Top Forums Web Development Your suggestion on Forum software installation Post 302889699 by Neo on Sunday 23rd of February 2014 07:51:54 AM

A forum is less about hardware or software and is more about building a community. Having said that:

Linux is fine (LAMP). The details are not so important without any usage stats, and since you have no users, worrying about CPUs, etc. is really not important. It's easy to move from one server to another.

The forum software should be supported by a large, activity community and have an extensible system (plugins, etc.). We went with vBulletin many years ago, but I don't recommend it now because I newer versions are far too "bloated" and I don't think you should start with some older, unsupported legacy version.

Having said that, I still like our vB 3.8 system and would not change our forum to another software, because we have many years developing code and plugins for it.

So, whatever you should, you should choose some modern LAMP forum software you like that has a large community of users and plugin developers; and has a fully open extensible system you can modify, install plugins / add-ons, and easily write your own code extensions as required.

rabbitmq-plugins is a command line tool for managing RabbitMQ broker plugins. It allows one to enable, disable and browse plugins. It must be run by a user with write permissions to the RabbitMQ configuration directory. Some plugins depend on others to work correctly. rabbitmq-plugins traverses these dependencies and enables all required plugins.

Implicitly enabled plugins are automatically disabled again when they are no longer required. COMMANDS
