CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi

Like everyone else, I have been waiting for a version of CIVICRM that was compatible with Joomla 1.5.3.  However, I have scoured this forum for all possible solutions, and all of them keep generating the same message in the subject line.  I am trying to install the Alpha Release, 2.1

I have followed the installation instructions to the tee, and have even gone to the troubles of manually extracting the package into its different directories, but I am still getting message.  I am aware that this message is usually indicative of an incorrect path, but once again, I have gone to the log path bit and made sure it was the correct path, but still no joy.

Here are my stats:
PHP Built on:  Linux web171.extendcp.co.uk 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:58:04 EST 2007 i686

I don't want to sound too desperate, but I run an event planning business and I am currently using SugarCRM which I am not happy with as it is slow cumbersome, and difficult to access for my partners outside the UK.  CivicCRM would be the perfect solution for me as I would be able to access all information from one site, so it is really important that I get this.  I am fairly good with technical stuff, but I think on this occasion, I need someone to talk me through this step by step, please...............................

I am really begging, please help.....................

Thank you so much.....................it worked.  I would never have figured that out without your help.  Before I disappear, I am trying to now change my Resource URL so that my CSS settings work, and the panel looks tidy, but it is not working.  I have once again looked on the forum and most solutions seem to be for Drupal, and the Online Documentation gives Drupal examples as well: 

This is the URL I am putting

http://zarmani-events.com/home/sites/public_html/home/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/css/

and I have also tried

 http://www.zarmani-events.com/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/

Should be:
http://zarmani-events.com/home/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/

(you have joomla installed in a subdirectory)

Am new to all of this but having same trouble, through Netfirms.  I have, I think, entered the complete path, but get the "please enter package directory result."  Could there be any other reason the directory would not be registering?

I unzipped on my hard drive, then loaded to server through Filezilla, as this was suggested my Netfirms.  Going to try again later today.  Would it have made a difference that I loaded Filezilla client rather than Filezilla server?  I loaded client, for no good reason other than I don't know what I'm doing yet.  Thanks for your help on this.

Hi Brian,
Wonder you can help me in this. I recently tried using the Import Contacts in CiviCRM2.2/Joomla1.5.9 from a .csv file.
To overcome the JSON.PHP error, I commented the lines 321 and 332 in Parser.php. It was able to import around 120 contacts though with DB error. However 2nd time its unable to import around 1008 contacts.
This error happens after the step 3 

    * √1. Choose Data Source     * √2. Match Fields    * »3. Preview    * 4. Summary
which generates following 500 Internal Server Error.
