Autostart launch SugarCRM (Ubuntu 8.10)

[prexecom]

Hi

I experience the same error message once installed with: FastStack Linux Installer 5.1.0b

Back in '07 it would seem that rwise29210 had a similar problem: re can't connect to 127.0.0.1]

More specifically:

Failed to Connect: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080

I can get into Sugarcrm in a roundabout way similar to rwise typing in terminal:

/home/[my folder instead]/sugarcrm-5.1.0b/sugarctl.sh start
then launching SugarCRM in Firefox

I reiterate rewise '07 question here. Why can't SugarCRM start automatically now in Ubuntu 8.10?

Hmmm no

Sorry this doesn't work for me, as a Linux newbie. My goal is a one button access to SugarCRM, which I assume comprises these two lines:

/home/mike-reardon/sugarcrm-5.1.0b/sugarctl.sh start
http://127.0.0.1:8080/sugarcrm/index...n_action=index

One starts sugarcrm as I understand and the other takes me to the login page within Firefox. I can get in from there.

How do I make this happen simply put at my choosing? I don't want it to open SugarCRM on boot up, as this Wordpress links seems to suggest. I also didn't have rights to save to the file in question, even though I'm the only user on my laptop. Plus I'm not sure how this is easy. I'm not looking to be a programmer but a user. Is it possible for someone to create a standard file to drop in somewhere, so that I can into SugarCRM and work?

Well, I suppose I'm taking the job of your IT guy but OK:

You should put the .sh script in a startup folder like my previous link explains. this makes sure that sugar runs (it needs these processes but you won't see it).

Then, you could create a shortcut on your desktop to a script, that states:

firefox http://127.0.0.1:8080/sugarcrm

This line starts firefox and points it to your SugarCRM install.

Alternatively, you could put the .sh script line above this one, and by doing so, execute the startup script every time you click this shortcut. This will make the startup script run, even if Sugar is already running. This could cause problems if the script doesn't check for this. Also, it would take more time to load after you click the shortcut. So that's why it's better to put the .sh script in a system startup folder.

should work.

Okay

What IT guy. Its a small company.

It does work sort of. I got the sh part off and running. Still fiddling with the firefox code part with your last post. I can at least get going tomorrow. Thanks

I assumed that your browser is firefox. If you have another one, you can replace firefox with the name of that program.

It is and I got it to work. It is now on my panel doing its thing. Thanks for the help in the right direction
