Overview
You can install Sugar FastStack as a typical installation or a custom installation. Typical installation is recommended, but you can choose custom installation if you:
- Do not want to use the Admin User as the Sugar database administrator
- Want to specify the locale settings during installation, before you log into the Sugar application
Sugar FastStack is available for MySQL server 5.0.37, which includes PHP 5.2.5 and Apache 2.0.59.
Installation prerequisites
The minimum memory requirement is 1GB. However, the recommended memory requirement is 2GB.
FastStack installs and runs the Apache server as the nobody user. Before you begin the installation process, ensure that the nobodyuser has full Read and Execute permissions to the path of the installation location.
