Motagator
"When I was first introduced to Jamroom, it looked a useful application to manage the bands in which I play, or am associated, on a single website. It installed and ran successfully, and only then did I realize what Jamroom was about and its potential. Opening my site up to other bands I knew, I had a few takers, and am now in the process of promoting Motagator further. Motagator is open to all genres of music, but specializes in Cajun, Zydeco, Folk, Roots and Blues (my favorites). I'll be staying with Jamroom, wherever Brian takes it - it has been, and will be an interesting adventure."

How do I tell if PHP is running as an Apache Module or CGI?

There currently are 2 common “modes” of running PHP on a server - as a standalone CGI program, or as an Apache module. It’s important to understand the mode your server is operating in.

If the "Web Server" section of the Server Details shows "Apache", then your PHP is running as an Apache module, and the following directories (including all files and folders inside) should be "owned" by the user that Apache is running as:
- jamroom/members
- jamroom/media
- jamroom/uploads
- jamroom/logs
- jamroom/compile
If the "Web Server" section of the Server Details instead shows ANY form of "CGI" (i.e. "cgi/fastcgi", "CGI", "cgi"), then it means PHP is running as a CGI module, and ALL files and directories in your Jamroom should be owned by your User Account.
