Setting up for Localhost

I installed SugarCRM and tried to launch it but the URL was wrong. The URL showed my laptop name followed by something (gone now so I can’t attach and I don’t know how to restart).

I would like to run the stack using http://127.0.0.1/ [something] but I don’t a) know where to configure those settings and b) don’t know what the [something] should be for SugarCRM.

I have already successfully done this before with the Wordpress stack from Bitnami (thank you very much). That Wordpress stack is not presently installed, so its not the problem.

Thanks !

Hi pypo,

What operating system are you using? Using your laptop name or 127.0.0.1 makes no difference, as both addresses point to your local host. On Windows, the web and database servers should be running after rebooting the computer, but they still can be launched from the proper entry in the Start Menu. On Unix systems (such as Linux, OS X and Solaris), you can start the servers by entering a terminal, moving to the installation directory and typing

./ctlscript.sh start

Cheers

I’m using XP. How do I get the laptop name or 127.0.0.1 to point to localhost? After that, where do I point the browser for SugarCRM?

Thanks.

Hi pypo,

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address by default, you shouldn’t need to configure anything. After the installation, SugarCRM application should be available at the following four addresses:

http://localhost/sugarcrm
http://127.0.0.1/sugarcrm
http://<your_local_area_network_ip>/sugarcrm
http://<your_computer_domain_name>/sugarcrm

For more info on the subject, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/127.0.0.1

Isn’t it working? Also, are you able to navigate through the BitNami local site? (it is just a simple html page)

Cheers

This works. I didn’t know the SugarCRM login URL or how to use the computer domain name.

Thanks Antonio.
