Hi,

I am a newbie to SuagrCRM . I installed the entire Open Source Stack(Bitrock Linux Installer (70.48 MB BIN)) on a linux machine.By default it was installed in /opt/suagrcrm-3.5.1 directory.How do i access sugarcrm now???I am using the following url :
http://myserver/opt/sugarcrm3.5.1 but it does not seem to work?
Am i missing something??
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Are Apache/MySQL started?
Check Apache's DocumentRoot dir (grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/httpd.conf)
In my case it's /var/www/localhost/htdocs. sugarcrm was unpacked there there into sugarcrm directory. So on my local machine I just type:
http://localhost/sugarcrm/index.php

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I managed to start apache using the following : lampctl.sh start apache (located in /opt/sugarcrm-3.5.1/commom/bin/ directory.)When i started mysql, the following error was thrown:
./lampctl.sh :mysql started
chown ':mysql' : invalid user
Starting mysqld daemon with databse from /opt/sugarcrm3.5.1/mysql/data
Stopping SErver from pifd file : /opt/sugarcrm3.5.1/mysql/data/myserver/pid XXXX mysqld ended.

What am i missing ??I am logged in as root

Also, the installation wizard complained of the following:

Writable SugarCRM Configuration File (config.php) Warning: Not Writeable
Writable Custom Directory Not Writeable
Writable Modules Sub-Directories and Files Not Writeable
Writable Data Sub-Directories Not Writeable
Writable Cache Sub-Directories Not Writeable

Where are these directories located so that their permissions can be modified??

Sorry, if this is a novice question.

Thanks in advance

Directories are in your sugarcrm dir in Apache's DocumentRoot (somewhere in /opt/sugarcrm3.5.1/apache/htdocs in your case, I guess). The simplest is to try chmod -R a+w /path/to/your/htdocs/sugarcrm/ Then check if the installer make proper permissions on all files and directories of sugarcrm. If no, remove write-to-all manually.
Before doing that backup that sugarcrm dir.

Also, you possibly may need to be in mysql group. If so, type `groups' to check. If no, type `gpasswd -a user group' where `user' is desired user for mysql.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice....got it up and running.Though, i still have issues with accessing phpMyAdmin .
As per the Bitrock manual, this can be accessed by :
http://127.0.0.1 : port number/phpmyadmin.

When i type the above url, it can't find the page.Although, if it type : htp://myserverort/phpmyadmin, it dispalys the following error message

Only requests from 127.0.0.1 are allowed access to this section. Please refer to the LAMPStack userguide for more details.

Editing the config file also, does not help.

Anyything i am missing????

Thanks in advance

The phpMyAdmin application is by default protected so it can only be accessed from the localhost. To change this, you can edit /opt/sugarcrm-3.5.1/apache/conf/httpd.conf and change :

Allow from 127.0.0.1

to include the IP address of your machine. Alternatively, you can remove it and rely on just username and password for protection (username is 'administrator', password the one you supplied during installation)

Hope this helps

Hi Daniel,

I modified the config file with the ip address of my machine but it still gives the same error.
Also, removing it/commenting it throws the same error.

Anything that i am missing???

Try:

http://127.0.0.1:PORT/phpmyadmin/

Note the trailing '/'. There's an issue with a misconfigured apache installation using IP addresses rather than it's given FQDN.

Sorry....did not work.

Any other ideas ???
