CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I start the install and get the following error after a few minutes into the install.

-1 - An error has occurred. 
It was not possible to copy the selected file.

I have double check folder permissions.

Any advice would be great!

Comment out the code which checks for the drupal site.  Since on Windows the directory separatory is \ and not /, it complains.

As long as you know that the site is there, it works.

if ( $installType == 'drupal' ) {
    // do not check 'sites/all/modules' only since it could be a multi-site
    // install. Rather check for existance of sites & modules in the url
    //if ( ! preg_match('/sites/[a-zA-Z0-9_.]+/modules/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) ) {
    //    $errorTitle = "Oops! Please Correct Your Install Location".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
    //    $errorMsg = "Please untar (uncompress) your downloaded copy of CiviCRM in the <strong>sites/all/modules</strong> directory below your Drupal root directory. Refer to the online <a href='http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence//x/mQ8' target='_blank' title='Opens Installation Documentation in a new window.'>Installation Guide</a> for more information.<p>If you want to setup / install a <strong>Standalone CiviCRM</strong> version (i.e. not a Drupal or Joomla module), <a href=\"?mode=standalone\">click here</a>.</p>";
    //    errorDisplayPage( $errorTitle, $errorMsg );
    //}
