Messed up CSS after clean install?

WoaaaH, this script really fixed all my issues.. Thank you for such a great script.

Thanks Stefan.

Here is a script I adapted, to reset permissions so that Sugar can run on typical shared hosting.

The challenge this code overcomes is that the apache user is different from the shared hosting user's account, so permissions need to be looser for Sugar webserver and php interpreter (running as the apache username) to have permission to read the Sugar PHP source code files, CSS/javascript, and graphic image files (which belong to the customer's shared hosting account username).

Note: This code resets all the SugarCRM PHP source code, CSS, Javascript, and image files, located inside selected SugarCRM subdirectories, according to the recommendation of Clint on this thread: http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/f3/in...89/index2.html

You can save this PHP code file to the top folder of your SugarCRM installation.

For example: for company.com with a SugarCRM instance located at: www . company . com / crm (remove spaces), you would upload this PHP code file to the location on your shared server account with the pathname being something like: "/home/(share hosting account username)/public_html/crm/fix-permissions.php".

Once uploaded, to run the PHP script, just go in your browser to the link http : // www . company . com / crm / fix-permissions.php (once again...remove spaces)

The Script will run, and as it runs, it will display a list the files and directories it's fixing the permissions of.

I am so freaking excited!!!! Thank you! This really needs to be part of the installation instructions and the file included in the download!!! Bravo!

Yup, fixed all my issues as well, well done for putting this together. the only question I have is this.

I ran the script, all looked perfect. I went to admin and uploaded a replacement logo, looked good. Saved and no logo is appearing in the header. I am assuming if I run the script it will again fix this issue, so the question is do I need to run this script every 5 mins?

You're right - that early version requires you to run it every few minutes...

I'm nearly done with "fix-permissions-v3.php" - it's meant to fix the issue permanently.

I'm attaching "fix-permissions-v3-alpha.php" - it automatically does phases I and II of the fix, and shows you what to do for phase III - you just have to open 2 files and make 2 very small edits.

Post back and let us know if my script fixed it permanently for you !!!!

I signed up just to thank you. You are simply amazing. The code worked beautifully. We had been killing ourselves before for hours and couldn't get the permissions thing right despite trying all recursive codes and changes in PHP.

So thank you for being a life saver.

You're totally welcome, jagdecat. I'm sure you'd do the same for me, given a similar situation.

Note to mods, this post should probably be a sticky - so more people installing on shared hosting, will get my script faster, and the infamous permissions issues.... become a non-issue... permanently.

I used Angel's Blog and was able to fix everything but the logo after applying 755 recursively to the cache folder through FileZilla. I saw that someone else was having trouble with their logo after this. Did you ever get it fixed? If so, how? I am running Sugar CE 6.4.4. I have replaced the company_logo.png file in custom/themes/default/images and in include/images. I set the permissions on both of these folders to 755 recursively as well, but no luck displaying the logo. If I try to upload it through the admin section, it shows the logo, but it doesn't upload after hitting save. One more thing, when I go back to the admin section after the failed upload attempt, it tells me my current logo is $mod_strings.LBL_LOGO. Can anyone help on this? I have spent a few hours reading through posts trying to find the answer, so I have done my due diligence. Thanks!
