Joomla post-install Fatal Error

[Lycofron]

Hi,

I am trying to install CiviCRM in Joomla 1.0.12 in my own test server. After following in every detail steps described in installation guide, installation was successful. But, when I try to go to "CiviCRM Home" all I get is the following:

Code: [Select]


Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

Please review the CiviCRM Installation Guide and try searching the CiviCRM Mailing List Archives for information on the error below.

Error Details:

[pear_error: message="" code=135853504 mode=callback callback=CRM_Core_Error::handle prefix="" info=""]

I have no other clue, so far, to find out what's happening. I followed instructions about open_basedir, without success. I searched in google, but could not find any information.

What can be happenin?

Thank you in advance.

Which version of CiviCRM are you using? Do you have access to httpd server's error logs and can check there for potential clues?

Thx,

Hi,

I tried to install civicrm-1.7.9821-joomla for php5.

Unfortunately, errors_log did not log anything at all about com_civicrm.

I attach my server's phpinfo output.

PS. I am trying this test installation in order to set it up on a real site next week.

Thank you for your reply.

You might want to search the forums and also read this thread:

for potential reasons and ways of getting this to work

Hi,

I followed the procedure described in this thread, in every detail. I even performed the installation on a separate test domain (previous installation was on a subdirectory). Still, the same problem persists.

On the same installation, I tried to edit civicrm.settings.php manually (changed joomla version to 1.0.12 and MySQL version to 5.0). Still nothing.
I then tried to set RG_EMULATION to 1, register_globals to ON and magic_quotes to OFF. Still, I get the same fatal error.
And no relevant messages in errors_log.

Does it need to have register_globals ON during installation?

[Donald Lobo]

no, u dont need register globals. would be great if you could spend time and help us debug and resolve this issue. please post back if u make progress on this

thanx

OK, after setting error output to E_ALL (incl. notices) I get the following:

Notice: Undefined index: q in /var/www/civicrm.dev/htdocs/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Smarty.php on line 131

OK, seems that gentoo has an issue with PEAR and, though I thought it was there, in fact it wasn't. Now I am trying to convince my test server  to install it, but it will take some time. I' ll let you know!

[Lycofron]

OK, everything up and running.

Sorry for making you worry and thank you for your willingness to support!
