Case Study: SugarCRM runs successfully on Cloud Foundry

SugarCRM runs on Cloud Foundry with 1 app instance in 256M

SugarCRM, a well-known open-source CRM software provider, needed to run its PHP application on a cloud platform. The challenge was to successfully deploy and configure SugarCRM on Cloud Foundry, which required specific PHP extensions and Apache modules not included by default, and to ensure that application configurations would persist after a reboot.

Cloud Foundry addressed this by using a specific PHP buildpack to add the necessary extensions and modules. The solution involved binding a MySQL service and successfully running the SugarCRM installation wizard. After deployment, Cloud Foundry ensured configurations were maintained across reboots by saving and redeploying critical configuration files. This allowed SugarCRM to run continuously on the platform without needing reinstallation after each reboot.
