Have Some Issues with Crontabs

📦 Install & Upgrade Help
1

Hello

My Name is Ridvan and i am trying Install SuiteCRM for our culutrally & social cooperation community.
I have processed following steps.

  • I downloaded SuiteCRM v7.7.8
  • I have uploaded on my Cloud Server from 1&1
  • Then I opened the site (Link: http://uyetakip.atib-ried.com)
  • I have accepted the GPL and pressed next on the Installation wizard
  • On the Scree for the Pre-Installation requirements I got the following Note

To Setup Crontab


Note: In order to run SuiteCRM Schedulers, add the following line to the crontab file:
*    *    *    *    *     cd /var/www/vhosts/uyetakip.atib-ried.com/httpdocs; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
  • Then I searched at Google and SuiteCRM Community Forum for solutions.
  • I connected to my Server via SSH and i entered following into my crontab file
*    *    *    *    *     cd /var/www/vhosts/uyetakip.atib-ried.com/httpdocs; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1
  • I have added the entry into the crontab file as root and as apache User.
  • And nothing changed :slight_smile: please help me :cheer:

I have CentOS7 installed on my Cloudserver from 1&1.de

Best regards
Ridvan

Could you please elaborate on what you mean why nothing happened? Have you installed Suite Successfully?

The Crontab is set up for the scheduler to run task like workflow

Simply proceed to complete the installation steps.

The message about crontab is an instruction which, as Cameron has said, would be required later when you are looking forward to the execution of schedulers.

With thanks,

I cant Install SuiteCRM i thought because of the message regarding crontabs.

If i click to next, and fill out the form i can’t press next.
Nothing happens :blink:

Maybe you have an idea why it doesn’t work?

could you attach a screenshot?

You can proceed the steps and just fill out anything, at least you should get an error message that there was a field blank or a wrong entry. But nothing happens :cheer:

I can attach a Screenshot but its just a Installation Wizard Screenshot without error messages.

  • fix your permissions before running the installer (even if you’ve done it, do it again)

  • do NOT set up cron.php to run as root, it must be the web server user

  • do NOT set up crontab before completing the installation (I know the installer tells you to, but don’t do it).

Suggestions offered by pgr are correct. Start with them.

You need to ensure that you pass all the system requirements.

I had created the database first, though it is not necessary because SuiteCRM Installation Wizard can create it automatically for you. This attached graphic shows that I had used the database created before. You may not need to create it first. OK

IMPORTANT: You should use the root user and password for creating a new database.

Only to look for clues…

Once you fill up the form correctly, you would see the following screen:

I hope it helps you.
