Hi, i am curios to understand why this great forum software can be only installed from SSH and not with a folder upload and setup file. Thanks for the help! :slight_smile:

[画像] peopleinside: This forum is not made in PHP? Hehe, I don’t think PHP is popular around here, I am sure @codinghorror et al have some strong opinions about it :smiley: Dicourse is written in a framework called Ruby on Rails, but that’s not really important. [画像] peopleinside: want tr…

I’m not part of the core team, but your question seems to be a general one about ‘why this way of doing things’. I think the short, simple answer is it is based on Linux and the hugely successful and well proven open-source package management ecosystem. Discourse is a sum of its parts. It’s not …

I do not understand. No need to setup a database?

Think of it as an application rather than a website. Providing you install on a supported OS the installer handles all the components necessary to use it. Database, webserver, libraries and code are all handled by the one installer. It’s also why Discourse can’t be installed on shared hosting, whic…

When you upload files into a folder, the code is usually executed by a PHP interpreter (a program which reads your application script files and executes the code within them), which is usually (pre)installed as part of your web server suite. However, Discourse is not written in PHP. The server side…

Thank you so much for all help.
