CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi,

I've been following the install from SVN instructions.  http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installing+CiviCRM+from+subversion+%28SVN%29+repository

Have made some updates that I thought it was bringing your attention to seeings as this is only my second time doing an SVN install.  I haven't written all of them here (but you can do a diff on the wiki page).

I still have some unanswered questions.

Can you explain the significance of these lines a bit more?  Are they still necessary?

If using Drupal, be sure to set define( 'CIVICRM_UF_FRONTEND', 0 )
'Note that the tpl file is a template markup file."

Also at the end of the file it used to say now follow manual install instructions.  They were a bit out of date and HUGE! so I decided to remove the reference and just add the final steps on this page as there are only a couple!

I still referenced the manual install process but assume that it is a bit defunct now.

1. CIVICRM_UF_FRONTEND was never used for drupal but is still needed for Joomla. In general it is safe to initialize it and have it set to 0

2. incorporating the manual process into that page is a good thing

3. if you dont want any sample data, u need to load: civicrm.mysql and civicrm_data.mysql

4. if you want the sample data, u need to load: civicrm.mysql and civicrm_generated.mysql
