Dear All.
I am currently at the installation stage on a subdomain. Is it possible to change the default URL from:
https://crm.marvelitcs.com/public
to:
I would like the application to open directly when accessing https://crm.marvelitcs.com, without requiring /public in the URL.
Could you please advise how I can configure this properly?
Hi,
If SuiteCRM 8 is currently accessible at:
https://crm.marvelitcs.com/public
but you want to access it directly at:
you need to configure the web server so that the Document Root points directly to the SuiteCRM public directory.
For example, if SuiteCRM is installed at:
/var/www/crm
the web root should be:
/var/www/crm/public
You do not need to move or rename the public directory.
Option 1 – Apache
Step 1: Find the SuiteCRM installation directory
For example:
/var/www/crm/
├── bin/
├── config/
├── public/
├── src/
├── vendor/
└── …
The important directory is:
/var/www/crm/public
Step 2: Create or edit the Apache VirtualHost
Open the VirtualHost configuration for the subdomain.
For example:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/crm.marvelitcs.com.conf
Configure it as follows:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName crm.marvelitcs.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/crm/public
<Directory /var/www/crm/public>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/crm_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/crm_access.log combined
If HTTPS is already configured, make sure the HTTPS VirtualHost also uses:
DocumentRoot /var/www/crm/public
For example:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName crm.marvelitcs.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/crm/public
<Directory /var/www/crm/public>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
\# Existing SSL configuration
\# SSLEngine on
\# SSLCertificateFile ...
\# SSLCertificateKeyFile ...
Step 3: Enable Apache rewrite
Run:
sudo a2enmod rewrite
Then enable the site if it has not already been enabled:
sudo a2ensite crm.marvelitcs.com.conf
Step 4: Test the Apache configuration
Run:
sudo apachectl configtest
You should see:
Syntax OK
Step 5: Reload Apache
sudo systemctl reload apache2
Now access:
The /public part should no longer be required.
Option 2 – Nginx
Step 1: Find the SuiteCRM installation directory
For example:
/var/www/crm/
├── bin/
├── config/
├── public/
├── src/
├── vendor/
└── …
The web root must be:
/var/www/crm/public
Step 2: Create or edit the Nginx configuration
Open the configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/crm.marvelitcs.com
Use the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name crm.marvelitcs.com;
root /var/www/crm/public;
index index.php index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location \~ \\.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock;
}
location \~ /\\.ht {
deny all;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/crm_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/crm_error.log;
}
Important: Change:
/var/www/crm/public
to the actual path of your SuiteCRM installation.
Also make sure the PHP-FPM socket matches the PHP version installed on your server.
For example, if you are using PHP 8.3:
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.3-fpm.sock;
Step 3: Enable the Nginx site
If the configuration is stored in sites-available, create the symbolic link:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/crm.marvelitcs.com /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
If the link already exists, you can skip this step.
Step 4: Test the Nginx configuration
Run:
sudo nginx -t
You should see:
syntax is ok
test is successful
Step 5: Reload Nginx
sudo systemctl reload nginx
Then open:
SuiteCRM should now load without /public.
Important: HTTPS Configuration
If the domain is already using HTTPS, make sure the HTTPS server configuration also points to the SuiteCRM public directory.
The important setting is:
Apache
DocumentRoot /var/www/crm/public
Nginx
root /var/www/crm/public;
Do not only change the HTTP configuration if the site is actually accessed through HTTPS.
Final Result
Before:
https://crm.marvelitcs.com/public
After:
The key configuration is simply to make the SuiteCRM public directory the web server’s document root.
Apache:
DocumentRoot /path/to/suitecrm/public
Nginx:
root /path/to/suitecrm/public;
This is the recommended approach because the SuiteCRM public directory is intended to be the web-accessible directory.
After it works, dont forget update site_url in config.php or config_override.php
Hello Nasir,
it depends on your hosting and what you can access.
If you have your own VPS, it’s along the lines what Nhat posted.
If you have purchased some standard webhosting packages / domains etc. you’d have to check your hosting panel and/or ask your hosting provider.
Dear All.
installation part completed. thanks to all
