I can't install Vanilla Forum
Hi all,
I want to give Vanilla a try but all I keep getting in the installer is:
Details as follow: Vanilla 2, Ubuntu 10.04, Apache 2.2.14, MySQL 5.0.5, PHP 5.3.1, Firefox 3.6.8.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Any other idea? Thanks.
Thanks for your time and good luck.
Solved now : I had to specify the mysql server name, like "mysql4-99".
Best regards.
Are you sure you've entered the correct database host name? Maybe you mistyped it? The database reported: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host '~~Invalid~~' (1)
You must specify the name of the database in which you want to set up Vanilla.
To fix this in my php.ini file, I found the line that said:
pdo_mysql.default_socket =
Which was supposed to see the default location, but didn't seem to be working. I changed it to where I put my mysql.sock (varies depending on server, most are in tmp):
pdo_mysql.default_socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock
As soon as I did that, worked like a charm.
I have the same error, and i try localhost, 127.0.0.1 and with the hostname, but the installation processus don't work...
Any idea?
Edit: Htaccess file was missing but I checked do not use, in addition, the installation finished

I have been a Vanilla 1 user for many years, so I want to persevere with it, but I don't know what I can do. If so many have the same problem, doesn't this mean it is a fault in Vanilla that can be corrected? Or am I being naive?
Thanks.
Should I use my old Vanilla version 1, which I know works for me?
