Hi

Right after a new install, when accessing the main search screen:

---------- CiviCRM Error/warning  messages ------------
Warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in /home/michambe/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/Setting.php on line 127

-------------------------------

I uninstalled, removed the tables, and reinstalled. Got the same error/warning message.

OK, it looks like ALL our CiviCRM sites are down. Last Friday (05/11/07) we did change registered_global to OFF, and magic_quotes to ON, on the Server (I got sick of seeing the red messages in the backend of Joomla). Is this what is causing the problem???

All of our sites have the same version of Joomla 1.0.12, and the same modules installed, Acajoom, ArtBannerPlus, jCalPro, mosDirectory, and zOOm Gallery.

Following PHP Server Settings are not optimal for Security and it is recommended to change them:

    * Joomla! RG_EMULATION setting is `ON` instead of `OFF` in file globals.php
      `ON` by default for compatibility reasons

Please check the Official Joomla! Server Security post for more information.

Hi all,

We found out the problem.  Last Friday we turned ON "Magic_Quotes", because I was tired of looking at the red warning box in the backend of Joomla.  Turns out that magic_quotes screws up the entry in the civicrm_domain table, config_backend field.  You get a lot of escape \ characters that cause civiCRM not to load.  Clean up the field and everything works OK (I hope).

For now we are going to leave magic_quotes off.... unless someone has another suggestion.

thanks.

Not sure why exactly that is happening, but it has something to do with the settings file. If i can get access to the box, i can figure out what condition we are tripping on and potentially fix it.

I've added a check in the trunk version to avoid the below error
