Kadira CRM / ERP

The perfect solution for small and medium-sized companies

The Kadria project was born from a fork of VTiger 8.2. The aim of this project is to help companies that need a solution with well-defined business rules.

Web Server installation

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nginx

We verify the services after installation

sudo systemctl stop nginx.service
sudo systemctl start nginx.service
sudo systemctl enable nginx.service

MariaDB database installation

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-client

We verify the services after installation

sudo systemctl stop mysql.service
sudo systemctl start mysql.service
sudo systemctl enable mysql.service

We activate the security of access to the database.

sudo mysql_secure_installation

We specify the following values in the different questions.

Enter current password for root (enter for none): Just press the Enter
Set root password? [Y/n]: Y
New password: Enter password
Re-enter new password: Repeat password
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]: Y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]: Y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]: Y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]: Y

Restart the service

sudo systemctl restart mysql.service

Installation of PHP on NGINX web server

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php

sudo apt update

sudo apt install php8.2-fpm php8.2-common php8.2-mbstring php8.2-xmlrpc php8.2-soap php8.2-gd php8.2-xml php8.2-intl php8.2-mysql php8.2-cli php8.2-mcrypt php8.2-ldap php8.2-zip php8.2-curl

Editing php.ini file to define the correct values to work with Kadira

sudo nano /etc/php/8.2/fpm/php.ini

file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
max_execution_time = 30
display_errors = Off
cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0
max_input_vars = 1500

Database and user creation

sudo mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE kadira;
CREATE USER 'kadirauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'new_password_here';
GRANT ALL ON kadira.* TO 'kadirauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'user_password_here' WITH GRANT OPTION;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

We import the database of the base project

mysql -u username -p kadira < /var/www/html/kadira/schema/kadira.sql

Download and install the project Kadira

cd /var/www/html/
git clone https://github.com/Dibaia/kadiracrm.git

We apply permissions necessary for the web server to be able to write to the directory

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kadira/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/kadira/

Web server configuration

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/kadira

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    root /var/www/html/kadira;
    index  index.php index.html index.htm;

     client_max_body_size 100M;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
         include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
         fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
         fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
         include fastcgi_params;
    }
}

Once the changes have been applied, we activate the configuration on the nginx web server.

sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/kadira/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

To finish, we restart the web server

sudo systemctl restart nginx.service

Install composer

As of version v8.2, it is necessary to have composer installed to install the necessary dependencies.

Once composer is installed, we will have to access the vtiger folder and execute the following command.

composer install

Although this installation already has the dependencies updated, it could have some pending updates. For this reason, it is important to execute the indicated command.

Access to the platform

With all changes completed, you should now be able to access the http:\localhost\kadira service.

The user data defined in the default database are as follows:

User: Admin

Password: Admin*1234
