Clean Install: CategoryModel not found in applications/vanilla/settings/structure.php line 60

I'm trying to install Vanilla Forums version 2.0.17.6 on MacBook Pro running Zend Server CE 5.0.4 (contains Apache 2.2.15, PHP 5.3.3 with PDO enabled) and I keep getting the above error.

I try to install Vanilla outside of any Zend controlled directory, AllowOverride is All and I can fill-in the first form with host, db name, etc. I see (in phpMyAdmin) that tables are created so the DB access is OK.

Other LAMP applications run perfect in this environment so I start to believe that it is a bug in Vanilla's code or some required config that my system does not have.

Please help, I really like Vanilla and I don't want to abandon it just because this problem

I am getting the same error when installing on my Web host:
Fatal error: Class 'CategoryModel' not found in /html/applications/vanilla/settings/structure.php on line 60
Sorry I don't have an answer, just confirming the issue.

Some of the same problems in this thread:
http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/14643/vanilla-core-2.0.17.x-error-categorymodel-not-found
Problem is also present in 2.0.17.8 according to that thread.

I on my local xampplite install do not have this problem, must be a setting somewhere

Yes, it's most likely same. Anyway, despite of liking of Vanilla, I've decided for IP.Board.

We'll have a conversion for that board soon ;-)

OK, there are 3 discussions going on about the same subject:
http://www.vanillaforums.org/discussion/14643/vanilla-core-2.0.17.x-error-categorymodel-not-found/p1
That's the right discussion topic. @Mark close the other 2?

Sure!
