Hi ,

Can we install Jamroom on localhost ?
I am using Xampp. I am getting database errors saying tables can't be created.
What should I do ?
Which file to run to execute table creation easily ?

Regards
Shwetha

Hi - Welcome to JamRoom.

Installation guide is here - https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/4603/quick-install-guide

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

Jamroom does not run on Windows based servers so if you are running Xampp on a PC that could cause the issues you are having.
Try it on a Mac?

Hi Paul,

I am using Linux- Ubuntu 22.04,

PHP - version is PHP 8.1.6 on my system. using XAmpp(version 8.1.6-0) on Linux.
Mysql and MariaDB - /opt/lampp/bin/mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.4.24-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Apache
Apache version - Server version: Apache/2.4.53 (Unix)

The versions of software are compatible.

I do not have a Mac. I want to try it for localhost on this Ubuntu setup I have. Can you help?

Jamroom needs to have a domain name so you cant access it via http://localhost:8080/jamroom it needs to be on http://yoursite.test or other real domain name.

you can set domain names to resolve to just your machine by editing the /etc/hosts file on linux
sudo nano /etc/hosts
then adding a domain name that resolves locally.

There's a guide here thats a bit old but still has the main gist of setting up a server.
https://www.jamroom.net/brian/documentation/contents

particularly useful is this page:
https://www.jamroom.net/brian/documentation/guides/1211/configuring-apache-for-virtual-hosting

Which will allow you to have any number of sites on the same server.
