Hi Julian
This issue looks like it may be an issue connecting with the API on the CRM side.
Can you try in a browser navigating to {your crm url}/Api/access_token e.g https://mycrm.com/Api/access_token and seeing what response you get.
You should get a response "Method not allowed",
If not and you get a error, you may need to look at configuring the API on your CRM server. if that is the case then the guide here may help you https://docs.suitecrm.com/developer/api/developer-setup-guide/json-api/#_generate_private_and_public_key_for_oauth2

Dear team, thank you for your quick response. Indeed, I cannot open the url. The document is not found. I tried to follow your guide, but I don't get along with the second part "Authentification". I cannot find a folder "Account" in den Folder /Api/V8 and I cannot even find a folder "V8" in the root directory of SuiteCRM. Can you give me a hint how to go on now? Thank you in advance.

Dear team, I am still busy on solving the iussue. Unfortunately, I did not get an answer to the question, why I do not find the Folder Accunt in my directory. Can you give me a hint about it? SuiteCRM will replace SalesForce in my company, as soon as I get the plugin running. Thanks

the account folder is in modules e.g modules/Accounts but I not sure why you looking for this or what issue your are having with it?
4 years ago
Dear team, the reason why I was still looking for this, is because the plugin does not work and I am not sure where to find the error. This was a point which does not correspond to the manual. Can you please give me a hint about the entries in the log file, please? Plase let me know, if you need more information. Thanks a lot.

Dear team, I am still in trouble with the add-on. Although I have read your link about the OAuth2 I don't find a solution for the authentification issue. I had a look into the "suitecrm.log", but I don't understand the error message.
Can you tell me, what mistake I make, please? Thank you very much.

You may wish to check that your database is sync with the CRM, to do this go into 'Admin' the select 'Repair' and then run 'Quick Repair and Rebuild'
Once this is complete scroll down to the bottom of the screen and it will highlight if there are any database inconsistencies and it will give you opportunity to correct them , if so run that,
Repeat the step and run the repair again to make sure the database is now in sync and try again on outlook.

Dear team, thanks for the help. I was a bit shy to change the database. After adding the columns to the database I rebuilt it, but the login error from outlook still exists. Regarding the "suitecrm.log" file, I see the following logs:
What is the meaning? Where can I add the SubPanelDefinition property? Thank you! Best regards

so if you go into the admin section of your CRM, then go the outlook Plugin admin section, at the bottom of the page there should be a Users sub-panel do you see that, doe sit load successfully?

Is it correct, that there are no active OAuth2 tokens?

have you created the private and public keys like we suggested above https://docs.suitecrm.com/developer/api/developer-setup-guide/json-api/#_generate_private_and_public_key_for_oauth2
what result does this give now?

I checked once again the keys, but I still get the error: The requested URL was not found on this server.

what is you server setup for the CRM are you using Linux? Apache, php-fpm, nginx, windows, something else?
4 years ago
Ubuntu 20.04, Apache 2, php7.4, mariadb 10

ok it sound like you crm is potentially not setup correctly
I would guess it may be the Apache definition
So I would suggest you check you Apache config for the CRM and it should be setup with something like the example below, with key point AllowOveride set to All, this is required for the Htacess to take effect
If you need to set AllowOveride to
all
then restart/reload Apache and try again4 years ago
Thank you very much. This was the mistake. This case can be closed. :)
