Old Vanilla forum dead - can anyone help an indie band?

chairsmissing — Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:45:33 +0000

Hello, everyone. So I built Wire's website, pinkflag.com, and we've long used an old version of Vanilla (1.1.x), which was working perfectly until yesterday. (And, yes, we should have upgraded the version being used, but didn't. Lesson abruptly learned.)

I don't know whether anyone here has any experience with older Vanilla, or just likes Wire and fancies helping out some old punks, but the current status of the forum is this: http://www.pinkflag.com/talk/

No settings have been adjusted by me nor the band. I don't really know where to start, although the 11147416 number is curious in that being part of the path to the DB host, which surely can't be a coincidence?

login (cookie) issues with Chrome.

pkells — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 00:28:05 +0000

I'm pretty new to vanilla, so excuse my ignorance where it appears :) I've set up vanilla in a test environment so my path to the test version is http://{ip address}/vanilla - all is moving along just fine except I can't login using Chrome. I can login using any other browser (safari, firefox, IE, opera). In chrome I enter the login credentials and just get returned to the login screen - no error is reported. If I enter bogus details I get the error "Some problems were encountered". No cookie is being created (PHPSESSION) which I'm assuming at this stage is the problem, however I'm having some trouble working out how to fix it. The issue is limited to chrome - (Incedentially I'm posting this from chrome, so it clearly works on this instance of Vanilla) Anyway I'm assuming the issue is local and likely to be config based (be it the vanilla config or php/apache config) Any help would be appreciated - thanks in advance A few details... ====================== Chrome version 1.0.154.46 PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch11 Vanilla version - 1.1.5a config (I've disabled all extensions) $Configuration['SETUP_TEST'] = '1'; $Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/var/www/vanilla/themes/Vanbook/'; $Configuration['DEFAULT_STYLE'] = '/vanilla/themes/Vanbook/styles/default/'; $Configuration['WEB_ROOT'] = '/vanilla/'; $Configuration['BASE_URL'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/vanilla/'; $Configuration['FORWARD_VALIDATED_USER_URL'] = 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/vanilla/'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_EMAIL'] = 'xxxx@xxxxxxxx'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_NAME'] = 'xxxx; $Configuration['APPLICATION_TITLE'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'; $Configuration['BANNER_TITLE'] = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'; $Configuration['COOKIE_DOMAIN'] = 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'; $Configuration['COOKIE_PATH'] = '/'; $Configuration['SETUP_COMPLETE'] = '1'; $Configuration['DATABASE_VERSION'] = '2'; $Configuration['ADDON_NOTICE'] = '0'; $Configuration['USE_CATEGORIES'] = '0'; $Configuration['LOG_ALL_IPS'] = '1'; $Configuration['PUBLIC_BROWSING'] = '0'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_Limit'] = '28'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_Archive'] = '0'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_MenuTab'] = '0'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_OpenStickies'] = '1'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_OpenWhispers'] = '1'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_OpenCategories'] = '0'; $Configuration['AUTOCLOSE_SETUP'] = '1.3'; $Configuration['NO_SHIT_VERSION'] = '0.2'; $Configuration['NO_SHIT_REPLACEMENT_STRING'] = '****';

Cookie Path Settings

k4zzy — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 14:05:26 +0000

I just upgraded to Vanilla 1, hoping that it would fix some problems I've been having with Vanilla since I started using it. It may be a problem on my server, but I'm hoping it can be resolved nonetheless. The cookie path setting isn't being applied to cookies. My Cookie Domain is set to www.domain.com, and my Cookie Path is set to /path-to-vanilla/. However, all the cookies that Vanilla sets are as follows (as seen in the Camino cookie list): Website: .bcdynamic.com Name: vanillaname Path: / My server is running PHP v4.4.2 and MySQL v4.1.19-standard. Any suggestions?

Secure/Private RSS feeds?

rubio — Wed, 19 Jul 2006 13:27:27 +0000

For private forums, how do you guys handle it? I've installed the RSS extension but it makes me authenticate, but can't authenticate for some reason. Would be nice if there were an option to have a unique URL so that only the user will know what URL to go to (kind of like how Backpack works).

Users having to log in twice?

chr!s — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:11:03 +0000

While I'm fixing things on my forum, I thought I'd address this issue as well! Before I launch into the problem, I'm really grateful for all the help everyone here provides. You guys all make Vanilla so much more appealing. Anyway, on with the problem... Lots of my users are complaining that they have to log into my forum twice. It's a variety of users on different platforms and browsers... but it doesn't affect me. Even though the cookie is set to the forum (and sub-domains), it doesn't remember a lot of people as well. I've done a search but can't find a discussion here that addresses the problem. Any ideas?

Hey all! Does Vanilla support multiple ranks (ribbons or such) like xenforo does?!

Vanilla 1 and PHP 5.6

KristianB — Mon, 23 Feb 2015 11:36:56 +0000

For more than 5 years I have been using a discussion forum based on Vanilla 1. Everything has been working splendidly! I have adapted one of the themes with colours and general appearance to fit our particular purpose. I have seen no reason for upgrading to Vanilla 2 - and wouldn't know how to change the appearance of the forum for it to look similar to the present one. However, now our web hotel is upgraded til PHP 5.6. This prevents the forum from being displayed and results in error messages that I am unable to interpret. Does anyone offer any assistance in making the necessary changes in the Vanilla 1 code in order to be compatible with PHP 5.6? I would very much like to continue with the forum we use today without having to upgrade to Vanilla 2 - thus avoiding all the troubles with changing design, functions etc. and the risk of crashing our database (5 years of data!)!

Hi, I'm trying to migrate an old 1.x vanilla forum to the current release.

I have done the following:

loaded the old data into a MySQL database (on what will be the new server - running Debian Wheezy and up to date)
put the latest exporter tool into my webroot on the new server
visited it in my browser
filled in the details to point to where the data lives
pressed the "Begin Export" button

This results in a 200 response from the script but with no content at all, and no download is offered. No errors or warnings are logged in Apache.

Where should I start looking?

Thanks.

Need to download the last 1.x version

jcncnc — Thu, 18 Dec 2014 16:21:11 +0000

I need to download the last 1.x version because a few weeks after I installed 2.0, my database got corrupted. And the only copy of the database I have was from before I installed 2.0. So I need to reinstall 1.x, then restore the database, then upgrade to 2.x.

Can anyone tell me where I could get a copy of the last 1.x version?

Thanks so much!

For some reason when a new user trys to sign up they are getting the error below, We have not knowingly changed anything on ther server or software. Is this a server file/folder permissions problem if so what?

Thank You

"Forbidden

Can I change text on new member application form?

houyhnhnm — Fri, 01 May 2009 09:31:33 +0000

I think the text on the new member application form is excessively hostile and long and I'd like to change it. I did a global search on some of the words in the text and couldn't find them. Where is this text coming from? I would also like to change "Apply for membership" on the log-in screen to "Join the forum", but I couldn't find where that text is printed either. Thanks, Houyhnhnm

Any idea where I can download Vanilla 1 series files?

yofal — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:06:43 +0000

I don't seem to have a "conf" folder in my current install (1.1.2) and need to move to a new server, so I am completely at a loss as to where the connection parameters are now stored…

Anyone?
