Before you install Sugar, set AllowOverride to All for the Sugar installation directory in the httpd.conf file. After you install Sugar, an .htaccess file is created in your Sugar installation directory.

There are at least 3 instances of AllowOverride. The first is for the root directory (/). The second is for /var/www. The third and the setting you need to change is /var/www/html.

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Search for AllowOverride (for /var/www/html)
AllowOverride None
Change from None to All
Write, Quit, Now
:wq!

vi /etc/hosts
<localhost_ip> sugarcrm.yourdomain.com sugarcrm
<localhost_ip> sugarcrm
Write, Quit, Now
:wq!

Navigate to the php.ini file located in your Sugar root directory and set the variables_order parameter to EGPCS.
vi /etc/php.ini
Search for upload_max_filesize and change from 2M to 20M
upload_max_filesize =
Search for variables_order and change from GPCS to EGPCS
variables_order =
Search for date.timezone
; date.timezone =
Uncomment and set to America/Chicago as such
date.timezone = America/Chicago
Write, Quit, Now
:wq!

unzip SugarCE-Full-6.5.20.zip
ls
You should see an html directory, your new, abbreviated SugarCE-Full-6.5.20.zip file, and a new directory named SugarCE-Full-6.5.20

Output Example

cd SugarCE-Full-6.5.20
mv * /var/www/html
cd ..
rm -rf SugarCE-Full-6.5.20

16. Create empty .htaccess file (Installation is supposed to do this automatically but I ran into problems so I created a blank one that can be written to)
