Please verify if civicrm_root path (/public_html/go/d08/sites/default) is the one where your civicrm files are. It looks like actual root might be /public_html/go/d08/sites/default/modules/civicrm or similar.

Thx,

Are you sure your civicrm.settings.php file is actually being read?

(You can test it with putting some gibberish in there and seeing whether it changes anything.)

I seem to be having the same problem as marqpdx.  I was able to run the install script, but when i enable civiCRM i get the following error warnings and suggestions:

warning: include_once(CRM/Core/Config.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/local/home/actvtestsite/ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 249.

warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'CRM/Core/Config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/:/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm//packages:.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /mnt/local/home/actvtestsite/ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/civicrm.module on line 249.

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 (sites/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/civicrm.settings.php).

» civicrm_root is currently set to: /www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/.

Here's the bit relavent to civicrm_root from my settings file, which i dutifully placed in my sites/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhoster.com/ directory.  ( the *only* copy of settings is there. Is that my problem?  I read that I should perhaps have it in two places in a comment at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Error+Config ) : 

====
global $civicrm_root;

$civicrm_root = '/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/';
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/www.ac-testsite-tv.dreamhosters.com/files/civicrm/templates_c/' );
=====

I also read at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Error+Config that I should create some additional directories and reference them in the settings file :

     "Please check that you have created following directories and their attributes are set to 777:
crm_docs; persist; template_c; upload
After creating these directories add the following path in the civicrm.settings.php file as follows: 

$civicrm_root = '/your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/' ;
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', '/your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/templates_c/' );
define( 'CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL', 'http://www.your_drupal_server_path/' );
define( 'CIVICRM_UPLOADDIR'          , '/your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/upload/'  );
define( 'CIVICRM_CUSTOM_FILE_UPLOADDIR'    , '/your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/crm_docs/' );
define( 'CIVICRM_UF_RESOURCEURL'  , 'http://your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/' );
define( 'CIVICRM_IMAGE_UPLOADURL' , 'http://your_drupal_server_path/modules/civicrm/persist/' );   "

Is this necessary?  I have not done this yet.  could this be causing my problem?

And, lastly, is it possible that running drupal's update.php could fix this?  i have not run it since installing civi. 

Many thanks in advance for any insight!

Thanks, Dave  .  My coworker managed to get it up last night after all.  He said the issue was that the civicrm.settings.php file was only in one directory, and it should have been in two places.   

I'm afraid this is a naive question, but what is the logic behind the first part of the path you suggested?  (the '/mnt/local/home/actvtestsite/....) I thought that path would only work if I was trying to run civi locally on my own server? 

Also, is it best practice to create those other directories as suggested at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Error+Config ?
