Installing Sugar in CPANEL

[rbabich]

I have been trying to install Sugar on a hosted Cpanel for two weeks and still get the dreaded Writable Session Save Path not a valid directory. I have tried the htaceess modification, wrote to my provider about the php.ini and at this point have given up hope. But, I really would like to see it up and running. If anyone has had success with a Cpanel instlall can you drop me a line. I would be forever in your debt.

I was having the same problem and I have decided to go with siteground for my hosting, I think it is well worth the 4.95 per month and they will install the script for you free, as well as install a copy of CRELoaded if you need it.

and the customer service is amazing, as soon as you place your order you chat with someone online to setup your account, I was up in 5 min and able to upload my site files.

I agree with Bill, almost every install problem releated to permissions or session paths has that dreaded term 'CPanel' in the message somewhere.

I had the same problem, so I went into the file install.php to line ~ 294

if(!empty($_SESSION['setup_site_custom_session_path']) && $_SESSION['setup_site_session_path'] != ''){
if(is_dir($_SESSION['setup_site_session_path'])){
if(!is_writable($_SESSION['setup_site_session_path'])){
$errors[] = 'Session directory provided is not a writable directory.';
}
}
else {
$errors[] = 'Session directory provided is not a valid directory.';
}
}

and comment some of the if else statement out. I don't know if this is a good solution but Sugar installed fine and works fine now.

Can I PLEASE get a copy of your install.php file??!?!?!?!

Mr. KnifeGuy®,

Attached is the checkSystem.php. Please overide it in install/checkSystem.php. Please notice that this file is for version 4.0.1. I simply removed lines 373-403. Let me know if it works for you.
