Installing SugarCRM on Bluehost
Mon, Nov 16, 2009Here’s my experience installing SugarCRM on Bluehost.
1 – Uploaded contents of SugarCRM CE after downloading it from Sugar’s site.
2 – Browsed to root of directory.
3 – Ran install.
4 – Failure occurred: The session.save_path setting in your php configuration file (php.ini) is not set or is set to a folder which did not exist. You might need to set the save_path setting in php.ini or verify that the folder sets in save_path exist.
5 – Attempted to modify the PHP.ini settings with .htaccess. This just seemed to break PHP in general in that subdirectory, so I abandoned that effort (I’m sure it was something simple).
6 – Umcommented/Modified the PHP.ini session.save_path setting to be /home/USERNAME/tmp
7 – This STILL made no difference, so I commented out the entire part of the /install/installSystemCheck.php file that checks these kinds of things.. that allowed the install, and I’ve had no issues since.
8 – Setup the DB and DB user, and proceeded on to the next step. Attempted to use default settings, however I received “The provided database username and/or password is invalid, and a connection to the database could not be established. Please enter a valid user name and password. 1045: Access denied for user”
9 – Changed the server name to localhost, and completed the install.
