Howto install SugarCRM 6.5

Hello friends,

yet another CRM install howto:

Prerequisites

yum install nethserver-mysql nethserver-php

Get the mysql root password for later use:

Set UploadMaxFilesize to a minimum of 7 MB, a value less than 7 makes SugarCRM complain about it…

config setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 7M

You have to add a cronjob to run the Sugar schedulers. This may be done via command line or web UI with crontab manager.

Super cool, is it compatible with 6.9 or 7.3 or both?

Just tried with 7.3…
But it should be compatible because it just runs next to Nethserver at the moment and just php and mysql needed…when I manage to test it, I’ll give you report…
