Working with SugarCRM at the moment with a dev install on my SME Server 8.0b5 in an ibay.<\/p>\n

Trying to upload some updates using the SugarCRM admin tool Upgrade Wizard but I kept getting an error stating that ‘Missing a Temporary Folder’. Which is kind of cryptic and Sugar could do well to include the missing folder name that it thinks it needs as that would shorten the research process.<\/p>\n

Anywho, the issue can be tracked in the appropriate meesages file, \/var\/log\/messages in the case of SME Server.<\/p>\n

The log indicates that Sugar is wanting access to the \/tmp directory for the upload and that this directory is outside the open_basedir restrictions that SME Server configures for iBays.<\/p>\n

The quick steps for this are:<\/p>\n

\nserver#mkdir -p \/etc\/e-smith\/templates-custom\/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\/
\nserver#cd \/etc\/e-smith\/templates-custom\/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\/
\nserver#cp \/etc\/e-smith\/templates\/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\/95AddType00PHP2ibays .
\nserver#mcedit 95AddType00PHP2ibays\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I use mcedit for editing, but you might be a vi guru, just substitute mcedit for your favourite editor.
\nOnce you are editing the file look for the output line near the end, it should look like this<\/p>\n

\n

my $basedir = $ibay->prop(‘PHPBaseDir’)
\n || (“\/home\/e-smith\/files\/ibays\/” . $ibay->key . “\/”);
\n $OUT .= ” php_admin_value open_basedir $basedirn”;
\n $OUT .= “n”;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and you need to modify the first .OUT line to include the \/tmp directory<\/p>\n

\n

my $basedir = $ibay->prop(‘PHPBaseDir’)
\n || (“\/home\/e-smith\/files\/ibays\/” . $ibay->key . “\/”);
\n $OUT .= ” php_admin_value open_basedir $basedir:\/tmpn”;
\n $OUT .= “n”;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Save that file and rebuild the template, restart apache and the uploads should now be ok. Note that this modification does apply this to ALL iBays. Which suits me.<\/p>\n

\nserver#\/sbin\/e-smith\/expand-template \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf
\nserver#apachectl restart\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and that is done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
