You can see my versions of Joomla, php, and sql on my profile.

Here are the steps I took. I went to source forge. Downloaded the joomla-alt.zip package.

I then used Filezilla, uploaded to my tmp folder inside my Joomla Install.

I went into Joomla admin panel selected Install, installed from directory (tmp/com_civicrm)

I got a 500 Internal Server Error and refreshed. I got my admin panel back and I could see a change under components. It appeared as if it installed but when I click on anything I get these error messages-

Quote

Warning: include_once(civicrm.settings.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/polar/public_html/demo1/administrator/components/com_civicrm/admin.civicrm.php on line 13

What's my next step?

Missed one step --
after uploading to the tmp folder, you need to unpack the installation zip file.
though it actually seems strange that anything happened (re: the component menu) if that's what happened

the warning message indicates the settings files, which are created and configured during the installation, were not in fact created. that could indicate a permissioning problem.

if you didn't unpack the zip file, then first try to go ahead and unpack it, then uninstall civi from the joomla install tool, and try reinstalling it.

I forgot to add that part- I did unzip them through my cpanel after I uploaded them via Filezilla. I went back to double check and make sure and sure enough I did..but I don't think they installed correctly.

The files are showing on the server as unzipped and in proper directories-

For Admin Side-

administrator> components> com_civicrm> a list of 6 php files and one directory....

For Components-

components> com_civicrm> a list of two php files and one directory...

Hopefully this will help, also permissions? What should they be set to. I wonder if I can change the permissions for the files the error was giving me and be set?

admin.civicrm.php

Thanks, I'll let you know and if you have any other input that would be awesome!

ok, if that's all that was installed on the admin side, sounds like your server can't handle unpacking the admin package as part of the standard install. download the joomla-alt package from the CiviCRM site and walk through the installation again. it should work with that package.

polarweb · April 16, 2009, 07:19:16 pm

Here's a thought...

Here's what I want to try to do-

Make a folder on my desktop-

Name it something like-

-htdocs (this folder's contents will go to my root and the htdocs part be left behind)

Inside this folder I would place my Joomla Folders, Forum Folders, Everything for my site and then, inside the "tmp" place the "civicrm" folders into it then FTP it all unzipped. I would then hit the installation directories one at a time.. deleting install directories as I go, yadda, yadda.

I want to see if that works cause I think it would help CIVICRM. If they made a Joomla+CIVICRM Package that someone could upload via FTP then install from wherever they find its convenient..you wouldn't even need tmp folder anymore!

Wish Me Luck!

Ah, a report- if anyone is listening

Ok, I installed Joomla, SMF, a Rockettheme, and CiviCRM-

I did this just as described in the previous post- Put it all in one file, like it should be on server, and then FTP'd it.

I placed com_civicrm into the tmp folder as it says in documentation- (documentation points out how to install it if you have a Joomla Install already, I did not and went on a limb to see if it would help any by unzipping and placing it into tmp for FTP instead of doing it later)

I had one brief error message- something about xml files not being transferred- I refreshed when I got that message, and then it said-

Install Component Success and for the first time I seen civiCRM.

So, the install went absolutely fantastic..I have only one issue- MyISAM DB, I need INNODB. So now I have a database issue and not a civiCRM issue.

civiCRM- can you make a Joomla+civiCRM that is packed together so that someone could just FTP?

We probably will not support this in the short term, since it would mean we will need to do a repackage and distribution of joomla+civicrm everytime there is a new release of either.

If someone in the community wants to step up and provide this service, we can help them get started

Hi Donald,

I am happy to take care of this. Let me know what way do you want us to go.

I can start a project on SourceForge for the same if you wish.

Regards
Rohit

Donald Lobo · April 20, 2009, 11:35:27 am

You should start a separate sourceforge project for this. You can point people to the download from the forums. You can point folks to that project in your replies to folks who are having joomla install issues

Hey, I would love to volunteer some of my time if it would help yall's out. I think you have a good product here and if I could be help out I will. Let me know what you need and we'll see what we can do

polarweb · April 21, 2009, 11:19:46 pm

Also, do you have a documentation crew going? I would love to help with the installation instructions. If one were to do the method I stated, I could write a doc on-> ( or something worded better)

Fresh Joomla+ civiCRM FTP Install..

Anything to help..

Dave Greenberg · April 22, 2009, 04:28:14 pm

The doc on the wiki is user editable (after you sign up for an account). You could check out the exsting Joomla Installation Guide for formatting conventions and then post your procedure as a "child page" under it:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Joomla+Installation+Guide

polestar · April 29, 2009, 04:31:49 pm

I have got the project registered on sourceforge.net

https://sourceforge.net/projects/joomcivi/

I am going to start with the latest version of Joomla 1.5.9 and latest version of CiviCRM 2.2.0

I'll keep everyone updated on the status!!!

Polarweb, thanks for the support. I'll tell you when the project is ready and we can get the documentation done.
