Error in trying to start the Vanilla Forum

edwardb226

I have my own domain name and I am creating a web site on a free server. I uploaded the Vanilla Forum and when trying to start it, having navigated in my browser, I got the following error: Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/a3395946/public_html/vanilla-2.0.10/vanillaforums-Garden-b8cd4b4/library/core/functions.error.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/a3395946/public_html/vanilla-2.0.10/vanillaforums-Garden-b8cd4b4/bootstrap.php on line 21. Can anyone help? Thanks

Yes, you need the PDO driver for MySQL installed on the server. If the hosting website does not provide that, you should be looking for another one or consider hosting on vanillaforums.com

edward,

Check
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
On your server, and see if you have mysql or respective database pdo support. If not install that module either through RPM or re-compile your php source with --with-pdo=

It should work.
