Trying to install the SugarCRM package on a PHP5 system with enables safe_mode gives you alot of error messages and doesn’t allow you to get any further. Let me give you some hints:

  • add the following two values to your section:
    php_admin_value open_basedir /home/wwwgroup/yoursite:/usr/local/php/include/
    php_admin_value session.save_path /home/wwwgroup/yoursite/phptmp/

    SugarCRM uses the PEAR DB extension which is located in /usr/local/php/include. Also be sure that the phptmp dir is writable by the apache user (By default it’s nobody)!

  • Turn safe_mode off in your php.ini (during the installation process) and restart apache - you could also modify the script install/CheckSystem.php line 408 f.
  • Modify your PHP version on line 204 f. in the same file.
  • Install your system, turn safe_mode back on and be happy!

    Hi Phillippe

    just wanted to know if youo have ever used SugarCRM for some time in order to give me some quality feedback on this software or any alternatives?

    I had a quick look into it some weeks ago but haven’t had the chance to test it until now.

    No I never used it in a production environment - I actually just had to install the system for somebody else..
