Thanks for your Reply.

I seem to have a Problem. During my Installation for " Database Configuration " I used my root user name and root password for the Installation. However when I try the Installation Process I get " Unable to connect to database Server. Invalid mySQL Connection Parameters specified "

How do I find out what the MySQL root Password is?

Thanks for your Help

Hello,

Use the PHPMyAdmin contribs from Master Sleepy to create your vTiger Database before... Do not forget to create it in UTF-8 Unicode for vTiger 5.0.4...

Thanks for your Help

Sorry I'm a bit of a Noob when it comes to MySQL.

I did use the Master Sleepy "phpmyadminmulti" contrib and have created a new database (myvtiger) making sure that I created it with "utf8_unicode_ci". My problem is that it seems that I have only admin and root user rights to the Database (myvtiger)

When I try to do the Installation I still have the Same problem. I cannot seem to get the Installation to use the Correct Info.

Please Help

============================================
Database Configuration

Host Name testbox
User Name admin
Password *****
Database Type mysql
Database Name myvtiger
Database UTF-8 Support Not Enabled More Information
=============================================

Hello,

You need to "GRANT" privileges to the new database...

User this command in console mode with PuTTY:

Code: [Select]

#mysql
mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* to dbadmin@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'your password';
mysql>flush privileges;
mysql>\q
You can replace the *.* by your database name to apply the new created user only on your new database. OR change the dbadmin user for a another one...

So now in vTiger installation the user for MySQL id "dbadmin" with the password you added...

And youre are back online ! ;)

Thanks again for your Help. Well I did all you said and I got going with the Installation. All seemed to go Fine. Except I noticed that it said that it would take about 4 Mins to do the Installation well it took about 1 Second and it said Finished.

I used my Browser (IE7) and went to "https://myserver/vtiger" and got a Blank Page.

Now what?  :eek:

This is the Output I got from the script you asked me:

Didn't receive 200 OK from remote server. (HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found)

Thanks for your Help  :-)

Hello,

You need to run it on the SME console with PuTTY... Then retry

Quote

pear install Log
service httpd-e-smith restart

Then go on the web to retry...

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!

You could install VMware server on your existing SME 7.3 (there are good WIki instructions available) and run a virtual host (OS of your choice) for vtiger under VMware. I think there are even VMware-vtiger images available to load/start vtiger under VMware without individual vtiger installation steps.

If you can read a little French :

english translation may follow if demands.
We did the full integration with Asterisk on several servers, works perfect.
