Hi everyone,
I've been using Laragon for my WordPress local dev, and it has been a great tool so far - much faster and more reliable than XAMPP, which I used for a long time.
I am now trying to install SuiteCRM on Laragon, and have come to an issue.
The official SuiteCRM installation instructions require that the permissions within its installation folder be set in a particular way.
Here are the instructions:
..................
Set the correct permissions on the SuiteCRM directory (Linux):
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload
sudo chmod 775 config_override.php 2>/dev/null
That www-data needs to be replaced by the actual system user that your web server runs under. This varies depending on your operating system. Common web server users are as follows:
www-data (Ubuntu Linux/Apache)
apache (Linux/Apache)
nobody (Linux/Apache)
................
I looked up the 'system user' and Group for Apache, at the httpd.conf file of the Apache version I'm using, and I found that both the User and the Group are set to 'daemon'.
However, when I try to use it in the Laragon Terminal, as : chown -R daemon:daemon . I get a message that the user "daemon" is not recognized. The terminal is able to recognize Linux commands, like 'ls -l' , etc.
I also tried the ones listed above, www-data, etc, as well as 'laragon', but without success.
I'm not even sure if this is absolutely necessary, but when I go through the SuiteCRM forum, - there is a lot of talk about the file permissions not being set properly, as the cause of most problems the people are facing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
