Installation issues - Email setup and blank pages

šŸ“¦ Install & Upgrade Help
1

Well, after a lot of fun trying to get this installed, it seems it still isnā€™t working properly yet.

One issue I noticed during the installation procedure was that when I tried to upload a logo, it would just hang.
Another was trying to give it a custom log path, which resulted in ā€œnot a valid directoryā€ error. Solved by just leaving it blank, even though permissions are set properly, as evinced by the fact that itā€™s using that directory anyway(set in php.ini), and sugarcrm had no issues using that path either.
Another is that it overwrites my web.config instead of merging it, as with my IIS(Windows 2016) I had to add a handler so that php files would execute.

      <handlers>
        <add name="PHP_FAST_CGI" path="*.php" verb="*" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\Program Files\PHP\v7.1\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Either" />
    </handlers>

Now, the current problems Iā€™m running into are I canā€™t setup email, which Iā€™m guessing is related to the problem in the log file below?

Hereā€™s a snippet from the end of the log file(roughly 200 ines of similar errors before this):

[28-Feb-2018 21:06:54 America/New_York] PHP Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SuiteCRM\modules\SurveyQuestionResponses\vardefs.php on line 39

And, that clicking the majority of the links when Iā€™m logged into the crm just gives me this:

Anyone have thoughts on what the issue might be?

Thanks

Hiā€¦ Iā€™m afraid something seems very broken about your installationā€¦

what is your PHP version?

and in your logs, can you please look just for ERROR or FATAL messages?

Check also your suitecrm.log (if you can find it)

You might also have some clues in install.log.

Well, I found out the issue.

I havenā€™t narrowed it down to the exact header issues yet, but itā€™s definitely related to some security headers I have on the webserver, most likely the content-security-policy to avoid xss attacks etcā€¦Iā€™m not sure if this crm loads external resources, but suitecrm doesnā€™t work with them enabled.

But, onto the latest issues. It now crashes IIS. Impressive really lol. Clicking on the various menu links(Iā€™ve been clicking all the various links under All) ends up crashing IIS in usually 1-2 minutes of clicking the links.

One problem solved, more to go!

Just to add, when it happened earlier, I had left the debugger up for like 30 minutes before I closed it. And this was in the php error log:

[03-Mar-2018 10:47:30 America/New_York] PHP Warning: session_destroy(): Session object destruction failed in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SuiteCRM\include\MVC\SugarApplication.php on line 127

Hereā€™s an entry in the suitecrm.log after it crashes:

Sat Mar 3 13:24:08 2018 [10104][1][FATAL] field_defs should be an array

That one I know
