installation of civicrm with drupal 6

I am also having same problem ,pls suggest how to install civicrm for drupal-6.10.Previously its working fine but when i try on other pc its not working.

i followed the instruction you wrote here but still i failed to install civicrm..it says that i have already installed the civicrm..then i deleted the previous copy of the civicrm bt still the same message comes up..how do deal about it?

Hey you can get all info about civicrm at http://wiki.civicrm.org/ including its installation steps and other details

I need help to install civicrm for drupal-6.10. if any one knows please reply for the same problem.

I followed all the installation guidelines for civicrm and loaded the module in sites/all/modules/civicrm.

After logging in as admin, cleared the cache, I still get page not found error for http://mysite/sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php

There could be something wrong with my setup.. I loaded a small php script (phpinfo.php) into the same install directory. I also got a page-not-found error. I tried other tests, no php scripts can be executed under the modules directory.

My D6 site is running ok otherwise.

are there other setups/config that need to be done?

Thanks.

landscribe, I did the same as you, and Civicrm installed, however, inside the civicrm folder (under sites/all/modules) there is a drupal sub-folder.

This has in it what looks like Drupal install code, plus another sub-folder called modules, which seem to have more Drupal modules. Do you have any idea what these are for, or why they are here? Surely in order for them to work they should be in the sites/all/modules folder of drupal, not the sites/all/modules/civicrm/drupal/modules?

Nairaman,

copy the civicrm folder to sites/all/modules (just like any other module)
then move the install folder from /sites/all/modules/civicrm to /
Edit it using a text editor (NOT word!)
and change:

if ( isset($_GET['mode']) ) {
    $_SESSION['install_type'] = $_GET['mode'];
} else {
    if (! isset($_SESSION['install_type'])) {
        $_SESSION['install_type'] = "drupal";
    }
}

to

$_SESSION['install_type'] = "drupal";

then change

$crmPath = dirname ( dirname( $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ) );

to

$crmPath = [path to your civicrm folder. It will be something like: public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm ]

and you should be ok.

I should have replied earlier as I installed CiviCRM two times before with a Bluehost account. As this is the major thread on Google, it could be usefull for others to post my solution here:

* download the CiviCRM package for Drupal, upload and extract in the sites/all/modules directory;

* copy the civicrm.settings.php.drupal from the drupal directory within the civicrm module, to the sites/default dir. Be sure the dir has temporary write permissions. Rename the file to civicrm.settings.php ;

* http :// yoursite.xxx /sites/all/modules/civicrm/install/index.php => gets you to the civicrm install; use you existing drupal database or create a seperate database with select of the drupal databse and user first to be able to continue; see instructions on that page and elsewhere; see also the differences between the same database and a seperate one elsewhere;

OK, I continue with my real time example of an existing drupal install upgrading with a civicrm separate database (there is some discussion about separate or joined databases like some advanced drupal features):

-Create new database for civicrm in Cpanel (on my hostaccount);
-Create new database user;
-Add this user to the civicrm database; I gave all privileges, but maybe some can be omitted?;
-Add this user also to the drupal database but only give "select" permissions;
-Fill in the database and user details + passwords for the civicrm and drupal database users on the civicrm install page; I had to look up my drupal database user password in sites/default/settings.php. This was a bit tricky as I have some password characters transformed to ascii hx codes, so I had part of it to decode http://www.asciitable.com/ (otherwise make a new drupal password and fill it in on both places);

=> all OK => installing => "CiviCRM has been successfully installed"

Then to the drupal modules page and vinking all sub-modules on.

CiviCRM shows up in my admin menu and askes for setting up my dashborad. Ofcourse I had opted for loading all the graphival data and examples during the CiviCRM setup. In permission one can give other users permission. But I remember from last time that this can´t be done for anonymous users (pitty for a demo site for anonymous users) and can even give error messages.
