CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi - answers inline...

Upon install I had several warnings but they do not show up anymore. So I wanted to use the debugg feature as I have been getting numerous crashes. Low and behold I can not find that code anywhere. I looked back over the installation instructions and it says:

Please do a search for the specific errors you are seeing on this forum and on the mailing list archives at http://www.nabble.com/CiviCRM-Community-Mailing-List-Archives-f15986.html

If you don't find answers to your issue(s), then post the specific error messages here with info about your install envioronment.

"You should now have a drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm directory with a number of directories below it (including civicrm/bin, civicrm/modules and civicrm/sql)"

I do not have a civicrm/modules directory when I unpackage the tar file. I have tried redownloading the file and it doesnt have that directory.

civicrm/modules is no longer part of the distribution. I've updated the 1.7 Drupal install doc. You should have ...sites/all/modules/civicrm/bin ... sql .. CRM ... templates and more.

Also, per the installation and configuration guide the debugg code should be inline "Debug Documentation (from civicrm.settings.php)"

but that code snippet doesnt appear to be in the civicrm.setting.php file.?

Debugging is now enabled via the user interface ("Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Debugging"). This is documented here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Debugging

I will be updating the http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installation+and+Configuration+Trouble-shooting page to reflect this change. Sorry for the confusion. However, I don't think this level of debugging will be helpful until you get to the place where you can actually login and access CiviCRM pages - which I'm assuming you can't do yet.

Checking out your Apache (i.e. webserver) error logs is one good place to start debugging.

Also what are these folders for?
/var/www/drupal/files/civicrm/crm_docs/
/var/www/drupal/files/civicrm/templates_c/
/var/www/drupal/files/civicrm/upload/

I created these folders and upon full install nothing gets placed into them....what purpose do these folders provide?

These are used for temporary uploads and compiled templates. They will be automatically populated by various operations (the templates_c will be populated with cached files as soon as you actually get CiviCRM screens to load).
