Installation
From X2Engine
This article covers manual installation of X2Engine on a webserver. If this is

your first time working with a web server, it is recommended that you first
try installing via an automatic full-stack installer that will set up a self-
contained web server environment for you. See Bitnami's X2Engine stack
installers (http://bitnami.org/stack/X2CRM) for download links.

Before Installation
Before installing X2Engine, you should first ensure that
You have a web server

You understand the basics of installing a PHP web application
Your hosting environment is properly configured and meets all the
minimum requirements
Required Knowledge
Installing X2Engine requires you are able to perform the following taks (and

have basic knowledge of how to perform them):
1. Upload files to a web server via a hosting file manager, FTP/SFTP, or

otherwise
2. Creating a MySQL database and a database user, if they aren't
available already
3. Using a web browser, and knowing what URL to use to access a
location on the server
If you are unsure of how to perform any of these, please ask for assistance
on The X2Engine Forums (http://x2community.com).
System Requirements
You can quickly determine if your web server can run X2Engine by
downloading the requirements checking script (link: requirements.php),
uploading it to your web server, and opening it in a web browser. When
finished using the script, delete it; it displays detailed information about the
server's PHP configuration. Displaying it publicly for indefinite time can
pose a security risk; it could be useful to attackers. In general, the following
are the absolute minimum requirements for installation:
A web server that can execute PHP.

A password-protected MySQL database server connection, and a
database on which the user of the connection has all rights (i.e. select,
drop, create and update).
PHP version 5.3-5.6 (PHP 7 support will be introduced in
X2CRM 5.4.4)
PHP must be run as the same system user that owns the directory
where X2Engine will be installed.
If Requirements Are Not Met

Directory Ownership
If you are running a dedicated web server and/or have administrative

access, please refer to Preparing a Webserver.
This is a hosting environment misconfiguration wherein files uploaded to

the server are owned by a different system user than the user as whom PHP
executes. It is an ease-of-use issue that many shared hosting providers still
haven't gotten right. It can in most cases be resolved by changing the PHP
gateway interface, i.e. from SuPHP to FCGI, using your hosting control
panel (To correct this issue in CPanel: see Apache PHP Request Handling
(http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/vief/EasyApache3
40:56
2 sur 9 18/02/2019 à 12:58

/ApachePHPRequestHandling)).
You should also use a method of uploading files to the server that results in
them having the same ownership as the "domain owner" (this terminology is
used by most shared hosting providers). FTP services have been known to
fail in this regard, whereas web-based file managers available in hosting
control panels are often much more consistent. Uploading files with proper
ownership will completely circumvent file permission and ownership issues.
In any case, refer to your hosting provider's documentation. If the option to

change the PHP execution mode does not appear to be available, contact
the system administrator or customer service department of the hosting
provider. If they don't give you a satisfactory answer, consider switching to
a better web host. [1]
PHP Version
In some cases, it may be possible to enable PHP 5.3+ using an Apache

override (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html); see
Velvet Blues: How to Activate PHP 5.3 on HostGator and GoDaddy

(http://www.velvetblues.com/web-development-blog/activate-php-5-3-
hostgator-godaddy/)
SiteGround knowledge base: How to switch to a different PHP version
(http://kb.siteground.com/article
/How_to_have_different_Php__MySQL_versions.html)
By adding the appropriate directives to the .htaccess file in the web root of
X2Engine (NOT replacing the file, but changing it), the PHP version can
ideally be set. You can test whether this method succeeds by re-visiting the
requirements checker script and verifying that the PHP version in use is 5.3
or later.
In other cases, it may be possible to enable later versions of PHP via the
web hosting control interface (i.e. CPanel or Webmin). Otherwise, the only
option will be to contact the hosting provider and request that version 5.3
be made available.
PHP Extensions
If your server does not meet the minimum system requirements for running
X2Engine, and you are a system administrator of your server, you will be
able to install the necessary modules. Note, however, that as of the most
recent version, the MySQL PDO extension is the only extension used by
X2Engine that isn't included by default and always enabled in PHP 5.3; the
reflection class and

if PHP is at version 5.3 or later.
In most distributions of Linux, PHP extensions can be easily installed by the

distribution's default Package management system. That is the
recommended method of installing them; in most cases, the package
manager will automatically configure and reload the HTTP server to enable
them.
On Ubuntu & Debian: the extension mbstring will typically be included in the
Apache module package.
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql php5-curl
On CentOS (6+), the mbstring extension must be installed separately with

other missing modules:
sudo yum install php-pdo php-mbstring php-common curl
Installing Without All Requirements: What

Won't Work
This section is obsolete as of 3/26/2013. The severity of each missing
requirement, in addition to explanation of what functionality will be
unavailable/broken for each missing requirement, has been written directly
into the requirements check script and should be displayed there. Thus, it is
no longer necessary to list them here, although the list as it was last
maintained is left here for archival/demonstrative purposes.
If your server environment does not meet the minimum system

requirements, and it is not possible to add PHP extensions, you can still
install X2Engine, though it is not recommended. Note the following issues
that can occur:
Recommended System
The following attributes of the hosting environment are by no means
required. However, they are the same as the primary servers on which
X2Engine is most commonly developed and tested, and thus would be the
most likely to never cause problems:

Installing
Using The Installation Page
Browser-based installation generally proceeds as follows:
1. Make sure a MySQL database and a database user with full

permissions to that database are available from the web server.
2. Upload the contents of the x2engine folder to the document root of the
web server, or a subdirectory if desired.
3. Navigate to the webroot (or subdirectory) where the contents of the
folder were uploaded.
4. Fill out the installation form. Note the following:
If you leave "Create Sample Data" checked, the installer will
insert fictitious contact, user, account and action records into the
initial installation for testing purposes. Uncheck the box if this is
not desired.
You can first test the database connection without losing the
installation form by using the "Test Connection" button. Doing this

Using The Command Line Installer

It is possible to install X2Engine from the command line via SSH or
otherwise. This is performed as follows:
1. There is a script in the root of the web application named

installConfig.php. Fill it with the same information that would be
submitted by the installation page form. If you are installing a
commercial edition of X2Engine, fill the variable $unique_id with your
product key.
2. Change directory into the root folder of the web application.
3. Run:
php initialize.php silent
The configuration variables in installConfig.php are as follows:
host
The (MySQL) database hostname
db
The database name
user
The database username
pass
The database password
app
The application name (i.e. "Company X CRM") that shows up in various
places throughout the app.

1. In a discussion on our forums, "Hosting that works"
(http://x2community.com/topic/703-hosting-that-works/), some users
propose or advocate web hosts that they have had experiences with. A
general consensus on GoDaddy (and our own professional opinion,
based on repeated bad experiences) is that it is a very poor choice for
hosting X2Engine.
