New Install fills apache log, blank screen
October 07, 2011, 05:50:30 am
Trying to install CiviCRM 3.4.6 on Joomla 1.5
Local installation (Ubuntu Natty Narwhal)
PHP 5.3.5
MySQL 5.1

Modified php.ini as follows:
  max_input_time = 1200
  memory_limit = 256M
  upload_max_filesize = 8M

When I follow the instructions and install from directory, after a minute or two, I get a blank white screen.
The apache log grows by 485 MB, filled with tens of thousands of the same warning:

PHP Warning:  readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /var/www/joomla15/libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php on line 424, referer: (removed h-t-t-p) ...//localhost/joomla15/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer

... and finally by one error:

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 263198721 bytes) in /var/www/joomla15/libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php on line 424, referer: (removed h-t-t-p) ...//localhost/joomla15/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer

Increasing available PHP memory yielded the same results, just took longer to crash.
Any help would me most appreciated.

no replies in a week...
i'll triple check and make sure i didn't ask any stupid questions.
i assumed that someone has had this problem before. 
i'll try to dig into the php code and see where it is puking, but if anyone can shed any light on it , i'd be grateful.

Hershel, thank you!

I was looking in all the wrong places.
Although that link did not solve my problem, it did lead me to grant permissions from the operation system (since this was a local install) in the /tmp directory, and solved the problem.

I love the open source community.  Thanks again.

I'm getting a similar error. Seems nobody else is discussing this with respect to Civi. I recently updated to CiviCRM 3.4.7 (Joomla 1.5.23). I get the error below on the 'Import Contacts' screen. All directory permissions are 775. Any ideas?

"Warning: readdir() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/organicland/www/www/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Import/Form/DataSource.php on line 77"

Thanks very much,
Phil
