Jamroom 5 is in beta at this stage, so these requirements can change:

PHP 5.3 +
MySQL 5.1+ (not tested on 5.0 although it might work - if anyone has tested this please let us know)

The following PHP extensions are required:

- MySQLi (mysql improved) extension

The following PHP extensions are recommended:

- APC (op code caching - seriously speeds up Jamroom)
- GD and FreeType
- Multibyte string extension (-enable-mbstring)

Note that Jamroom 5 is being developed on PHP 5.3.6+ so it is recommended to run on PHP 5.3 if possible. It should run well on PHP 5.4. Support for PHP installs older than 5.3 is not planned.

Been poking aound looking for the JR5 install instructions.

Sometimes it's just easier to ask, so, Where are the installation instructions?

I have tried to set up both the alpha and the new beta, with the same results both times... install.php scripts runs, provides a link to the site and, voila! ... no site... just the same files I had uploaded, in a directory with no index files, etc.

What am I doing wrong?

CentOS Linux 6.3
Apache version 2.2.15
MySQL version 5.1.61
PHP 5.3.3-14.el6_3

Sounds like mod_rewrite is not enabled on your server, or you have not copied the .htaccess file from the JR5 core zip file to your JR5 directory. Make sure the .htaccess file is there and mod_rewrite is active in your apache (and allowed in your document root). I use ubuntu here so not sure if it is the same, but you should be able to do:

a2enmod rewrite

as root then /etc/init.d/http restart to activate it.

Hope this helps!

Jamroom5 doesn't have an index.php file. The .htaccess file does all the routing. Have you uploaded the .htaccess file?

So it looks like I need to switch hosting services. Did we ever end up getting documentation on setting up the environment for JR? What are the configuration requirements for apache, mysql, and php? I remember seeing something a long time ago but never needed it because I always used the Jamroom virtual machine or jamroom hosting. Now I need to set up the lamp stack from scratch and don't know what needs to be done.

I've had to disable symlinks in the htaccess file on one server - it gave a 500 error until I commented out that line so you could try that.

@andersda - simplest way is just to install MAMP/WAMP or similar to work locally

The latest jr5 beta 7 should run great on PHP 5.4 with STRICT error logging enabled (although you don't want that on for production).

1. From what i understand, wamp is no longer supported. If it is I'd love it if someone could recommend a stack.
2. I was actually planning on installing this on a public server. The host requires me to install and configure apache, php, and mysql from scratch.
3. I was looking for a configuration of these 3. e.g. what are the security requirements for apache? What changes do you need to make to the php config? etc.

1) The only way you'll be able to run on Windows is creating a linux install in a VM (i.e. vmware, virtualbox, etc.).

2) You might consider a hosting company that will make sure this is setup properly for you - without experience doing this can be tricky to setup correctly. You'll want PHP 5.3 (minimum), MySQL 5.5 and Apache 2.2x. You can probably find some guides on setting up a "LAMP stack" online that would walk you through it.

3) For apache, you just need mod_rewrite enabled (a2enmod rewrite). For PHP, you'll likely want to set the max upload size as outlined in the FAQ: http://www.jamroom.net/FAQ_2mb_PHP_Upload_Limit . Other than that Jamroom should work well on a default install.

Hope this helps!

1. Thats what I thought, but even in this senario you have to configure the stack. i.e. permisison, etc like you describe
2. I was using JB servers but their "jamroom hosting" package is now presenting some limitations that can only be overcome bt using a dedicated server. Hence, problem #1. Don't know any other hosts that will configure the environment for you. I don't WANT to be configuring the environment, and I probably shouldn't, but don't have much choice. It would be great if there was an Amazon AMI equivalent of Jamdev. (hint hint). This would definitely make deploying new Jamroom instances a breeze.
3. Will try. Wish me luck.

Will JR5 work with MYSQL 5.5?
