Installing Vtiger on Godaddy
1. You will need either a Linux hosting account or a Windows account with IIS7 installed. Olderversions of IIS will not support PHP so you must use IIS7. This is kind of a pain, as there are
several features that are not supported under IIS7 that were supported under IIS6 and below.
2. Create a MySQL database using the hosting database tool. Make sure that you use version 5and let it create a DSN.
After the database is created, it is important to note the host name of the database server. Youwill need this later on. It will be something like hostname.secureserver.net.
3. Now create a folder to install Vtiger into. You can use the Content | File Manager utility inGodaddy:

4. Expand the vtiger install zip file to your local pc, then use an FTP client like Filezilla to uploadthe entire directory structure and files to your hosting directory.
5. Once everything is uploaded, use the Godaddy file manager to change permissions on thefolder and all subdirectories to read and write and check the box to reset all children to inheiritpermissions. (note: this is just to install, later you will want to change everything back to read onlyexcept your upload directories)
6. Create a new file called php.ini in the root directory of your hosting account. If you are usingIIS7 under Windows hosting, then you will need to call this file php5.ini. Unfortunately underWindows hosting there is a master php.ini file for the server, not just your hosting account, sosome of the values set are out of your control. I have found that using the php5.ini settings below
will work.
PHP.INI – Linux or PHP5.INI - Windows

7. Now log into your Vtiger instance and follow the install instructions. Everything should run asexpected.
Under Windows you may get 500 or 501 errors due to timeouts. It happens mostly when you runlong running processes like export functions or batch updates. I find that the best way to avoidthese is to break jobs down into few numbers of records and run the job in several batches ratherthan all at once.
Make sure to back up your database periodically. Godaddy has a simple backup function whichwill create SQL as well as data files which will allow you to recover your database. The backuputility is available on database management page of Godaddy. The backups are saved to the
_db_backups directory. Download the files in this directory periodically using FTP.
Forget getting help from Godaddy. They will not help you in any way. Completely useless.
