adds Dependencies into a section
A pre-requisite to [[Importing contacts]], you need to install SugarCRM if you do not already have a working system
== Dependencies for SugarCRM ==
There are some PHP modules that Sugar relies on, so you may want to check for those prior to installing. Sugar is programmed to use the PHP IMAP module for mailing and the PHP CURL module for getting remote files.
<source lang="bash">
php -m | grep -i curl
php -m | grep -i imap
</source>
If those modules are not installed, then you can install them via apt-get
<source lang="bash">
sudo apt-get install php5-curl php5-imap
</source>
== Download and Install SugarCRM ==
# Download SugarCE-5.0.0e.zip (production release) or the later available production release (getting only the application).
# Visit the recommended "Installation" instructions page at http://www.sugarforge.org/content/installation/
# Install SugarCRM according to the instructions. Note: ## The short version is to extract the zip to a place in your webroot <source lang="bash">unzip -d /var/www/ SugarCE-5.1.0a.zip</source>## I immediately ran into trouble because typically use a symbolic link to make the instructions did say application home at a friendly URL and easier to chmod 766 all files manage <source lang="bash">ln -s SugarCE-5.1.0a crm</source># There are a number of directories that needed Sugar expects to have write access to, but they won't be writable by from the web_userunzip. This command renders There are also a couple of configuration files that the directories non-executable which manifests in include errors because the web user (www-data) can not see into those directories (installer needs to be able to write to find includes); namely config. The following snippet is a fix:php and .htaccess# Execute this simple command to prepare your web directory
<source lang="bash">
# find recursively change ownership on the directories and set the sticky bitfor x in the ./crm path and cache custom data modules; do sudo chown -R www-data:www-data $x; sudo chmod -R +t $x; done# change ownership of the mode on them so that all users can execute (see into) the directory configuration filesfind for x in config.php ./crm/ htaccess; do sudo chown www-data:www-type d |xargs chmod a+data $x ; done</source>
