I'd like help setting up a path to civicrm_root (Drupal 6/CiviCRM 2.1) The civicrm.setting.php template I have contains this for setting the civicrm_root:
If the path to the CivicSpace or Drupal home directory is /var/www/htdocs/civicspace
 * the $civicrm_root setting would be:
 *      $civicrm_root = '/var/www/htdocs/civicspace/modules/civicrm/';
The text to change is:
$civicrm_root = '/hsphere/local/home/#####/#####/#####/sites/all/modules/civicrm';

I've tried many variations between the first "/" and "/sites/..." None successful. I'd guess there are variation depending on localhost or remote connection (I'm using remote.)

Many thanks for any help.

Kurund,

Thank you for your reply. I've been editing civicrm.settings.php directly, since I don't do line commands (yet?).

My confusion in setting the path is mostly over the difference between using my domain name URL or the hostserver URL. Based on a template I found online, I'm now using: $civicrm_root = '/home/<my_username> (which is also the domain name before .com)/www/www/sites/all/modules/civicrm/';

That does change the result, and now the result is a long error trace ending with: " [nativecode=1146 ** Table '<my_civicrm_database>.civicrm_domain' doesn't exist]"]

So I can't tell if the error is with the _root setting or a problem with the database. Or....

Thanks again,

Doug
