Jamroom 7 Beta Kickoff

Announcements


I appreciate that! Make sure you install the actual Redis server as well.

Note that I'd highly recommend getting Redis working if you can - the new Analytics module will work better with it since the Redis module allows us to store additional info in a performant way. After you get it working, make sure and create the first redis server in the module, then you can setup Redis for caching (Core -> Global Config Caching -> Active Data Cache) and for user sessions (Users -> Global Config -> Sessions -> Active Session System).

Redis is excellent as a caching and sessions DB for Jamroom.

Hope this helps!

OK yeah I don't use any RPM based linux distributions - maybe this would help:

EDIT: Looks like that is for PHP 7.4 - so search through your packages and see if there is one for PHP 8.1

OR disable the Redis module

Looks like you have the Redis module installed but do NOT have Redis support active in your PHP install. If you are on a debian based linux system (i.e. Ubuntu, debian, etc) you can install the Redis extension like:


Replace "8.1" with the actual PHP version that is active on your system. Then restart your web server.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks for the update! I'm developing on PHP 8.1 so that SHOULD all be working. This should have created an error in the public_html/data/logs/error_log file - can you check that out via FTP and let me know what the LAST lines of that file are?

Thanks!

Anyone using Mobilepay in Jamroom to receive payments?

Jamroom Developers

I'm not seeing any support for it via FoxyCart - you might check their website and see if they have a payment widget that could be installed.

Free Server Upgrades for Jamroom Hosted customers

Announcements

As some of you already know, we're in the process of moving to a new hosting data center for Jamroom Hosting, as we have access to faster and newer servers - as well as larger block storage options (up to 10TB and more).

We've already contacted several of you via Support Ticket to get your sites moved over to the new servers, and so far that has gone REALLY well. The new servers are fast and snappy.

Our new plans are listed here:

https://www.jamroom.net/hosting

We've simplified the Jamroom hosting plans and for most of you there are good upgrades in CPU power, RAM and storage space - even all 3. For those of you on the larger plans the upgrades can almost double your server power. For those of you on our older 15G, 20G and 25G plans you'll get upgrades to disk space and CPU/RAM as well. You'll want to be on one of our new servers to take advantage of the Jamroom 7 beta as they have much newer installs of PHP.

If you would like to have your sites moved to a new server make sure and contact us via Support Ticket - or follow up here and I can reach out to you with a ticket.

Thanks!

Jamroom 7 Beta Kickoff

Announcements

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to kick off the Jamroom 7 beta today - this is something we've been working on for quite some time "on the side" and we're ready to get feedback on any issues anyone may run in to with Jamroom 7.

Jamroom 7 primarily focuses on stability, bug fixes and updates to run correctly with PHP 8+ which contains a large number of changes that make it harder to maintain backwards compatibility. Thus for Jamroom 7 the minimum PHP requirement is PHP 7.1 - and that COULD change to higher as we move through the beta. My goal is to keep it at 7.1 since roughly 40% of Jamroom sites are on that version or older.

Jamroom 7 should be a clean upgrade for anyone running Jamroom 6.5 - we've already upgraded dozens of sites to the new release candidate and it's been very stable. However, I would recommend not upgrading your production sites quite yet - please test the new Jamroom 7 + updated modules on a staging or development site first and please let us know if you run in to any issues.

We also have some new modules we will be rolling out as part of the Jamroom 7 beta:

- Analytics - this is a new simple analytics module that we've started to build that we are hoping to turn into an alternate for Google Analytics for those of you who care about your user's privacy.

- Rate Limiter - this is a new module that adds a rate limiter to your site to prevent and block users/bots who hammer your site with requests

We have a few others we will be taking the wraps off of in the future as well.

If you would like to help test Jamroom 7 with us, you can do so by:

- Logging in as your admin account and going to Core -> Marketplace -> Tools -> Marketplace Channels
- Enter the Jamroom 7 beta channel code - 2r2r548l83hr4rt7 - in the "Channel Invite Code" field and then save

Now when you go to "System Updates" you should see the new Jamroom 7 Core - after updating you'll see the module updates as well. If during the Core upgrade it seems to NOT work, run an integrity check and refresh caches - that should get it working for you and you'll not need to do that going forward.

Please let us know if you run in to any issues! We hope you like the new releases.

Thanks!

My Vimeo Stopped working

Using Jamroom

HI Ken - yeah that would not surprise me that they have started charging - Vimeo has tried to reposition itself as a repository for business video hosting. In fact I can't even look at their API docs without having an account:

Move site on Jamroom hosted

Installation and Configuration

Yeah I would run an integrity check and clear caches. Also - any images that were embedded in Site Builder, blog posts, etc (basically using the WYSIWYG editor) will probably be using the old domain name and will need to be updated to the new.

Move site on Jamroom hosted

Installation and Configuration

OK I believe you should be set now. Let me know how that looks.

Also - I'm going to contact you via Support Ticket about moving your sites to a new hosting server - you're on one of our older servers and we have newer, faster servers we've been slowly moving our hosting customers over to - so be looking for that.

Thanks!
