Can't access my forum from mobile devices

edited June 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Hi. I've recently installed my first vanilla forum and everything is up and running. But I can't access it neither from iPhone nor from a Google Nexus S. I always get the error page displaying Bonk. Something funky happened. Please bear with us while we iron out the kinks.

Is there some sort of user agent sniffing done when I try to access the forum? I get the same error when I switch the user agent of my Firefox to iPhone.

    Depending on the user-agent, it does show the mobile interface.

    Last time, something was reported here, it was (IIRC) because the cache directory wasn't fully writable and that the specific cache for the mobile interface couldn't be created. Check that out.

    If it's not enough, check this: http://vanillaforums.org/docs/errors

  • Oh indeed. The cache/Smarty/compile dir was not writable. Not it is and everything works fine. Thanks a lot!
