Problem with installing 4.0.5 on a Win 7 workstation
August 17, 2011, 04:38:21 pm
I'm new to both Drupal and CiviCRM.  While the "Drupal Installation Guide for CiviCRM 4.0" recommends a Linux platform, the book "Understanding CiviCRM" indicates it can be installed on a Windows system.  However, when I attempt to install CiviCRM 4.0.5, Drupal gives me the following:
• HTTP error 1 occurred when trying to fetch .... sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.0.5/civicrm-4.0.5-drupal.tar.gz.
• Unable to retrieve Drupal project from  .... sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.0.5/civicrm-4.0.5-drupal.tar.gz.

I've probably misunderstood the instructions, but after several attempts I keep getting the same results.  As background, I used the Acquia package to install the WAMP for Drupal 7.4 on my Windows 7 workstation.

Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

If the installer is failing for you, then manually browse to the URL at

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/Drupal+Installation+Guide+for+CiviCRM+4.0#DrupalInstallationGuideforCiviCRM4.0-3.TellDrupalwheretofindtheCiviCRM4.0Module

and download the CiviCRM tarball and then unzip it into sites/all/modules/civicrm in your Drupal install.

Then proceed to step 5 of that page.

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately I'm unable to locate a CiviCRM 4.0 Drupal zip file and it looks to me like a .gz can not be unzipped.  I must be misunderstanding something.

.gz is a "zipped" archive. Try http://www.7-zip.org/ for windows as I think it can handle such. .gz is a standard Linux archive.

I am running WAMP on Windows 7 x64 machine and .gz unzips fine with winzip. Then unzip the resulting .tar and at that point you will have a .zip that will FINALLY unzip the actual contents.  Good luck  :)
