Hello,

I am new to vTiger and have installed MAMP Pro, downloaded the vTiger application, but cannot open it. I downloaded version vtigercrm-5.0.4.bin.sh and when I attempt to run it, I get the following message:

\n You should first login as root to execute this script\n Please login as root and try again. Exiting ...\

Can anyone advise on what I should do from here?

Thank you!

Hi,

On MacOSX, install standard apache, php and mysql and proceed with vtiger source installation.

Hi vTigerNewbie,

We have tested installing vtiger on the basic version of MAMP. You need to do the following.

* You will need to make some changes to MAMP's php.ini file. You can find out where it is located by checking out php info. In my install it is located at /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5/php.ini You will need to make the following changes
* Change error_reporting to E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE from E_ALL
* Change max_execution_time to 600
* Change memory_limit to 32M
* Restart MAMP
* Download the source version of vtiger from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vtigercrm/vtigercrm-5.0.4.tar.gz?download
* Extract the contents of the file to the directory htdocs in your MAMP folder.

You should be able to run vtiger now. To set up vtiger you will need to run through a basic installation process to set up the database. This appears to take a while on the basic version of MAMP, about 10 minutes.

Couple of thing to note, during the installation process you will be asked for the details of the mysql installation. On my install of mamp the hostname is localhost:8889 that is the host name of the mysql install and it's port. You can get the details of the mysql setup from the MAMP install's start page.
