I have read several other posts on the subject of changing the Suite CRM logo to my company logo but none have been able to help me so far. I have the correct size (450x170px), the permissions set to 775 and have named my file company_logo.png. When I upload my file under system settings the file appears to upload and preview correctly. I click save, refresh my browser cache and check. It has not changed. Not only that, but the Suite CRM logo is also no longer there. When I checked System Settings, it now says “$mod_strings.LBL_LOGO.” I tried to upload and save again, the same thing happened. So I uploaded via FTP and just replaced the default company_logo.png with my file named the same thing. I have also done a quick repair, and rebuilt the .htaccess file and cleared my cache but it has still not changed. Is there something else I am missing? Why am I not able to change the logo via the system settings?
That sounds like permissions issues.
I know you said you already set permissions, but what people often don’t realize is that permissions go hand-in-hand with file ownerships, and they need to get that right also.
So I would focus on checking that your installation is correct in that regard.
Is this Ubuntu? Windows? Your own server, or shared hosting? Do you have SSH access?
This is hosted on my own server. Last week, I was having issues with another error in the CRM which was a permissions issue, so I had a programmer go in and set all the correct permissions so they should all be correct. I am not sure about file ownerships. Are you able to tell me what specifically I need to look for regarding file ownerships? I am not sure how to check what they are set to.
If the CRM is running, you can go in Admin / Schedulers and tell me what the instructions are, below the table. This will let me know which user your web server is running under.
Also tell me (I’m assuming it’s Linux, you didn’t answer that part) the result of this command, given from the SuiteCRM directory:
ls -al
Finally, please tell me if you already set up your Scheduler jobs, and how.
Thanks for the reply. My apologies, I am running Linux server with cPanel interface. This is the message beneath the table:
In order to run SuiteCRM Schedulers, edit your web server user’s crontab file with this command:
sudo crontab -e -u crmmason
… and add the following line to the crontab file:
* * * * * cd /home/crmmason/public_html; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
This is the result of the ls -al command:
[crmmason@cpanel ~]$ ls -al

Ok, so the user name is crmmason
But you got the listing from the upper level directory, you need to go into the SuiteCRM directory to show me what I need…
Probably you do that by running cd public_html, and then something like cd suitecrm or wherever you put it. I can’t know for sure, it depends on your installation…
I went into the public_html directory which is where the Suite CRM is installed. I don’t have a SuiteCRM directory within there necessarily, so this should be where all the files are. If I misunderstood, please let me know. This was the result:
[crmmason@cpanel ~]$ cd public_html
[crmmason@cpanel public_html]$ ls -al

That’s it, thanks. Permissions and ownerships look fine.
Which version of SuiteCRM are you running? it doesn’t look like it’s the latest, can you upgrade?
I am running Version 7.11.8.
I can upgrade, but it will take a few days because we have some backup measures that need to take place to ensure nothing gets lost or broken in the process. Is there any other reason that changing the logo would be such an issue? I have read through several other threads with this same issue but they seem to be from older versions, I would have thought it would have been addressed by now if it was a bug. Is there another way I can change the logo via FTP or something?
As a note, when I click on the “default” logo (now, just a broken image link and not an actual logo) and open in a new tab I get a 403 forbidden error. This seems to imply a permissions issue to me, but if I set the correct permissions then I don’t understand what could be wrong.
My current theory is that you’re hitting the .htaccess bug that was in some previous versions.
If you want to confirm this, make a backup copy of your current .htacess file, then apply these changes:
The run a Admin / Repairs / Rebuild htaccess
I applied the above changes, rebuilt the .htaccess in Repairs and got a 500 internal server error when trying to access the CRM. I changed the .htaccess back to the original and am now able to see the CRM interface again.
That is strange, maybe some detail about the changed file was not correct. It’s better to wait for the opportunity to upgrade, I believe… sorry
