==First I downloaded the source Download and Install SugarCRM ==# I went to the [http://sugarcrm.com SugarCRM homepage], and clicked the top navbar link to "Sugar Open Source"# I skipped the "Wizard" and went right to the "Download Page" because I know what I'm doing and also have a pre-existing setup of Linux, Apache MySQL and PHP - so I only want the appapplication
# I downloaded SugarCE-5.0.0e.zip (production release)
# I visited the recommended "Installation" instructions page at http://www.sugarforge.org/content/installation/
# Then I installed it according to the instructions, however I immediately ran into trouble because the instructions did say to chmod 766 all files that needed to be writable by the web_user.
# This command renders the directories non-executable which manifests in include errors because the web user (www-data) can not see into those directories (to find includes). The following snippet is a fix:
<source lang="bash">
# find directories in the ./crm path and change the mode on them so that all users can execute (see into) the directory
resolved the include errors
The instructions also fail to mention that the application wants to create a .htaccess file (which doesn't exist in the distribution and would not necessarily be writable to the web user. As a failsafe, the information is printed to the screen in the installer. However it doesn't properly display (lacking newline characters) which would make so the content is not suitable for copy and paste into the file. I found resorted to the source which generates the .htaccess content, and used that. An alternative is to simply touch and chmod 777 a .htaccess file '''prior ''' to running the installer; and then chmod'ing it go=r after install.
== Ideas on How to do the import ==
=== Existing Work ===
My first instinct was is always to find info about somebody doing this before (e.g. APIs, Documentation, forum questions, Wikis)
I searched the wiki for importing or APIs and quickly found the SOAP Intro and Practical Examples, so I figured I was onto a fast track.
