Oops! Please Correct Your Install Location

What url you had tried to visit when you got this message ?

Expected format is - http://<your_drupal_home>/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

( In case you don't know, install doc is here - http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Drupal+Installation+Guide )

http://localhost/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/

hmm, no idea why its not working in your case. Someone with installation experience on WAMP could help you out. OR you can debug installation script (civicrm/install/index.php) to figure out where/why its failing.

I'm having the same problem (and I'm losing enough hair on my own without tearing it out over this).
Please tell me what you mean by "I put my Drupal install inside a Drupal directory...". Do you mean you set up a Site named Drupal or a directory under htdocs? It would help if you could give the full path from the domain name (in my case, "localhost"). If this works, it will make my day. Right now, if I have a CiviCRM folder in either the Sites/All or Sites/Default directories I get the White Screen of Death if I even try to go to Administer/Modules/list. Thanks for lowering my blood pressure.

I'm using xampp on win xp pro had the same problems of the error page showing even though the un-tarred files were in the correct location. To work around it I commented out the conditional check in the install/index.php to show the error page - I only have a single site installation so this worked fine and allowed me to proceed with the auto install.

Let me know if you need more details on which lines I' edited out.

Erik - your location looks fine to me. Try editing out these lines in your /sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

Edit out lines 54 to 63. As follows...

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( "/" . preg_quote('sites' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) .
                  //     "([a-zA-Z0-9_.]+)" .
                  //     preg_quote(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'modules', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) . "/",
                  //     $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ) ) {
       // $errorTitle = "Oops! Please Correct Your Install Location";
      //  $errorMsg = "Please untar (uncompress) your downloaded copy of CiviCRM in the <strong>" . implode(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, array('sites', 'all', 'modules')) . "</strong> directory below your Drupal root directory. Refer to the online " . $docLink . " 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 );
   // }
}

Hi using SCRIPT_FILENAME i get C:/xampp/htdocs/powercookies.com/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/rb1.php

With rb1.php being the file name I used to put the script call. The location of where the file is living in the server and the filename response are the same.

Hope this is what you are after..

Hi,

Hi
I just had the same problem on a WAMP installation, and instead of commenting the code in index.php between lines 54 to 63, I resolved it by changing the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR by '/'.
In fact on Windows it is '\' so the condition (to be in a directory named "sites" or "modules") was not checked.
Maybe a correction to do in the file index.php for Windows?

what is the right place to change the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR ?
