Pandastream is working on Amazon servers.</p> <p>So If want to choose a hosted VPS server for MediaCore: what should I choose: linode.com with setting up an initial storage for uploaded files to Amazon bucket or should I better choose an Amazon based cloud server? What is faster?</p> <p>Where do MediaCore upload content given by the user? </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/any-free-hosting-for-mediacore#post-2553 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:36:49 +0000 Jeremy 2553@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>The Cloud Beta is free at the moment:<br /> <a href="http://mediacore.com/signup" rel="nofollow">http://mediacore.com/signup</a> </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/any-free-hosting-for-mediacore#post-2547 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 11:48:27 +0000 manishchiniwalar 2547@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Hi, please share here if you find any free hosting for mediacore.

Multiple photos per item are possible (though uploading is not really sketched out).</p> <p>For pricing best contact me directly (info@schwarz.eu) as this really depends on your needs. Probably for the first version I won't build all possible features (otherwise I need to charge a 5-figure euro amount) but just a minimal set which will be enough for you and can be extended later on. If I can get 3-5 participants sharing the cost, a simple solution would be a between 500-900 € each (ball park!). </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/forumhosting-banner-ads#post-2345 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 05:57:22 +0000 brapster 2345@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>hey Felix, i would defiantly be interested in a photo/pic modification if you did one, how much would it cost and do you have any examples around the place? </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/forumhosting-banner-ads#post-2296 Mon, 30 May 2011 15:31:40 +0000 Felix Schwarz 2296@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>I'd like to add that I built a very simplistic image upload feature for MediaCore 0.8. The feature was asked a couple of times but so far there was no real commercial interest so I did not port my code to 0.9.</p> <p>Probably this would require some MediaCore modifications (which I'd try to get upstream) + some plugin code. At least simple image support is absolutely feasible, however without some paying customers I can't work on that currently. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/forumhosting-banner-ads#post-2288 Mon, 30 May 2011 07:39:45 +0000 Jeremy 2288@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>1. MediaCore can run on any server that supports Python and MYSQL. You will need root access to install some of the required libraries. I'm not sure if hostgator meets these requirements.<br /> 2. Yes it is possible. Under advertising in settings you can add html code for any banners you wish to run (adwords etc.)<br /> 3. No, MediaCore is strictly focussed on video - if you want a forum you will need to use something in conjunction with MediaCore. In the past we have run vbulletin, punbb, and bbpress alongside MediaCore.<br /> 4. No.<br /> 5. You can test on the mac (this is how we develop MediaCore) see install instructions for OSX in the docs: <a href="http://mediacore.com/docs/install/requirements.html#step-1a-first-requirements-in-mac-os-x" rel="nofollow">http://mediacore.com/docs/install/requirements.html#step-1a-first-requirements-in-mac-os-x</a> </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/forumhosting-banner-ads#post-2260 Sat, 28 May 2011 09:56:00 +0000 kikalomy 2260@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>hi there, sorry for the many questions but i am new to this ;p </p> <p>1.i have a site with hostgator &amp; a wordpress blog can mediacore be integrated with my blog &amp; be hosted on hostgator?<br /> 2. i want to run various banner adds on the site is this possible?<br /> 3. do you have a forum feature i would like a forum on my site is this possible?<br /> 4. i want to have an image gallery do u have this feature<br /> 5. can i test mediacore locally on my mac 10.5.6 using mamp?</p> <p>thank you in advance for any help or tips x </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1910 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 14:18:53 +0000 hansel 1910@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>anyupdate? </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1884 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:29:42 +0000 hansel 1884@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>nice! </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1883 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:04:38 +0000 JamesQualls 1883@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Sorry ive been a little side tract however both my ubuntu and centos videos<br /> Shall be done and readily available by tonight </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1879 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:35:50 +0000 hansel 1879@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>i m waiting for your video instruction!!!! </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1848 Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:30:18 +0000 jirik 1848@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>Yes, it'll be great :) </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/centos-55-installation#post-1840 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:58:56 +0000 Jeremy 1840@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>If you can it would be great to have a little install video.

We recommend our Standard account for mediacore. We do not give root ssh on shared accounts, however, full root is not required to self install.<br /> (see documentation)<br /> We would also advise paying for the installs by the hosting company no matter who you choose. Its a complicated setup, aned well worth your money to have it done for you. It will save many hours of time and energy best spent on other things. </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/please-suggest-the-best-hosting#post-1411 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:33:15 +0000 Jeremy 1411@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>These guys may be able to help: <a href="http://www.pacifichost.com/mediacore-hosting.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.pacifichost.com/mediacore-hosting.shtml</a> </p> http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/topic/please-suggest-the-best-hosting#post-1408 Mon, 14 Mar 2011 06:51:30 +0000 djhalleu 1408@http://mediacorecommunity.org/community/ <p>"We are aware of the hosting issue and are currently looking at partnering with a number of hosting providers to help people with installs.
