Introduction

There are various ways space members can learn about updates to a space. Some ways are pre-configured by a site administrator while other methods allow individual space members to control both the notifications they receive and generate.

Troubleshooting Installation

The most common problem encountered during installation is the lack of system resources on your web server. Be sure to follow the instructions in the System Requirements section shown above. If you still have trouble, try doing a plain Drupal 7 installation using the links in the previous section to ensure that your host is capable of installing Drupal itself.

See child pages of this section for more troubleshooting issues

Actual Installation

To install Open Atrium the first time, you will run the "install.php" script from your web browser. NOTE when using a hosting company such as Pantheon, it will run install.php for you. The Install script will take you through multiple pages of steps. There is very little difference between this process and a normal Drupal site installation except that it takes longer to install the large number of modules.

Open Atrium Versioning and Releases

Open Atrium currently has a monthly bug and security update, and a quarterly Feature release. Security updates will be monthly unless it's a critical issue.

There is currently no automatic upgrade path from Open Atrium 1.x to 2.x, however there has been some work on creating a migration path.

Getting the Open Atrium files

Before you can install Open Atrium, you need to get the files. There are two different methods for this:

Problem:

Your styles look great on all browsers except older versions of Internet Explorer (e.g., IE6 thru IE9).

Cause:

You're probably encountering the 4095 css selector limitation in IE6 thru IE10. This is a limit of the number of selectors per css file.
