Last week, I finally bought my first PC since I entered the computer era. I went for a HP Pavilion dv6183ea which sports a gigantic Intel Centrino Duo 2 running at 1.83GHz, a nVidia GeForce Go 7400 with 256MBs of RAM, etc [read full specification at HP] As a Linux fan, a newbie though, I deceided to install Linux. In the meantime, our company's system admin and I prefers openSUSE so that's what I went for.

Installing SugarCRM 4.5 OS on my SuSE 10.1 was clean and nice as expected. It was just the php-json module, which SugarCRM installer stated it's optional, made SugarCRM perform very slow and in most cases exceeding execution time and leaking memory. Anyways I wanted to install the JSON module to see how things will go, but unfortunately my dear SuSE 10.1 repositories didn't like it when I made 'smart install php5-json'.

I was doing some very basic stuff with my Apache 2.2 (which is running on my work SuSE 10.1 box): I was creating symbolic links for some folders. Things were supposed to go smooth and fine but this didn't happen. Instead, Apache refused to follow the symbolic links! I quickly checked /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but everything was fine: Options Indexes FollowSymLinks I craweled Google for an hour but all posts told me I'm not missing anything.
