Xenforo Seeking help with setting up xenforo

I'm quite new and have much to learn, I'm setting op a droplet at digitalocean hoping to use cloudflare and aws SES for mail handling, but it is such a complex world to me.

---

Currently I have nothing but a droplet with almalinux 9 setup, I have been recommeneded to use centminmod a couple of times now, but I finding it hard to figure out where to begin from.

I am hoping there's some kind souls out there, that can guide med through it or give some kind of step guide to move my xenforo from shared hosting to a droplet successfully with working mails and connected to cloudflare and certbot for https?. Thank you!

 

I see some of these informations are from 3 years ago, can I still use it on my almalinux setup?

 

I'm finally going through setting it up now. I'm getting all of these errors, I'm unsure of how to handle them.

I actually think my issue is I'm running almalinux 9, it seems like only 8 is supported?

 

I think i'm going to drop the droplet and try again on almelinux 8, i don't want to debug it if the version can be an issue.

Nothing important on it, just testing this out.

 

Now trying to install following this guide: https://community.centminmod.com/th...-mod-on-almalinux-8-rocky-linux-8-oses.23261/

The step i've reached is:
screen -r cminstall

But the command is not found. I've run the previous commands.

 

I'm a bit new to this, how do I run screen or tmux?

 

Responds like this, seems like my install has become murderous

 

Hmm reinstalled the instance and just ran

from https://community.centminmod.com/th...-mod-on-almalinux-8-rocky-linux-8-oses.23261/

Ending in:


So I assume that I should just use CentOS, thought that AlmaLinux was supported.

 

Setting it up on centOS works great, so I guess I should just go with centOS 8?
