Questions Relating to xenForo on my Server

[Dave Webster]

I recently purchased a license for xenForo and intend to use it as a forum on a content style web site.

Due to the site's subject I'm sure the forum will remain quite small. But I'm concerned about server resources. I have a CPanel VPS with 1 gig RAM and plenty of bandwidth. All together I have about 2o sites, all content style sites (no CMS, no other fora).

A few very small mySQL databases.

Last server status showed:

System information
Server load 0.15 (16 CPUs)
Memory Used 27.33% (286,532 of 1,048,576)
Swap Used 0% (0 of 1)

Any caveats about adding xenForo to the server?

That VPS isn't even being tickled! You should have no issues what so ever putting a XenForo install on there.

Nothing to worry about. XF won't make any noticeable impact at all.

Welcome to XF.

 

[Dave Webster]

Thanks for the welcome and for the quick information.

I'm not very code savvy, so I'm sure to have any number of questions and problems.

Back again .. with an important question.

I had a change of mind about on which domain I want to establish the community. Is it a big deal to change the domain for registration purposes? Nothing has been installed.

Also, I want to buy that new $20 gizmo. Sound like a neat tool.

Regards

Nope, you just change the URL in your customer area

 

[Dave Webster]

Thanks, Rob. Just did that ..

.. now thinking I may wait on the upcoming upgrade release to attempt install.

DUH, just saw the thread, downloaded

Don't forget to associate your forum user name with your license so you can access the customer forums and download add-ons.

I have scanned the forum but can't seem to find where the 'Terms of Service' is located. I need to customize that a bit.

 

[Paul B]

Please associate your forum account with your license and then you can post in the customer support forums.

 

[Dave Webster]

Done

The terms and rules text is a phrase - terms_rules_text

Thanks, Brogan -- got it done.
