Requirements
Vtiger CRM's requirements increase as the users of application
increases. For optimal performance, you can use a server with
2GB RAM. To follow this tutorial, you will need a server with
minimal CentOS 7 installed. All the required dependencies will be
installed throughout the tutorial. You will also need root access
or sudo access on your server. If you are logged in as non root
user, run sudo -i to switch to root user.
yum -y update
To install Vtiger CRM, you will need to install a web server, PHP
and a database server. In this tutorial, we will be installing Apache
web server with PHP 5.6 and MariaDB as the database server.
rpm -Uvh
https://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el7/webtatic-
release.rpm yum -y update
To install PHP 5.6 and all the required PHP modules, run the
following command.
php -v
You should get following output.
nano /etc/php.ini
If you do not have nano installed, you can install it using yum -y
install nano. Scroll down to find the following lines.
; http://php.net/display-errors
display_errors = Off
Change the display_errors = Off to display_errors = On.
Now find:
; http://php.net/log-errors
log_errors = On
; http://php.net/short-open-tag
short_open_tag = Off
; http://php.net/error-reporting
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT
Once done, save the changes and restart Apache web server
using the following command.
mysql_secure_installation
It will run a small script which asks you to provide the root
password for MariaDB. As we have just installed MariaDB, the
root password is not set, just press enter to proceed further. It
will ask you if you want to set a root password for your MariaDB
installation, choose y and set a strong password for the
installation. It will further ask you for removing test databases
and anonymous users. Most of the questions are self-
explanatory and you should answer yes to all the questions.
mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you for the root password, provide the root
password of MySQL which you have set earlier. Now run the
following query to create a new database for your Vtiger CRM
installation.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Exit MySQL prompt by executing exit command.
Once done, you can download the Vtiger CRM using the following
command.
cd /var/www/html wget wget
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/vtigercrm/vtiger%20CRM%206.5.0/Core%20Product/vtigerc
-O vtigercrm.tar.gz
At the time of writing the tutorial, the latest version of Vtiger CRM
is 6.5.0. You can always check for the latest version on Vtiger CRM
download page.
mv vtigercrm/* /var/www/html
Now you will need to disable your SELinux. To completely disable
the SELinux you will need to edit /etc/selinux/config file.
nano /etc/selinux/config
If you don't have nano installed, you can install it using yum -y
install nano Find the following line:
SELINUX=enforcing
Change it to:
SELINUX=disabled
Now you will need to reboot your server so that the new
configuration can take effect. Once the server is rebooted, you
will need to provide the ownership of the application to web
server user using the following command.
http://serverIPaddress
Or
http://yourdomain.com
You will see following welcome interface.
In the next interface, the installer will show you the configuration
settings that will be used for installation. If you need to re-
configure the setting provided, click on the Back button.
Click Next to proceed further. The installer will now write the
database and will install Vtiger CRM. Once done it will ask you to
select the industry of your firm. In Next interface you will be
asked to choose the modules to enable. Choose the modules
according to your need, you can configure the modules later also.

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install Vtiger CRM
application on CentOS 7 server. You can now deploy the
