CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I'm trying to install CiviCRM on my local version of Drupal (7.1.5) and I went to Drupal's module tab -> install new module -> install from URL.  There I entered sourceforge URL: sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.2.0/civicrm-4.2.0-drupal.tar.gz/download, and got the following error:

Cannot extract "temporary://update-cache-570000a4/download", not a valid archive.

What does it mean?  I have no idea what or where temporary://update-cache-570000a4/download is.

Thanks,
Rob

That did the trick, thanks.

But a new confusion has reared it's ugly head:I went to drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php as per the installation instructions and get this:

Warning: require_once(WP_PLUGIN_DIR/civicrm/civicrm//CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Library/WebServer/Documents/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php on line 76

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR/civicrm/civicrm//CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php' (include_path='.::WP_PLUGIN_DIR/civicrm/civicrm/') in /Library/WebServer/Documents/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php on line 76

and from index.php:

global $crmPath;
global $installDirPath;
global $installURLPath;
if ($installType == 'drupal') {
  $crmPath = dirname(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']));
  $installDirPath = $installURLPath = '';
}
elseif ($installType == 'wordpress') {
  $crmPath = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
  $installDirPath = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'install' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

  $installURLPath = WP_PLUGIN_URL . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'civicrm' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'install' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
}

set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $crmPath);

require_once $crmPath . '/CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php';

It appears that the installType is being set to wordpress rather than drupal.  How can that be?

It was a stupid user problem.  I'm evaluating CiviCRM and determining the best environment, WordPress or Drupal.  I probably wouldn't even both with WordPress except for the fact that our website is driven by WordPress.  Well, I installed the WordPress version first and then Drupal.  Since I hadn't killed the browser in between, I thought that might be the problem.  Killed Firefox and opened it back up and the install went fine.  Argh.  I make many unfavorable comments about stupid users and so I especially hate it when the stupid user is me.

Oh, and in answer to the question, yes, it's Mac OS/X and apache.
