One of the requirements of VanillaForums is PHP 5... There have been some threads in the previous days that certain people actually got Vanilla to work without certain requirements (PDO), but I am not sure about this. @Tim and @Todd might know / remember more.

Having PHP 5.2 is critical. Vanilla 2 will not work without it.

ok ok ok i resolved the problem!!! for anyone who will be having the same problem;
am no php guru but i figured
PATH_LIBRARY_CORE.DS.'class.configuration.php'
is different from
PATH_LIBRARY_CORE . DS . 'class.configuration.php'
i just had to space out the . DS .
Wow after a day of headache i finally get to start enjoying vanilla!!!!

PATH_LIBRARY_CORE.DS.'class.configuration.php'

No, it isn't. PHP doesn't care about white space. Glad your issue is resolved, though. The page was probably cached and it happened to clear when you edited that. Switch it back and I bet it keeps working.

^^ What Lincoln said.

Possibly you had APC and the opcodes were cached wrong.
