Strange,

I had the same problem and looking in versions of administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/civicrm.config.php from 4.4.4 and 4.4.5 (non alt download) they both had mentions of Drupal and nothing else. I changed it's contents to the code you pasted above and all works now, but that seems rather strange and I don't remember having to do that before.

Same problem here going from whatever version was before 4.4.4 to 4.4.5 with Joomla.
Causing so many issues and I'm not sure how to fix.

I fixed it by copying in the values above and replacing with my path details.

Hi,

I tried installing civicrm 4.4.5 version for joomla (not the alt version), and the 'civicrm.config.php' is proper according to Joomla CMS i.e. like below:

Quote
<?php
define('CIVICRM_SETTINGS_PATH', '/home/pratik/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php');
$error = @include_once( '/home/pratik/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php' );
if ( $error == false ) {
    echo "Could not load the settings file at: /home/pratik/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php
";
    exit( );
}

// Load class loader
require_once $civicrm_root . '/CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php';
CRM_Core_ClassLoader::singleton()->register();

I did CiviCRM installation according to 'Install from Directory' technique of Extension Installation for Joomla.

NOTE: before installing civicrm, the 'civicrm tarball' consists of 'civicrm.config.php' coded for all the 3 CMS'es i.e Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress. But after installing, the path '/home/pratik/public_html/joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/' consists of proper Joomla based 'civicrm.config.php' file.

This is my story about it.....
The 4.4.4 version I downloaded earlier in the year had the wrong files in the archive, and presumably caused the problem.
I downloaded 4.4.5 and did a new install as normal, including the database update script and the problem is solved.
Appreciate the help on this one.

I reinstalled with the latest version and it fixed the issues. I'm glad :D Looks like we had a dodgy source file at one point.
