fresh install but empty dashboard: undefined constant DRUPAL_ROOT?
February 04, 2012, 01:58:25 am
I'm new to CIVICRM ...

I have a local Turnkey LAMP system (Ubuntu) with a fresh Drupal 7.10. Then I installed CIVICRM 4.0.8 without errors. At the frontpage I can see the new link for civicrm dashboard. But when I click this link I only get an empty page (no messages displayed at all).

In the apache log I can see "Use of undefined constant DRUPAL_ROOT".  I don't know which variable is related to DRUPAL_ROOT in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php. For me this configuration file looks correct.

most likely u r using a PHP Cache (xcache?) or optimizer. can you disable it and see if it works

Just run into this too... yes, disabling xcache does the job... however xcache is really useful to us, so is there any workaround available?
