Generating autoload files

To make configuration PHP modules, you need to open the php.ini file

root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# vim /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini

And edit the following lines in that file.

[..]
Upload_max_filesize = 100M
cgi.fix_pathinfo=0
session.save_path = /var/lib/php/sessions/
[..]

After that, you need to set a password for the database.

root@linuxhelp1:~# mysql_secure_installation 

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
         SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!   PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we' ll need the current
password for the root user.  If you' ve just installed MariaDB, and
you haven' t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): 
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y
New password: 
Re-enter new password: 
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] 
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from ' localhost' .  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] 
 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named ' test'  that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] 
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]  y
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you' ve completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

And then, you need to create Database for suiteCRM.

root@linuxhelp1:~# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor.  Commands end with   or g.
Your MariaDB connection id is 10
Server version: 10.1.25-MariaDB- Ubuntu 17.04

Copyright (c) 2000, 2017, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others.

Type ' help '  or ' h'  for help. Type ' c'  to clear the current input statement.

MariaDB [(none)]>  CREATE DATABASE suite  
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]>  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON typo3.* TO  ' suiteuser' @' localhost'  IDENTIFIED BY ' 123'  
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]>  FLUSH PRIVILEGES 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

MariaDB [(none)]>  EXIT 
Bye.

And then you should also create a virtual host for SuiteCRM.

root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/suite.conf

You should add the following lines to it.

[..]
< VirtualHost *:80> 
ServerName www.linuxhelp1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/suitecrm/

< Directory /var/www/suitecrm/> 
AllowOverride All
allow from all
< /Directory> 

< /VirtualHost> 
[..]

Once it is done, you need to enable the site by making use of the following command.

root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# a2ensite suite.conf
Enabling site suite.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
  systemctl reload apache2

You should now restart apache2.

 root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# systemctl restart apache2

And then, disable the default site

root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# a2dissite 000-default.conf

You shall restart apache2 by making use of the following command.

root@linuxhelp1:/var/www# systemctl restart apache2

Now, let use continue this process through GUI. Go to your Browser and type “ http://IP (or) domain name.“

The page of SuiteCRM now appears so you need to accept the license agreement to proceed.

The system environment configuration now appears.

And then, give the admin user and database details in the next page.

Click in the Next button to proceed further.

Now installing the configuration.

Once it is done, the Login page of SuiteCRM will now appear.

You need to now open the SuiteCRM.

You can know more information on the SuiteCRM by checking out the version.

With this, the method to install SuiteCRM comes to an end.
