I am also very interested to try Vtiger.
When I try to install it on a standard install SME 7.3 (test machine, fresh install from downloaded 7.3 CD, then yum update until all updates applied), I get the message that it needs newer versions of MySQL and PHP than those which are installed on the SME server. I don't know how to do this, and am afraid that trying to upgrade may break something else on the machine. No problem on this test machine, but my plan is eventually to add the Vtiger to our production server.
Have the people who are successfully using this made some upgrades to the standard SME installation, and if so, what and how?
I am not very experienced with Linux/CentOS, but can follow instructions. Have already searched the forum and also googled it, but without much success.
I can always install it on another flavour of Linux if this is easier, but I am already running (now more than 5 years) the SME server, and then I would have to have an extra machine running - power use, heat etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!
