I downloaded the latest version of JR and trying to install on a decidcated server.

I am getting a 500 internal server when trying to install here, http://crash.bamradionetwork.com/

I've checked that the requirements are all met, could it be an htaccess issue?

Yes - most likely there is a directive in the .htaccess file that is not allowed in your server config. Try removing the "ExecCGI" option from the Options line - that's one that seems to be restricted on some hosting providers.

Hope this helps!

Hi Brian,

You'll want to check the web server error log (i.e. /var/log/apache2/error_log) and see what is causing the issue - if it is mod_rewrite, then your hosting provider will need to enable mod_rewrite on your account.

Hope this helps!

Sounds like you have something custom checking the permissions of files - I've not seen that before, so I'm not sure what the solution is going to be. Maybe try 700 instead for directories and 600 for files?

Hi Brian,

We want to create an environment where users can create an account and upload their audio/podcasts/radio shows. We also want the ability to moderate/approve what is uploaded/published.

Which modules should we purchase to achieve this?

That should be no problem - since those are all audio based, you'd want the audio module at a minimum. The core already adds the moderation, so there's nothing extra you need there.

Depending on anything extra you might want, we have a lot of free modules that can help you out, and we have good bundle deals on others:

https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/bundle

Check those out and let me know if you have any followup questions.

All the modules (free and paid) are easily installed from directly within your Jamroom - just click on the "Marketplace".

Hope this helps!

Hi Brian,

Purchased a couple modules, works great.

Quick question. We would like to have the option for users to add the URL of a audio file as well as upload one.

Is there a module which does that?

We purchased the Audio module but just want users to be able to add an audio file by linking to one on another server.

Thanks.

The audio module does not do that out of the box, but you could use the form designer to add in an "audio_url" field, and make the audio_file field NOT required - then in your audio templates do a check:

{if strlen($item.audio_url) > 0}
    .... show the link ....
{else}
    .... show the player and other info ....
{/if}

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

We purchased the Sharethis module however I can't get the social icons to appear.

I did signup for a free account with Sharethis and entered the PubKey in the admin.

Any ideas?
