CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

When I run the Joomla install for 2.1.4 as per:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Joomla+Installation+Guide

I get
"Cannot open /var/www/vhosts/EXAMPLE.com/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php"

The settings file isn't in the dir.
I can add it manually, but I don't have an example of what it should be so I'm stuck.

I tried adding it to the installation directory before the install and still no effect.
com_installer/com_civicrm/admin/civicrm.settings.php

Civi doesn't load because it doesn't know where to find things...missing the settings.

Help?
Is there a sample of this file somewhere I can copy and edit?


administrator/com_civicrm
/civicrm
/admin.civicrm.php
/configure.php
/install.civicrm.php
/toolbar.civicrm.html.php
/toolbar.civicrm.php
/uninstall.civicrm.php

I have the same problem.  During installation the message 'Cannot open /var/www/vhosts/sobocc.org/httpdocs/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php' appears alone on a page.  The database tables are created and the component is partially created.  If one goes to the admin interface, and clicks Extensions -> Install/Uninstall -> Components the CivicCRM is Listed, Enabled, with NO Version     Date     Author and Compatibility is Checked.  The file 'civicrm.settings.php' is nowhere to be found, even in the original install files.  My guess is that this file is created on the fly and there are permission problems in creating it.
