Paths in CiviCRM and Joomla
August 19, 2013, 11:27:14 am
I have tried a bunch of things I have found on the web but I cannot get the paths to update when moving a CiviCRM Joomla site to a different server.  The site works fine in my test server but on the new server I get these errors which are not showing the correct path according to what is both settings files.

Warning: require_once(/home/engagedp/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/engagedp/public_html/plugins/user/civicrm/civicrm.php on line 103

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/engagedp/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php' (include_path='.:/opt/php53/lib/php') in /home/engagedp/public_html/plugins/user/civicrm/civicrm.php on line 103

I have tried everything I can think of and I am lost.   ???

Thanks for any help I can get!

Hi Steve,

It's hard to know what to suggest, since you didn't specify what you've already tried!
The obvious things:
* What are the values you have in civicrm.settings.php for:
$civicrm_root
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR'
define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'

Did you update your paths at: <yoursite>/civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend?reset=1

My installs are all Drupal, not sure if that URL is correct for you - but it's Administer menu, System Settings, Cleanup Caches and Update Paths.

I can not get to the path reset link.  Whenever I load anything in the administrator area I get the areas that I shared earlier. 

The values I have set are.

$civicrm_root = '/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm';
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/public_html/media/civicrm/templates_c');

This is on Host Gator using PHP 5.3.27

I am not sure what else to do.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Those values don't look right.  If your civicrm_root is '/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm' but you got a warning that:
Warning: require_once(/home/engagedp/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php)

Those paths don't match up.  Which is correct?  I'm guessing your civicrm_root and CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR path are incorrect, if you didn't update those after moving to a new server that has a different path to your files.

I'd check to see the actual path, then update settings accordingly.

Also, have you used Civi on shared hosting before?  I wouldn't expect very good performance out of Hostgator - and depending on how much RAM they allow you per Apache process, you may not get it to run at all.

Thank you for your help.  I had tried both paths . When I change the paths to have the full path listed in the errors I get

Fatal error: Class 'CRM_Core_Config_Variables' not found in /home/engagedp/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Config.php on line 43

In terms of the virtual hosting it is not my favorite way to do things but the client feels it works for them.
