vtiger

[elbeano]

In the recent past, I have installed a variety of apps using the ubuntu LAMP install, and had no problems dropping, creating, and other simple database managment tasks from the command line. This is not the case with my present attempt to set up vtiger. A LAMP install doesn't seem to work out so well in Ubuntu (Dapper), since vtiger seems to insist on its own apache/php/mysql install routine. Trouble is, when I do this, I can't log into mysql and do the db management I need, including restoring a backed up vtiger database from a previous install. How do I log in to mysql and do command line management with the vtiger install of mysql?

hi,

if you use ubuntu lamp, i suggest you to install vtiger from source (.tar.gz)
it's not that hard, once you have downloaded and unpacked the sources you have a web installer

then, you can use existing ubuntu mysql
(default port, default parameters & all)

i my self work a lot with vtiger and ubuntu, and this is the way i always choose

Thanks Carloz,

I think your recommendation is quite sound. I now have phpmyadmin working so I will use it for this install. In the future, I plan to integrate webERP and vtiger and think using the source will be better.
