I have been trying to install V2 on Godaddy for several days, tried everything but it wont work.
Can someone here help me with the installation?

2) what is the url of the info page if you pm me the account details i can have it set up in less than 10 minuites but you have to trust me :S

Linc

@vflix Huh? It says he has PDO already.

@vuzer Are you getting an error message? Can you describe the problem you're having?

vuzer

@Lincon This is what it looks like when i enter the site:

Im no Godaddy so it may have something to do with the paths to the sub domain.

@vflix i have sent you the link via PM

vuzer

viflix where did you go? Hope you can find that 10 min to help me. I would really appreciate you help.

@vuzer I think this is a recurring issue with Vanilla and GoDaddy hosting. It's possibly related to this: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/9758/Vanilla-2-Installation-Error/

vuzer

Any chance some one with technical skill can help me test the installation.
I can provide all the logins and database info for the installation.

Try putting the following in your .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews

So it should look like:

Options -MultiViews <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule>

vuzer

I tested to add the first like, but it only loads the text seen on screen shot above and the url changes to:
http://mydomain.com/index.php/garden/gardensetup

vuzer

Any other suggestions? I still get the "No input file specified."
I contacted godaddy support but they will not help me :-(

Thank you for contacting Online Support. Unfortunately we are not able to provide the most recent version of vanillaforums at this time. We release updates on our system once they have passed our security testing.

Hi @vuzer - The "No input file specified" error is likely to be caused by a Apache / .htaccess configuration error as its an error message thrown by the PHP CGI engine, so this error is technically outside of Vanilla.

Having a quick Google, people seem to have success with other packages by "tweaking" their .htaccess file. Maybe try deleting everything in it and changing it to:

Options +FollowSymLinks Options -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

vuzer

@benno
Thanks, but still same "No input file specified."
Do i need to do anything else after editing and uploading the .htaccess ??

Can you link to the info your have googled?

benno

Hi @vuzer - I just did a generic search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=godaddy+htaccess+"no+input+file+specified"&amp;meta=&amp;aq=f&amp;oq=

And looked for pointers... Obviously you'll need the RewriteCond's from Vanilla, as they are specific to this project. Unfortunately I cant assit more, its been a good few years since I've used shared hosting and a LAMP stack. I have a test box running here in a virtual machine that runs CentOS and it works perfectly, however, I have full control over Apache and PHP configuration and its not on a locked down shared host.

Only other thing I can suggest is that you have setup read/write permissions to the /cache folder and /conf/config.php file/folder.

vuzer

thank you for your suggestions.
I have set the permissions to 777 but still same thing...
Im very close to giving up on this...
i just hope V2 will be released via godaddy connection....

kaos

Sorry i was away on my holes just got back been promoted to mod as i said sorry i can not help you the only thing that i can think of is swapping host to host to try and find one thats how i found mine

vuzer

which host are you running v2 on?
moving domain and host will cost few bucks you know...

benno

@vuzer - I came across a problem today where it wouldnt install, simply adding a "RewriteBase /" fixed the problem... So try changing the .htaccess to:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L] </IfModule>

Not sure it will cure your problems! Obviously, make sure when you are editing the .htaccess file make sure your not using Notepad or Wordpad on Windows that is going to be putting in CRLF's.

If you can get access to your HTTP error log, that might give you clues as to whether the .htaccess is formatted correctly and its implementing rules correctly.

vuzer

Thanks, but still same thing.
No input file specified.
and
http://mzdomain.com/index.php/garden/gardensetup

Im editing files in Notepad++ in ANSI format.

Im on godaddy, how to check HTTP logs?
