CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm using Joomla1.5.3.  I used JoomlaPack with no trouble to backup my site, then JoomlaPC to install CiviCRM -- took several tries to get the php.ini settings HIGH ENOUGH for my computer (6000 / 600 / 256MB), but that finally also worked.

Problem -- uploading the repacked site.

Some of my config files were not converted when I used the kickstart installer, including civicrm.settings.php, so I am having trouble with some of the files on my host calling for
W:\www\Joomla\administrator\...
instead of
/home/users/web/b2773/ipw.[accountname]/public_html/aver/administrator/...

I actually now have 2 directories inside of the administrator directory that recreate themselves any time I access the CiviCRM control panel, no matter how many timse I remove them:
W:\www\Joomla\media\civicrm\custom
W:\www\Joomla\media\civicrm\upload

I also have the following problem that is showing up in the source code of every page in my CiviCRM control panel inside Joomla, that I am still madly trying to hunt down:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/Joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/js/Common.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/Joomla/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/js/calendar-setup.js"></script> and so on and so forth.

As such, the CiviCRM control pages only render correctly on my iPower hosted site whilst I have JoomlaPC running at home.  When I shut down JoomlaPC, all I see is plain blue text and text links.  I need this thing working all by its lonesome since I am not the only administrator.

Still scouring through my files to find where the heck these errors are...

I corrected all of the resource URLs, set civicrm_domain config_backend to NULL, and got a fatal error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Please make sure the IDS/tmp folder is writable' in /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/IDS/Monitor.php:187 Stack trace: #0 /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/IDS.php(113): IDS_Monitor->__construct(Array, Object(IDS_Init)) #1 /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Invoke.php(74): CRM_Core_IDS->check(Array) #2 /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/admin.civicrm.php(46): CRM_Core_Invoke::invoke(Array) #3 /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/admin.civicrm.php(23): civicrm_invoke() #4 /hermes/.../libraries/joomla/application/component/helper.php(162): require_once('/hermes/bosweb/...') #5 in /hermes/.../administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/IDS/Monitor.php on line 187

I corrected that, and got a 500 error with nothing logged.

I think I am going to scrap this route, rip everything out, restore my pre-CiviCRM DB backup, and see if I can use enough host memory for a nice quiet 4am install.  I've sunk too many weekend hours into the JoomlaPack/JoomlaPC method to be running into so many problems now.

I'm clearly missing something very important here.  Do you by chance know where one might find a nice and concise list of CiviCRM files / DB entries that must be changed by hand post-JoomlaPack-kickstart?  Sort of a [CiviCRM-via-JoomlaPack/JoomlaPC for dummies]?

Having never previously used JoomlaPack/JoomlaPC -- this method has been nothing even vaguely related to 10 minutes for me.

On a fresh Joomla setup you don't have to change anything in CiviCRM files / DB. I never used used JoomlaPack, so no idea about that..

Let me give some clearer details.

So far, trying to do a fresh install on iPower is pointless due to 500 errors.

The only way I can get CiviCRM to actually install is on JoomlaPC.  As a fresh install on JoomlaPC, everything works just perfectly.

When I follow the suggestion at the top of this thread to pack up my site, import it to JoomlaPC, install CiviCRM, repack, and then unpack on my host via JoomlaPack kickstart -- it only changes the Joomla configure.php.  All of the CiviCRM configurations stay as is, and thus -- trying to find http://localhost... instead of the correct doc root/ etc. for iPower.

I've found the manual installation thread for Drupal, but have yet to find one for Joomla.  Hence my question as to whether or not anyone has compiled a list of CiviCRM2.1a files that need to be corrected from JoomlPC or possibly a plain old manual-install guide for Joomla1.5.

Can you delete /hermes/.../media/civicrm/upload/Config.IDS.ini and check if it solves your problem.

I had a kickstart failure right at the very end, so I had to export my JoomlaPC database and import it onto my host server.

I updated both of my civicrm.settings.php's

I reset the directories correctly at http://<joomla_site>/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1
Refresh = all CiviCRM links on the Component drop-down menu were working, but all of the links INSIDE the CiviCRM were still pointing to http://localhost...

I went into the civicrm_domain table and set config_backend =NULL
Refresh = got the fatal error when I tried to use any of the links inside of the CiviCRM control panel.

I deleted /hermes/.../media/civicrm/upload/Config.IDS.ini
Refresh = every single CiviCRM link is properly pointing to my host ... except the top left menu.

In the civicrm_menu table -- the breadcrumb fields are still pointing to http://localhost.  Working on how much to find/replace there because a total f/r just produced:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /hermes/bosweb/web277/b2773/ipw.averusaa/public_html/aver/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Menu.php on line 380

So I need to roll back and recheck.

so breaking this thing for you guys means my paycheck is going to get doubled, right?   

EDIT: I somehow un-broke it.

After rolling back my civicrm_menu table -- I went into the global settings page, verified everything (was all already correct), clicking save as I went along -- and suddenly the leftover links that were still pointing to http://localhost are now pointing to my domain.  Not sure which confirmation triggered the switch.
