There is an exe file that my client downloaded (after ubantu failed to install apache from its own repository for some reason) When the exe was run, it first installed apache server on windows then it installed mysql on windows and then copied the php codes to the relevant folder and created the database in mysql initiated the browser and took it to the login page of the crm.
What you are pointing out is a function of packaging the application and, configuring the dependencies/requirements appropriately so as to enable install the application plus the relevant packages and, then using a sample configuration file to start the service.
Absolutely right sir, What i was saying is that vtigerCRM made it very easy to install and run it, where geeky expertise was not needed and first time adoption by the
client happened.
Even now, you need not have a "geeki " expert to install many packages including GNUKhata. The issue is whether we make one "monolithic" big executable file, or should we have the packages in their own installers. In any case the end user will still get a single "install" or "setup" executable which will run all the installers in proper order. So the discussion was about the internals not the user facing side.
I saw some earlier comments on it regarding security issues on postgressql packaged with GNUKhata (i dont know if thats the same thing).....
Yes, thanks to siddesh and my personal experience and tips from JTD, the problem is sorted out.
