What all should I install for my GSoC Project?
May 15, 2014, 10:42:01 am
Hey,

I am working on the Data Visualization GSoC2014 Project and is trying is to start the CiviCRM development. Currently I have installed a stable release of CiviCRM(4.4.5) with Drupal 7.28 using a tarball. According to my project plan, initially I will be working on an extension called civisualize and will be creating Ready to Use data visualization.

I need to know what all do I need to install, to start developing civi. I know of three repositories on Github namely civicrm-core, civicrm-drupal, civicrm-packages that I would be needing. What all should I install so that my changes can work on all the CMSs not just Drupal. Is there a developer guide for civiCRM as well which will explain what all is needed and why?

Thanks,
Sid

Hey Sid,

Congratulations on being accepted. I suggest you set up your environment using buildkit - https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-buildkit - which will install a bunch of tools & also give you the same environment as other people. Build kit is fairly new - so any problems jump on IRC for help

Hey,

Thank you so much for the link. I completed the process after a few hick-ups. Now finally I have a drupal demo installed which works, but I cannot login into it. What I am getting is
Code: [Select]
CiviCRM does not have permission to write temp files in ~/civicrm-buildkit/build/drupal-demo/sites/default/files/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/, ExitingI understand this is related to the permissions. Can anyone suggest what will be the best set of permissions I should give to this directory for a secure install.

So you want that folder to be owner by the account the web service runs under. But, as you can delete it any time you can happily make them 777 & then delete them later

Now everything is working fine, except I am getting Access Denied on the home page.

I read a forum thread regarding this but I could not find the settings being talked about here.

Check in sites/default/civicrm.settings.php that the BaseURL is the same as the URL you are using--make sure both have or do NOT have the leading "www"

Hi,

There was no difference in the URL and the issue resolved once I installed an extension which surely had no relation with this.
