Hi all,

This is my first post so a big hello to you all.

I am trying to install v-tiger on a debian etch (base system).

Can someone please tell me what are the packages that I need to install to get v-tiger setup properly?

The documentation dates from debian 3 (we're at 5 now Wink ) and it doesn't list packages and I can't find their equivalent.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Well, looks like not many of you install v-tiger on debian Wink

Debian 5 is out so we might as well solve this problem for lenny if possible.

Here are the actions I did:

1) installed a debian 5 base system
2) apt-get install unzip ssh make
3) make the bin executable
4) install v-tiger leaves me with the following missing
    xlibs
    xlibs-dev
    libgd2
    libfreetype6
    libfreetype6-dev
    zlib-1.2.1
    libpng-1.2.5
    jpeg-6b
    /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
    /usr/local/lib/libpng12.so.0



Whatever packages I try and install that seem to have something to do with the above fail to get rid of these dependencies.

Can anyone help?

Here are some packages I tried:
    mysql-server php5 apache2 libfreetype6 libjpeg62-dev libpng12-0 libjpeg62 libxcb-xlib0-dev libxcb-xlib0

If the perfect debian setup is a distant dream, what is the distro of choice for v-tiger?

Thanks.

Hi eco,

vtiger CRM 5.0.x works very fine on Debian and debian-like distros (ie Ubuntu, Knoppix, ...)

I strongly suggest you to install vtiger from source and not using the Linux .bin.

A LAMP environment and a few more packages is what you need.
So basically apache, mysql, php5 and a few php modules for apache php-imap, php-gd, uhm .... php-mysql obviously ...

Let me know if I can help any further

carloz

Hey carloz,

Thanks for the reply. Just comes to show how much of a nobe I am to v-tiger... I didn't even notice the source package... I saw linux and clicked Wink

I'll work on it and if I get it to work I'll try and post a quick howto for other nobs like me.

Thanks for your answer!

For anyone wanting V-Tiger on Debian, here is what I did on a VMWARE installation of Debian base system (lenny) and V-Tiger 5.0.4.

Thanks to swisstone for his post, it helped chose the packages I needed.

There are many ways to do this, I did it like this:

Basic system needs:
Code:
# apt-get install -V ssh screen


V-Tiger dependencies
Code:
# apt-get install -V php5 apache2 mysql-server php5-gd libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql php5-imap


PHP settings recomended by V-Tiger. Edit the file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and do the following changes:
    safe_mode = Off # default
    display_errors = On # default
    file_uploads = On # default
    register_globals = Off # default
    max_execution_time = 600 # was: 30
    output_buffering = On # was: Off
    memory_limit = 64M # default
    error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE # default
    allow_call_time_pass_reference = On # default
    log_errors = Off # default
    short_open_tag = On # default

Extract V-Tiger and set the permissions
Code:
# cd /var/www
# tar zxvf ~/vtigercrm-5.0.4.tar.gz
# find vtigercrm/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
# find vtigercrm/ -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
# chown -R www-data: vtigercrm/


Create a Virtual Host (vtiger) in Apache
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName vtiger.yourdomain.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/vtigercrm/
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/vtiger.yourdomain.com.error_log
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/vtiger.yourdomain.com.access_log combined
    <Directory /var/www/vtigercrm>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>


Make sure you enable the VH with a link in site-enabled
Code:
# cd /etc/apache2/site-enabled
# ln -s ../site-available/vtiger


Then restart apache
Code:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart


You now need to create a database and grant V-Tiger access to it.

Code:
# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE vtiger DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON vtiger.* TO 'vtgrusr'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YourPassword';
mysql> quit


That's it, now do the changes you need to to your DNS or host file so that it knows where vtiger.yourdomain.com is. Now simple go to http://vtiger.yourdomain.com/ and configure it.

I hope this can help someone.

Thanks for the clear layout of process, it was a great help in setting up on Debs little upstart Hardy Ubuntu too. It works the same way on 8.04 as Lenny which although perhaps unsurprising might be useful to know!

Only thing I could see that was different to the information here was the VH link to the

/etc/apache2/site-available

which I think should be

/etc/apache2/sites-available

Just in case someone else is being lazy and cut/pasting Wink
