Xenforo beta released (vBulletin competitor)

http://xenforo.com

Looks really promising from what I played with, but I haven't installed it on FQ yet, as it uses mysqli, and I'm not sure if mysqli is supported by FQ or not.

The server requirement script said that there weren't any errors on the FQ platform, but I seem to remember Terra mentioning that mysqli wasn't turned on or something.

In similar news, the owners of vBulletin decided to sue xenforo and its owners, the day before the beta software was released.

The requirements page (http://xenforo.com/purchase/) indicates MySQL5 with one of the extensions required being MySQLi which as far as I know is enabled and available and has been discussed in regards to VB in this post:

They also provide a test script which I used to test on of my accounts which resulted in:


XenForo 1.0 System Requirements Test
Requirements Met

Your server meets all of XenForo's PHP requirements.
XenForo also requires MySQL 5.0 or newer. Please manually check that you meet this requirement.


To tell if you are using MySQL5 already just visit your CNC MySQL Manager and you will see: MySQL Version:
