com
I know others are using civicrm on this host

thank you in advance

cannot thank you enough for your prompt reply

i do not have a .htaccess in public_html OR I SHOULD SAY: in my file manager (cPanel) search shows that I should have one there, but when I look it is not shown.

i do have a php.ini, which I have set to:

max_execution_time = 600     ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
memory_limit = 64M         ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)

bluehost's instruction re the php are as follows:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Bluehost Considerations ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; If you would like to change the PHP environment for any PHP files
; in your account, make the changes to this file.  Then copy this file to
; all directories, including subdirectories, that have PHP files in them.
;
; NOTE: If you do not copy this file to all directories and subdirectories
; with PHP files, your changes here will not affect those files in other
; directories.


I have placed this file in my public_html and my /joomla folder

perhaps I need to place it in other directories as well?

again thank you so much

uhoh7 -
I user Bluehost too, and you're on the right track. The php.ini file you have found and edited only overrides the default settings for the folder(s) it actually resides in.

On the Bluehost knowledgebase, they provide guidance on how to easily copy that file throughout your whole site:

Create a file called "copyphpini.php" and place the following text in it:
<pre><?php system("find * -type d|xargs -i cp --verbose php.ini {}/."); ?></pre>COMPLETE!
Now upload it to your public_html directory, which should be the directory also containing your edited version of the php.ini file.

Open your web browser and go to: www.yoursite.com/copyphpini.php

That script will then copy your edited php.ini file throughout your entire site, ensuring that whatever pages need the modified php settings will have them.

you guys are awesome---no don't have it working yet, hehe.

but I have now found my .htaccess

it is currently blank

I will try pasting in the above code first and see what happens.

PS Brian--

do you remember how you changed your php.ini?

best, charlie

well first I tried the .htaccess route and the site went down with a server error.

I probably did not have the right stuff typed in there.

cleared it and the site came back---whew!

then I went brian's route

YES!!!!!!!!!!

civicrm is now installed.

Now I just have to learn how to use it, hehe.

Thank you so much Brian.

site is under cons, but take a look if you have a sec

http://www.whitebark.org/joomla/

should I leave those php.ini files in place? it made a bunch of them.

charlie

I believe the .htaccess method is recursive. Saves a lot of hassel and is just a text file to create...

Hi Brian
I have followed all the instructions above, but what seems to have happened is that the 'copyphpini.php' file has been copied to the subdirectories, not the php.ini file!

Does that make any sense?

regards Mike

Thx Brian

It still doesnt seem to be working. I run the file from the browser, and it displays 'COMPLETE!', but the php.ini file doesn't copy to any of the other directories. Is this a restriction of my site config or is there any way to make it copy?

thx again Mike

here's the syntax for .htaccess

php_value memory_limit 64M
php_value register_globals off
php_value max_execution_time 60

I've no idea why your server crashed. Maybe it was too much memory allocation?

This approach works well for me and is just a single file in public_html
