CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

OK ... I deleted the entire site along with drupal and reinstalled.  This time I'm using MYSQL database 5.0.81.  Last time I use the following steps to install civcrm:


• step 1.   Uploaded the civicrm zip file in the modules folder
• Step 2.  Extract the civicrm folder
• Step 3.  Went to Drupal and discovered that the Modules was ready for Enabling in the Modules Section
• Step 4.  Enabled the civicrm modules that allowed enabling

After doing those 4 steps I received the errors in my first post.  So I deleted the folder and started over after doing some research on this site and on the net.

Ok.. now I reinstalled Drupal 6.14

I'm using the MySQL 8.0.14 instead of the Postgre Database
Everything working fine this is what it looks like now at the moment:

Ok so next I uploaded the civicrm file again to the modules folder:


• Step 2. I extracted the civicrm file in the modules folder
• Step 3. Clicked on the Civicrm folder in the module folder

[li ]Step 4. Found install folder and clicked on it [/li]
[li] Step 5. Found index.php in the install folder so I clicked on it[/li]
[/list]

The following error resulted after those steps:

Oops! Incorrect Drupal Version
This version of CiviCRM can only be used with Drupal 6.x. Please ensure that '/home/treas1/public_html/modules/system/system.module' exists if you are running Drupal 6.0 and over. Refer to the online http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installation+and+Upgrades for information about installing CiviCRM.

The error is basically saying I have the wrong Drupal Version that I need Drupal 6.x

here is the actual link as of 9/18/2009 10:09 pm:
http://www.arktribes.com/noahsites/exchange/modules/civicrm/install/index.php


The error is also saying to look in a certain file and see if it exist.  I'm noticing at this exact moment that the folder it is referring to is not located in Public-html but in a subfolder of noahsites/exchange/modules.

So next Im going to create the location and move the file from one location to the next.

Should I do that or should i install the civicrm file in a different folder other than the modules folder?
In other words where did I go wrong and what do I do from here.


The answer to that question is in the Oops Error message

the message say go to:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Installation+and+Upgrades

So i went found the installation instructions. It says I did everything right. Except their modules folder is in a folder called all.:

Now I am confused.  But it is almost obvious that i should create a copy of the modules folder and paste it in the public_html folder:

modules/system/system.module.  So imma make a copy of the modules folder and place it in the Public_html folder so it will look like this.

 /home/treas1/public_html/modules/system/system.module as stated in the error message.

OH NOOOOOO!!!!!

It worked... The screen with the two red bars across it appeared and they are asking for the database credentials.

Why did I say OH NOOOOOOO!!!
 

This is why I have two modules folders now with all the modules in them (Preinstalled) and the civicrm module in both folders.

my current url is http://www.arktribes.com/noahsites/exchange/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

this problem can be corrected maybe by having the index.php file here in this url point to the first modules folder:

Why the first module folder and not the second one.

When you upload a zip file to the first one and extract it.  That file registers in that folder.  We have to update the index.php file at this location. modules/civicrm/install/index.php to point to http://mysite.com/mysubdomain(drupalfolder)/modules/civicrm/install/index.php
Thats the solution.  I guest I will mess around with this current civicrm-3.0.beta4-drupal.tar till the next one comes out with this correction in it hopefully.

This is a solution thanks for your patience.
