Possible to run vbulletin off a cd?
 
One of my clients wants to run his vBulletin off a CD. He has an academic-oriented forum and wants to be able to show it around on computers without an internet connection. Of course, the CD version would not be live. Is this something that's possible with the current version of the software?

Off the top of my head, you could probably customize a Knoppix CD to do just that.

I've run vB on a thumb drive. Not sure about a CD, though; mySQL probably tries to open its DBs with write access...

Any case, I just installed appserv on the thumb drive, then installed vB. It should be noted that you may have to do something special to make it run on other computers (install services).

Hmm .. Maybe running it off a drive instead of a cd is a better idea then. I don't see my client having an issue with that, it would actually be easier for him I think.

You could not run it off a cd, mysql needs to be able to write to files, as does apache.

That completely slipped my mind. :o

Hm, good point. :D

Thinking further, you could run the server side apps (apache, mysql) off of the CD, and use a USB memory stick for the database, vB files, etc. It'd be a bit of a chore to setup, but I think as long as everything stayed pointing at /dev/memorystick (or whatever) it could be doable.
