Where can I get support for UBMoD?

Email us: ccr-ubmod-list at listserv.buffalo.edu

What version of PHP is required by UBMoD?

PHP 5.3 is currently requried. See Software Requirements for more details

Why do I see "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM" in my Apache error log?

You aren't using PHP 5.3+ which is required by UBMoD.

How do I install UBMoD in a non-root URL?

You need to set a 

base_url
in the 
[portal]
section of the portal configuration file and add an 
Alias
in your Apache configuration. See Alternate Base URL Installation for more details.

Why do I see "Unknown resource attribute" in my ubmod-shredder output?

This indicates that you are using a resource attribute that UBMoD does not recognize. This isn't a problem and can be safely ignored.

Will UBMoD run on RHEL 5?

It is possible, but you must have PHP 5.3 installed and some Perl modules that aren't included with RHEL 5.

Can I use UBMoD with MySQL 5.0?

UBMoD should work with MySQL 5.0, but it hasn't been tested extensively, so we recommend MySQL 5.1.
