Is somebody can share how to install vTiger on SME 6.5. vTiger is supposed to be compatible with Apache 2, but is it also compatible with the version 1.3 running in SME?

For me, the Thunderbird plug-in is a good reason to swith to vTiger CRM.

wsmeurope,

Vtiger is not compatible with apache 1.3, but apache 2.0.2 comes packaged with Vtiger V4 but fails to load on SME6.5. Anyone know how get around this problem.

Regards,
Jack.

Thanks.

There is no contrib and the apache 2.0.2 with Vtiger won't install on SME 6.5
I have the required versions of MSQL and PHP loaded but not Apache. Anyone know what version of Apache used in SME 7 Alpha ?

Hey yall,
just a foot note to this thread.
I installed Vtiger4 on an SME 7alpha14(my test box).
Vtiger installed quickly, and without any noticable errors or problems. This does not speak of security tightening or long term usability, just that the install was pain free.

Vtiger was installed on an outdated 300mz, P2, with 224mg ram, SME7alpha14. It taxes the computer heavily, but is still quite usable on the LAN.

I setup a fragment to run vtiger in SSL:

97vtiger
Alias /vtiger /opt/vtiger
<Directory /opt/vtiger>
SSLRequireSSL on
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
Options Indexes +Includes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
php_admin_value open_baserdir "/opt/vtiger/:/tmp"
</Directory>

Comments welcomed and encouraged.

andymcp, are you able to reply back with some info on how you installed SugarCRM (and what version of Sugar).

I was taking a look myself and it appears both PHP & Apache have to be upgraded?

I'd appreciate any installation comments you have, Aaron.

Did you all get the sugarcrm install sorted out?  I installed v3.0b and it seemed to get fairly well.  I am not a CRM buff, but there seems to be a lot with this product.  I am interested in hearing how others are/did use this, what features/functions being utilized, and does it really add any value.

thx,

JB
