Recommended distro
Hi, i would like to know which distro do you recommend the most to install pandora
I’ve tried Ubuntu 6.06 and 7.04 (the server version) but i’m having a lot of problems to install the modules with cpan.
Has anybody been succesful to install pandora 1.3 with a distro out of the box with just following the instructions and without tweaking scripts and all that stuff.
Thanks a lot BTW is 1.4 coming 🙂 i saw it in the svn

After fighting with several distros… OpenSuse, Ubuntu (6.06-7.04), Fedora.
I found that debian 4.0 worked perfect… it took a little bit of work, about 2 hours reading and downloading but it worked ok.
I did a network install, and only picked the basic options, and added web server and database.
After 2 hours i got it working right.
If u have any question about the process feel free to contact me.

Congratulations, you did it!
Although, it’s strange cause in Ubuntu, both 6,06 and 7,04 everything needed by pandora is in the apt-get repositories, no cpan modules needed at all.
Anyways, glad you have it running.If you have any question regarding anything related with pandora, you already know where we are 🙂
Cheers!

Well i think the main problem was that i was trying to get all the perl modules using cpan, and it showed a lot of warnings and errors, then i found that apt had the modules, so i used the beautiful aptitude manager to get all the required modules, i was going to try to install it in ubuntu, but i said “hey ubuntu is based on debian, lets stay on debian”.
I think debian is smaller and it works ok, i did it all in vmware server, now im going to try to migrate to a real machine. to see the real performance.
This 1.3 release is really awesome, more features, more pretty.
Keep up the good work guys. Buen trabajo.

Thanks !
You’re too fast :), I’m writing a “quick install guide” for 1.3 server, with all necessary apt-get commands. Also working on a graphical migration tool
