CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Cron jobs are not running and when I try to execute from URL I get an errror that the CiviCRM root directory is not defined. I get a similar error when trying to upload images in CKEditor.

Oops! - The path for including CiviCRM code files is not set properly. Most likely there is an error in the civicrm_root setting in your CiviCRM settings file (/home/fsgnw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm//../civicrm.settings.php).

» civicrm_root is currently set to: .


In civicrm.settings.php the $civicrm_root directory is defined as:

$civicrm_root = '/home/fsgnw/public_html/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/';

And the base URL as:

define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL'      , 'http://www.fsgnw.com/' );


However, in the Resource URLs setting, CiviCRM Resource URL is defined as:

http://www.fsgnw.com/wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm/


I upgraded to 4.4 and the problem doesn't seem to be resolved. What obvious thing am I missing here?

Hi,
I was having the same problem you describe on a Wordpress installation with civi 4.4.4. I am no civi expert but the problem seems to be a problem in civicrm.php. I am not sure whether this is the actual problem as I stopped investigating when it worked! In the initialize function on line 280 of civicrm.php the $civicrm_root variable is referenced without first declaring it a global variable. I just stuck a line in at the beginning of the function like this:

public function initialize() {
    global $civicrm_root;
    static $initialized = FALSE;
    static $failure = FALSE;
It seems to work for me - crons all working. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Douglas.

I just upgraded to 4.4.5 and was encountering the same error. This fix also resolved it!
