This page contains high level installation instructions of Q2A as part of Pilviväylä service.

We use question2answer platform as the basis for kysy -service. It's an open source clone of legendary Stack Overflow / Stack exchange.

Quick and dirty installation from scratch

You'll need:

  • MySQL database with root access
  • question2answer code, get it from http://www.question2answer.org
  • Server with "enough" memory and web server (we use Apache2)
  • Server needs to have php5 installed (version?)

More detailed information about installing Q2A can be found from http://www.question2answer.org
