SugarCRM portal installation Allow Call Time Pass Reference

Question

I am installing SugarCRM Portal on my local host. In installation wizard it says that I must turn on Allow Call Time Pass Reference and I did at php.ini and stopped my apache server. When I started it back again an error occurred saying there was a fatal error.

Here is the error on my logs

"Fatal error: Directive 'allow_call_time_pass_reference' is no longer available in PHP"

I cannot continue my installation if all settings are all green. This is the only thing that is blocking me. Help Please.

Answer 1

I've got it

air4x's comment is correct but not detailed so I am here to give the detailed one.

All you have to do is go to sugarportal_dir/install/ then open checkSystem.php. There is a if statement that looks like this.

   if('0' == ini_get('allow_call_time_pass_reference')) {

   }

All you have to do is change 0 to 1:

   if('1' == ini_get('allow_call_time_pass_reference')) {

   }

That's it. Hope that helps others. And thanks for the reply air4x your logic is correct.

Answer 2

It says in the PHP documentation that this configuration option has been removed from PHP 5.4.0 onwards. http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php

If your php version is above PHP 5.4.0, try downgrading PHP.
