CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've been going in circles for days, and despite reading the floss manual, online docs, and searching the forums, I can't find out why the member contribution setup is failing.

The "Title and Settings" section gets saved, but when I try to save the "Contribution Amounts" I get kicked back to the Welcome to your New Drupal site screen. Originally I got an error saying "No user associated with account" which I tracked down to the empty Paypal test account; once I corrected that, I no longer got the error.

In fact, the frustrating thing is that CiviCRM.log is empty despite the fact that I ensured write permissions to sites/default/files/civicrm/upload/CiviCRM.log

What is also strange is that I keep losing the changes made to the next section: "Membership Settings". I have tried with and without price sets, and ensured that an Org contact exists for the membership; I've also ensured that the anon users can make online contributions and has "Profile Listings and Forms" permissions.

Clearly I'm missing something, but without a log to let me see the error, I'm in the dark. I turned on DEBUG but that didn't seem to provide any feedback. I also turned on syslog at the Drupal level, but it's not giving me anything useful.

How do I get a better idea of what the error is? Any pointers appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the thought Lobo - but I haven't even got there yet (I had intended to turn on clean URLs, but I like to start with a vanilla install).

Any idea why the CiviCRM.log file is empty? All my upload files are in that dir, so I know it's writeable. But I had to touch the file to create it, and then made sure it was 640 with www as owner.
Or is there a better way to get troubleshooting output?

tnx,
 Kevin

Sorry, I misunderstood your first note to mean that Clean URLs were the problem.

I turned on clean url's, but the CiviCRM.log is still empty. And although I don't get dumped back to the newb page, the drop-down menu for configuring the contribution page still shows RED (as in, not configured). Memb Settings, Thank-You, and Tell-a-Friend all show as configured, so presumably there's a problem in the Contribution section.

thanks,

The log file only gets written to when there is a fatal error. Wanna try a url like:

q=civicrm/profile/create&reset=1&gid=10001

(assuming u dont have a profile with id 10001 )
