Global settings do not save
July 16, 2012, 10:45:44 am
I make changes to the global settings, click "Save", get a message "Your changes have been saved. " go back to the setting and find the settings haven't been saved.
What do I need to do to get them saved?
Are the settings save in the database or a file. Presumably if it's a file there could be a permissions problem and if so which file is saved or if it's a database problem which table(s) are they saved in as I don't mind manually making the changes, but I would prefer to do it via the CMS.

Most settings are saved in the civicrm_settings table. But perhaps try removing all files/folders in templates_c first and see if that helps.

I'm using 4.0.7 which I believe doesn't have a civicrm_settings table.  I've also deleted all the files in template_c and still the settings refuse to save. The base directory has at some stage saved, which I think was when I restored the site using Akeeba.

Try running

Code: [Select]
UPDATE `civicrm_domain` SET `config_backend`=NULL ;
and try removing ConfigAndLog/Config.IDS.ini which should be in files or in files/templates_c

Thank Hershel, I ended up doing a complete re-install form an older Akeeba backup file and that's cured the problem. It does mean that somebody has to do some updating, but CiviCRM appears to be much happier.
