Thanks. That got me past the database error.
There are a number of not writeable file and directories. All the suitecrm directories are owned by apache:apache and they’ve been set using chmod -R 755 based on the installation instructions. The cache custom modules themes data upload config_override.php files and directories were set using chmod -R 775. Have also tried setting to 777 but the same error results.
The config_override.php file is 775 (have also tried 777). The contents of config_override.php is
<?php
/CONFIGURATOR/
/CONFIGURATOR/[
Is there something different required on RHEL7?
Reference excerpt from suitecrm/install.php:
Component Status
The config override file exists but is not writeable. Please take the necessary steps to make the file writeable. Depending on your Operating system, this might require you to change the permissions by running chmod 766, or to right click on the filename to access the properties and uncheck the read only option.
Writeable Custom Directory
The Custom Directory exists but is not writeable. You may have to change permissions on it (chmod 766) or right click on it and uncheck the read only option, depending on your Operating System. Please take the needed steps to make the file writeable.
Writable Cache Sub-Directories
The files or directories listed below are not writeable or are missing and cannot be created. Depending on your Operating System, correcting this may require you to change permissions on the files or parent directory (chmod 755), or to right click on the parent directory and uncheck the ‘read only’ option and apply it to all subfolders.
Please fix the following files or directories before proceeding:
/var/www/html/crm/cache/
