How to test on D6?
December 26, 2011, 05:32:40 am
Hi,

Wanted to test with a bigger database that is on D6.

I recall that having D6 & D7 side by side was not possible and it needed some adjustment. Is there something special to do to have 4.1 svn installed on D6?

1. do and svn checkout and build from the 4.1 branch

2. svn switch the drupal module directory to the 3.4 branch

Did you get this working? There's some code in distmaker/dists/drupal6_php5.sh which I looked at too.

I'm trying to test an upgrade though (which I'd assume would be the main reason to use D6 instead of 7), but civi is looking for a civicrm_setting table, which looks like it was added in 4.1, so the site won't even load.

Can you download the D6 beta1 tarball from sourceforge and see if that works?

It's during civicrm_intialize, when it tries to initialize the config singleton in line 272. This eventually leads to CRM_Core_BAO_Setting::retrieveDirectoryAndURLPreferences() which is looking for this table.

I get the same error on a completely separate installation/server, using the tarball.

Based on the code as noted above it would seem like nobody would be able to do an upgrade, even starting from a D7-4.0 install ? ? ?

You need to set the UF in civicrm.settings.php to drupal6 not drupal

Thanks but it doesn't seem to be a d6/7 issue. And yes I did set that to Drupal6.

The problem was that you have to be logged in to Drupal BEFORE you replace the old code files, and don't log out until you're all done. It isn't specific to Drupal 6 or Civi 4.1.

I've updated the wiki docs.
