• Run the SuiteCRM installer at http://your.smeserver.name.or.IP/install.php
  • Set the database name to match the database created above (suitecrm)
  • Set the database server name to localhost
  • Enter the database administrator name and password created (suiteadmin, mydbpwd)
  • Since we pre-created the suuitecrm database manually, you will be prompted to agree to overwrite the existing database; select "I Accept"
  • Answer the remaining questions (timezone, date and time format, etc) as appropriate

• To Setup Crontab

In order to run SuiteCRM Schedulers, edit your web server user's crontab file with this command:

sudo crontab -e -u www

... and add the following line to the crontab file:

*    *    *    *    *     cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html; php -f cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

You should do this only after the installation is concluded.
