Prerequisites
=============
- PHP 5.2.3+. It may be possible to run this software on earlier
versions of PHP, but many of the functions used are only available
in PHP 5.2 or above. 5.2.6 or later is needed for XMPP background
- daemons on 64-bit platforms. PHP 5.3.x should work but is known
- to cause some failures for OpenID.
+ daemons on 64-bit platforms. PHP 5.3.x should work correctly in this
+ release, but problems with some plugins are possible.
- MySQL 5.x. The StatusNet database is stored, by default, in a MySQL
server. It has been primarily tested on 5.x servers, although it may
be possible to install on earlier (or later!) versions. The server
to null.
stomp_persistent: keep items across queue server restart, if enabled.
+ Under ActiveMQ, the server configuration determines if and how
+ persistent storage is actually saved.
+
+ If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
+ need to disable this if it does not support persistence.
+
+stomp_transactions: use transactions to aid in error detection.
+ A broken transaction will be seen quickly, allowing a message
+ to be redelivered immediately if a daemon crashes.
+
+ If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
+ need to disable this if it does not support transactions.
+
+stomp_acks: send acknowledgements to aid in flow control.
+ An acknowledgement of successful processing tells the server
+ we're ready for more and can help keep things moving smoothly.
+
+ This should *not* be turned off when running with ActiveMQ, but
+ if using another message queue server that does not support
+ acknowledgements you might need to disable this.
softlimit: an absolute or relative "soft memory limit"; daemons will
restart themselves gracefully when they find they've hit
dead_letter_dir: for stomp, optional directory to dump data on failed
queue processing events after discarding them.
+stomp_no_transactions: for stomp, the server does not support transactions,
+ so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
