Just some tips I used to install

This seems to satify the install requiements and some others later when changing the config a little.
cd ../sugarcrm folder
# chmod -R 777 config.php data/ modules/ cache/ custom/ include/ themes/

I watch the error_log looking for errors as you are making changes to website:
tail -f /var/log/httpd/crm-error_log
I guess you could use something like this if you didn't specify a seperate error_log
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log | grep sugarcrm

I found it a lot easier to watch for a problem, than wonder if what I was changing actually was working.

Never ever use 777 on anything... 755 at most. Here is a document detailing how to set up your permissions and owners.

The log thing is always a good idea tho...
