Hi,

I am attempting to install the CIS distrubution.

First, I had thought it was a module and attempted to install it as a module. This of course did not work.
I am now attempting to install it as a distribution of drupal. However, it is giving me a few errors.

When I start the install process, it asked me if I wish to install a standard drupal or the CIS version. I chose the CIS version.
Then it displays an information screen.
There is an error at the top.

Notice: Undefined index: value in theme_status_report() (line 2572 of D:\opt\websites\cis\modules\system\system.admin.inc).
Notice: Undefined index: value in theme_status_report() (line 2572 of D:\opt\websites\cis\modules\system\system.admin.inc).

It asked me to install views_field_calc module which is not listed on drupal.org but I found it on github.
https://github.com/zivtech/views_field_calc
And this made the error for this one go away.

Then it asks me to install Entity Reference or Reference modules.

Error
Node reference module
You need a module to reference content. Use either Entity reference or References.

Error
User reference module
You need a module to reference users. Use either Entity reference or References.

This is a problem because the database has not been setup yet. I copied the modules into sites/all/modules but to no avail.

How can I get this to install?

Thanks,
Mike

Have you tried the latest dev or that alpha build? There are some patches that have been applied I believe to correct all of these issues, I'll double-check if you did get dev.

Similar problems. When I get the dev version, then the references dependencies (and a dependency on LDAP error) go away. But, now I get an error thrown after the modules install but before I can set up the site:

"Invalid field name given: field_sections is not a Field Collection field."

Any clue?

which modules are claiming to be required and preventing the install? I just pushed the current state of some features and other things to dev (a few minutes ago) which may take care of the field collection issue, we'll see. LDAP should no longer be required and the references issue should also be resolved. If not can you give me a screenshot of what you are experiencing? I've been working a lot on the site after creation and done very little about debugging install at this point.

Version: 7.x-1.0-alpha1 » 7.x-1.x-dev
Status: Active » Fixed

added the sandbox project into the cis distro. It's very small and really doesn't need sycned up with the originating project at this point so it's not a big deal. So the OP is solved.

Also, the issue you mentioned I was able to track down to a problem with nested field collections in the Features module definition
#1649548: Setting default values in Content Types -> [content type] -> [field collection field] -> edit causes incorrect Features export

There is a solution way down the comment thread and I was able to install the distro after doing this. This has been pushed into dev. CIS isn't complete but this will certainly help at least get the packaging correct.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I'm still having this problem with beta5 and the dev version. I keep getting the Use either Entity reference or References message even though both modules are in the modules directory.

CIS is part of a larger package -- https://github.com/btopro/elmsln

d.o. license issues prevent it from being built fully OOTB here so it's about as optimized as far as it can be here w.o. manual intervention. Installation of the full learning network from github does not have this issue and is heavily tested.

Thanks, but I had even more issues with trying to get the full learning network installed. It was trying to do things like connect with random passwords to the database server, ignoring the mysql host settings and trying to use localhost. I've installed all the other distributions separately, it's just CIS that I am struggling with.

if you've had issues installing ELMSLN please file a report to a queue (this one works). We've installed many ELMSLN instances at this point so if there's install instructions or parts that can be made easier in setup please file a ticket and I'll work to resolve those. Host OS is important too since we've had the greatest reported success on RHEL6.x or CentOS
