Dreamhost: Had to try a couple times – here is what worked:
- my .htaccess file:
# use custom php.ini, but not fcgi Options +ExecCGI AddHandler php5-cgi .php Action php5-cgi /cgi-bin/php5.cgi
- If the install failed with “table creation failed”, then wipe out all tables in db, remove vtiger dir and start over with fresh copy of vtiger dir code. I have a codebase directory where I keep copies of code for deployment.
Ace-host.net: Ace-host.net is running PHP 5.2.x – starting with PHP 5.2, an object cannot be converted to a string anymore – the result though is many scripts that used to work are now broken.
- Import the database from a fresh install that was mysqldump’d – import and then config the
config.inc.phpfile - Follow the advice here at the vtiger forum – here are the contents of the entry:
To fix theDateTimeI did this which worked:- In /modules/Calendar/Date.php
- change
class DateTimetoclass com_vtiger_DateTime - Then search and replace
new DateTimewithnew com_vtiger_DateTime, about a dozen places in Date.php
- change
- In
/modules/Calendar/Appointment.php–same search and replace, two occurrences. - In
/include/utils/RecurringType.php— search and replace several times
- In /modules/Calendar/Date.php
- set up

dude it would be great if you can elabourate more on the dreamhost installation. Like explaining the complete steps from a noob point of view.
also what version and was it source?
Thanks. Its been a couple years since on DH – a lot has changed in Vtiger and PHP since match 2007 – at the the time it was 5.03rcX running on I think php 5.1. Where exactly is the install failing?
As a side note, this vtiger code is exactly where my sys admin career took a turn for the serious – that and frustrations with DH – eventually led to my managing my own servers/VPS and now as a sys admin full time developing more code and sys admin skills. Don’t miss the TV too much, learning and tinkering with code is more exciting…
