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:

https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php

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 :)

mod_php works fine with PHP 7 - we're running 7.2 here on jamroom.net.

If you are using Redis, there is going to be a new beta version of the Redis module released. It requires php-redis now and no longer uses the Predis library.

I'll check on the counts - we just recently had to redo how the counts worked.

This is just issues on your server. You want to turn off open_basedir.

I know you inquired some time ago about us running a server for you - if you're ready to move on from banging your head against the wall with your own server, let us know :)

User Update Changed dashboard ?
Using Jamroom

You are using the Redis module - we need to first update your server to PHP 7 and then get you updated to the newest Redis cache module. For now, you can go into your ACP -> System Core -> Global Config and set the "active cache system" to the "Core Cache" and save.

Contact us with a support ticket when you're ready to update.

Let me know if that helps.

Send attachment in mail
Jamroom Developers

The fourth parameter to the jrCore_send_email function is an "options" array - you can send attachments by including them in the "attachments" key for the options array - i.e.

$_options = array(
    'attachments' => array(
        '/full/path/to/attachment1',
        '/full/path/to/attachment2'
    )
);
jrCore_send_email(address, 'subject', 'message', $_options);

Let me know if that helps.

new server (very fast) still some issues remain
Installation and Configuration

Correct- if you need profile domains then use Apache with mod_php if you can. If you really need the per-user process handling of fastcgi then you'll want to play with it - it's not something we develop or test on.

Jamroom Handling Huge Traffic flawlessly
Off Topic

I saw this come in last week and wanted to say "thanks" for the awesome report. I do a lot of low level optimization work on JR and it makes me happy to see it pay off :)

Thanks!

Also - here's the JR system requirements page:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/774/server-requirements

It's not going to talk about fastcgi since we would never recommend it. I will get something on there that specifically tells you to NOT use it.

I've only got 2 minutes here so can't follow up much but you should NOT be using fastcgi. You need to be using Apache with mod_php OR nginx with php-fpm - both of these work really well with JR with minimal fuss.

I've built literally hundreds of servers and have not had any of the issues you are posting. If you want to go witth php-fpm I can post the nginx.conf file and www.conf file I personally use.
