Linux Upgrade on Our Servers

We would like to inform you that we will be upgrading the operating system (Debian GNU/Linux) on all our servers from the current release Buster to the new stable release Bullseye. The upgrade process has already begun and will be completed in stages over the next few weeks. Several servers have already been successfully upgraded to the new Debian version. This upgrade will not affect most sites and software, but still, there are several important points you should have in mind and address if necessary: PHP and MySQL versions will not be updated with the OS upgrade, which means that popular software (such as WordPress, Drupal, OpenCart, Joomla, etc.) should… Read More

CiviCRM and Drupal 10

As of this writing (January 4, 2023) it’s not possible to install CiviCRM normally on Drupal 10. There is this script: https://lab.civicrm.org/-/snippets/84 that claims to do it, but we tried that and it failed. Instead, we are installing Drupal 9.5.0 with CiviCRM for now, using this: composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:9.5.0 . composer require civicrm/civicrm-{core,packages,drupal-8}:’~5.56′ until the install procedure will be fixed for Drupal 10. . UPDATE: Now it works. See CiviCRM Works with Drupal 10.

Domain Name Price Change

CiviHosting has always offered domain name registration at cost, meaning we make zero profit. Due to rising costs, and credit card processing fees, we are going to have to change that policy and raise our prices a bit. This change will take affect sometime soon after October 15th, 2022. We unfortunately do not yet know what the new prices will be precisely. The good news is that you still have 30 days to renew your domain name(s) at the current price. You can do that through your Client Area login, which is available through your hosting Control Panel under “Marketplace.”

CiviMobile and Drupal 9

Out of the box, CiviMobile for CiviCRM does not work in Drupal 9. The REST API and Path will fail. This is because certain fails that CiviMobile “expects” are not in place. There is a solution to this here: https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/39730/civimobile-only-shows-events but it didn’t work for us. It almost did, but we needed to make a few changes. Here is how we got this to work: Comment out the line “RewriteRule “^(.+/.*|autoload)\.php($|/)” – [F]” from .htaccess in web root (note this gets overwritten when you use “composer require”). Created web/libraries/civicrm/core/civicrm.config.php file by copying it from https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-drupal/blob/7.x-master/civicrm.config.php.drupal copied the directory vendor/civicrm/civicrm-core/extern to web/libraries/civicrm/core. Edited civicrm.config.php and added the following at line 86:… Read More
