possible bugs in beta core?
Using Jamroom
Just remember that I can't set your server up for you. We've gone down this path quite a number of times in the past, and I've recommended that you do not run your own server. I know you've figured out how to do quite a number of things on your own, and I'm not trying to disparage your effort and desire to figure it out - we just can't be your sysadmin source.
You're going to need to install the latest PHP by adding a custom ppa:

This will NOT work if you are not using Debian/Ubuntu. I cannot help you if you're using a RH linux derivative.
Who are you renting your server from? Can they not set this up for you and ensure everything is working? I know you contacted us a while back about setting up a custom server for you - I never heard back from you. I believe we were able to meet the cost you needed, so let me know if you're ready to move on from futzing with server stuff
