Make the install procedure fail safe

Installation on LightSail

Easy improvement to the app’s install algorithm: Before writing to the install log, which is the first time the app tries to write to the app directory, check the type of the opened file’s $stream, if it’s not the expected type, a resource, then stop the install, and attempt to fix the permissions and ownership. To do this, check if the app has enough permissions to fix permissions by itself, and if yes, run the 4 commands to fix the permissions and ownership, and verify they worked without err…

Actually, I’d second this and go a step further:

Make install & upgrade procedure fail safe.

It seems like, SuiteCRM is quite a capable software and many of the threads here in the forms are not about SuiteCRM, but rather about server environment / server setup / shared hosting / permission / no SSH issues.

Maybe in order to improve the initial ‘appearance’ of SuiteCRMs reliability when looking in the forums, it might be a good idea to split up the forum categories:
One dedicated to server / installation & upgrade / tech issues
and the rest of the categories.
