Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help. I'm trying to set up an online sfa database system using Sugar CRM. I've got as far as uploading the zip file, extracting the files & sorting out the permissions, but just cannot get past the next hurdle. Here is what the installation instructions say:

'The system user that your Web server uses to access files in your webroot varies depending on your operating system configuration. Common Web server users include:

apache (Linux/Apache)


nobody (Linux/Apache)


IUSR_computerName (Windows/IIS)

If you are unsure of your web server user, consult your system administrator.

5.
Prior to viewing Sugar through the browser, ensure that file permissions are set for Read/Execute to “includes” directory and “sugar root directory “(in addition to the already existing list of directories/files).


Using the Sugar Setup Wizard
After you copy the Sugar files into your web root, you can use the Sugar Setup Wizard. The Sugar URL http://[FONT=Courier New]<yourServer>/<yourSugarDirectory>/[/FONT]install.php is the URL that you will use to access the Sugar Setup Wizard.

For example: http://localhost/Sugar-Full_5.5.1/install.php'

Now, i've tried every possible comnbination of URL's to access the set up wizard, but nothing seems to work, so i suspect that maybe i'm using the wrong web server user name, or wrong directory details.

Alternatively, if anyone knows of a sfa/crm system that can be installed with just a few clicks, or via Fantastico/Softaculous, do let me know, as Sugar does seem a bit OTT for what i want & runs very slowly if the complicated installation process is successful.

Ta very much!

Newbie persisted with trial & error; mostly error if truth is told! Got there eventually though & Sugar is now installed. It dosn't work, mind you, but that's going to be another thread on another forum by the look of it. .... So this thread can be considered closed
