This is my first time trying to install suitecrm

I see these instructions

Set the following permissions on the SuiteCRM directory(Linux):
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload config_override.php

I tried but its a little difficult, any help? i browsed the net but I have nt find a clear instruction how to do it

Hi Gus,

you can just copy those lines into a terminal for Linux as long as you are within the SuiteCRM root directory and not the servers root directory. run that and it will do the rest.

Hi,

When I run chown -R www-data:www-data in the suitecrm root directory I get

[root@isuitecrm] chown -R www-data:www-data.
chown: missing operand after ‘www-data:www-data.’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information.

What am i missing? The other two commands worked fine.

Thank you

Hi,

I run the cmd in the suitecrm directory and get the results below:

[root@suitecrm]# chown -R www-data:www-data
chown: missing operand after ‘www-data:www-data’
Try ‘chown --help’ for more information.
[root@suitecrm]#

Help did not help me :slight_smile:

Any suggestions will be welcome.

Thank you,

Claude

@greyes,

are you not able to get terminal access this would be far easier?

@chayn123

this would have been better in another thread, however you are missing part of the line.

chown -R www-data:www-data or
chown -R www.-data:www-data .

The second line bare in mind the full stop !

Ian.
