Far too vauge a question, we'll need more info to really help
I'll give a guess though, are the date and times messed up on your emails?
If so, try reentering your email acountnames and passwords.

I'm guessing he has a similar problem to me:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class DateTime in D:\WWW\SugarCRM\modules\Calendar\DateTime.php on line 29

This is preventing my installation.

Hi, here the reason I can find.

PHP 5.2.0 was release on November 2nd, if you check the Update Info , you'll see that they added two classes :

With the advent of PHP 5.2, there are object representations of the date and
timezone, named DateTime and DateTimeZone respectively. You can see the methods
and constants available to the new classes by running

Sugar tries to declare the class DateTime, hence the error :

[03-Nov-2006 18:07:29] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class DateTime in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SugarSuite\modules\Calendar\Dat eTime.php on line 29

So, there you have it... it seems to be the cause of the problem.

Here's a quick fix I did :

Simply rename all instances of the DateTime class to DateTimeS (or anything else that not used). Don't rename the file DateTime.php and don't rename the conversion to DateTime for the MSSQL DB...

At least, it now allows me to log in.

I have the same problem on an up-to-date Fedora Core4 box.

Since this has been reported a number of times over the last month or so, I wonder, is the variable name going to be officially changed? Or does this just mean I should not look at SugarCRM? Downgrading my PHP is not really an option (that will break other stuff and leave me vulnerable to security issues), and pathcing the code will be a lot of work, plus every time there is an upgrade/bugfix I will be unable to apply it.

Just wondering. SugarCRM seems an ideal option, but only if it works for us, of course.

Please see this thread. We plan to introduce PHP 5.2 support next month after we address the function name conflict that PHP 5.2 introduces..
