Setting file permissions to make SugarCRM work

[AltTab]

Howdy.

I solved my own problem today and I thought it nice to help you solve yours. If you get the error messeges in Step 2 regarding the "System Check Acceptances", you probably don't have all of the relevant permissions alotted to each file.

What you can do is set all permissions to "777" manually. This will take forever. But go for it if you're ballsy.

If you're a slacker like me, you'll download a program called SecureFX and use it to set all of the file permissions to "777". I'm almost certain that you can use other FTP programs to do this as well, however, in my case, I found this to be the most efficient option readily available.

I hope this helps!

this is what i call "recursive" A must for any ftp application, even if a lot of them don't support this....

Note: the Secure-FX client strategy may be required because of web-hosting limitation on filesystem access -- but -- just in case.....

> chmod -R 777 <path_to_sugar_web_files>

example:
> chmod -R 777 /var/www/html/sugar


Insure you "undo" this for security reasons after upgrade

> chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/sugar
> chmod 440 /var/www/html/sugar/config.php

Note: the perm on config.php important because contains user/pwd of db user (note: admin users will see warning about this upon Sugar login...).
