I am trying to install drupal Commons from acquia, every time I try to install i get an error which says

Installing Commons

The installation has encountered an error.
Please continue to the error page
An error occurred. http://localhost/common/commons/install.php?locale=&profile=drupal_commons&id=1&op=do <br /> <b>Fatal error</b>: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required './profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/context/plugins/context_condition_context.inc' (include_path='.;C:\Documents and Settings\jkancher\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\php\pear\') in <b>C:\Documents and Settings\jkancher\My Documents\Downloads\xampp\htdocs\common\commons\profiles\drupal_commons\modules\contrib\ctools\includes\plugins.inc</b> on line <b>747</b><br />

I am using XAMPP on my home computer. I tried with different versions of PHP(5.2.9 and 5.3) but still no luck.

Please let me know if any of you ahd the same installation issue and was successful in installing it.

It means that the file PHP is trying to include (./profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/context/plugins/context_condition_context.inc) isn't found, or the web server doesn't have sufficient permissions to read it.

Check in /profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/context/plugins/ to make sure that the context_condition_context.inc file exists and that the web server can read it (shouldn't really be an issue using XAMPP).

Some people have reported seeing some strange file extensions being added to the context_condition_context.inc file which causes Drupal not to find it. You can find one such report here.

Hope that helps

  • The file does not exist. but it exists in a different location. shall i just copy the file to this location ? – Jayaram Oct 14 '11 at 15:09
  • I even tried copying the file to the other location, but it did not work out. – Jayaram Oct 14 '11 at 15:14
  • You could do but it might be better to grab fresh copy of commons and chuck the whole `profiles` folder back in just in case there's anything else missing. Try the single file first though just in case, you never know! – Clive Oct 14 '11 at 15:15

    Is drupal commons installation similar to drupal ? or is there anything else that I need to do before starting the commons installation ? – Jayaram Oct 14 '11 at 15:28
  • Yep the core code is exactly the same, it's the `drupal_commons` profile that provides the extras to make it a Commons installation – Clive Oct 14 '11 at 15:30
  • I tried doing the whole thing again, but i still have the same issue, I wonder if I'm making a mistake and if there is any additional step that I'm missing from the normal drupal installation. – Jayaram Oct 14 '11 at 15:42
  • There's a [full guide here](http://commons.acquia.com/wiki/installing-drupal-commons), maybe that will help shed some light? – Clive Oct 14 '11 at 15:50
  • Thanks for that, but now I get a different error... now it says An error occurred. Please try reinstalling again. Please continue to the error page An error occurred. http://localhost/drup6/commons/install.php?locale=&profile=drupal_commons&id=2&op=do

I've had problems the first time I tried to install Commons locally, changing the PHP memory limit solved it... Hope this helps!

  • Can you provide me an exact procedure of how to install commons, i'm pretty new to drupal and its a lot confusing to me. – Jayaram Oct 17 '11 at 02:03
  • As far as I remember the procedure is no different from a standard Drupal install. The only extra step I had to do was to increase the memory limit in PHP. For this , you simply need to find the php.ini file of the PHP version you're using and increase the "memory_limit" value to something like 96M. – PatrickS Oct 17 '11 at 02:17
  • yup now it works fine, I was increasing the max execution time till now, but it worked after i changed the memory limit. thanks for the hint.. – Jayaram Oct 17 '11 at 14:50
