CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have been searching the forum and not finding the solution.  Hopefully if this has been answered before, someone will point me to the right thread.  Sorry this is long, I don't want to leave out something that may be relevant.

For the last few months I was working to clean up my data set for import into CiviCRM.  Now that I think I am ready to import, I figured this would be a good time to upgrade both Drupal and CiviCRM to the latest versions before I import the data and move out of testing.


The upgrade of Drupal to 6.25 (from some previous 6.x) went smoothly.  The upgrade of CiviCRM from 3.x didn't go smoothly.  When I pointed my browser at the upgrade page (mydomain/civicrm/upgrade?reset=1 or mydomain/?q=civicrm/upgrade&reset=1) I got only page not found errors.  I did follow the directions carefully and tried every solution I could find in the FAQs and forums.


Eventually I decided to try a clean install.  I deleted all the CiviCRM tables in my Drupal database and renamed civicrm.settings.php.  The install page accepted my settings and reported ready to install.  After the install process, the install page changes to a page not found error rather than returning whatever the normal install results would be.  The database tables have been created but the new settings file has not.

On the chance that it was only an issue with the creation of the settings file,  I renamed the settings file back to civicrm.settings.php and visit mydomain/civicrm/dashboard, I get the following error:

warning: Missing argument 1 for CRM_Utils_System_Drupal6::cmsRootPath(), called in /home/myuser/mydirectory/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/Config/Defaults.php on line 159 and defined in /home/myuser/mydirectory/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Utils/System/Drupal6.php on line 592.

- when you did fresh install, which version of CiviCRM did you use? Since you are using drupal 6. you should down use 4.1.x drupal 6 version ro 3.4.x

I used   civicrm-4.1.1-drupal6.tar.gz

Are you saying I should use civicrm-3.4.beta3-drupal.tar.gz   ?

- why did you replace new civicrm.settings.php with old one ?

The re-install didn't create a new settings file, the install process failed in some way.  Using the old settings file again was a test to see if it would work.

- note that the uf name for CiviCRM 4.1.x and drupal 6.x is "Drupal6" in your civicrm.settings.php

Yes, I did do that.

- also after install did you try logout / login ?

I did not try that.  I will when I get back to my office.


Thanks,

Install should create civicrm.settings.php, can you make sure your defaults folder si writable. Also is installer all green?

/defaults is writable by both my user and by group

installer is all green

The installer did still returned to a "Page Not Found" at the end of the installation, but maybe that is what is supposed to happen.

No, not at all. But if all else works, you can probably ignore that.
