EspoCRM is an open-source customer relationship management software that lets you manage your customer data, sales, and marketing operations. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install EspoCRM on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation process, you need to meet the following prerequisites:
First, download the EspoCRM package from the official website using the wget command.
sudo wget https://www.espocrm.com/downloads/EspoCRM-5.9.5.zip
Once the package is downloaded, use the unzip command to extract the EspoCRM package.
sudo unzip EspoCRM-5.9.5.zip -d /var/www/html
After extraction, you need to change the ownership of the espocrm directory to the Apache webserver user and group.
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/espocrm/
EspoCRM requires a MySQL database to store all customer-related data. Login to your MySQL server using the following command.
mysql -u root -p
Run the following commands in the MySQL shell to create a database, username, and password.
create database espocrmdb;
create user 'espocrmuser'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpassword';
grant all privileges on espocrmdb.* to 'espocrmuser'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
exit;
Create a new virtual host file with the following command.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/espocrm.conf
And paste the following content into it.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/espocrm"
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/espocrm_error.log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/espocrm_access.log" common
<Directory "/var/www/html/espocrm">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl + X and Y.
Finally, restart the Apache webserver to apply the changes.
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Open your web browser and type the server’s IP address or domain name followed by /espocrm. You should see the following screen.
Select the language and click on the Next button.
On the next page, EspoCRM will check for the necessary requirements. If everything goes fine, click on the Next button to proceed.
On the Database configuration page, enter the MySQL database details we created earlier.
Click on the Next button to proceed. On the next screen, setup the admin user’s details.
Finally, click on Install button to complete the installation process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EspoCRM on Fedora Server Latest. It’s time to manage your customers and grow your business with EspoCRM.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
