Vanilla 0.9.3 Beta Installation Instructions

MarkMark Vanilla Staff
edited April 2006 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
The application is available by SVN from the following url:

http://lussumo.com/svn/vanilla/trunk

Once you've gotten the svn onto your system, be sure to read upgrade-notes.txt in the root of the application for further instructions on making the application work.

The installer is not finished yet, and it will not work

  • There have been a number of cases recently where users did not have the php-mysql link libraries installed on their server which results in them getting entirely blank screens when trying to setup vanilla (after stage 3 of the installer, if in use)
    If you are getting a blank screen please ensure your server is correctly setup and that php and mysql are functioning happily together.

    Will phpinfo tell you if you're missing those libraries?
  • Although i'm not 100% I'm gonna assume that if the two apps wernt linked, you wouldnt get the 'mysql' section in a phpinfo file or if you did it'd be rather empty.
  • I'll test it tomorrow when I rebuild the LAN server.
  • might be a good idea to check in the new installer.php
    if (!function_exists( 'mysql_connect' )) { print "no mysql"; }
  • good plan.
  • is there a way to get this beta without downloading all this SVN stuff. FTP server or anything?

  • I grabbed SirNot's 'latest revision' pkg above, ran the required sql changes, but get these errors now: Warning: main(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/vanilla/appg/init_vanilla.php on line 15 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vanilla/appg/init_vanilla.php:15) in /var/www/vanilla/appg/headers.php on line 14 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/vanilla/appg/init_vanilla.php:15) in /var/www/vanilla/appg/headers.php on line 15

    Edit:nevermind.
  • The last 2 errors are a cause of the first. And the first is obviously some sort of include problem (go me!) Are you sure all your paths are correct in your appg/settings and conf/settings files? Seems strange it's including '' (i.e. nothing) which doesnt surprise me it's failing.
  • duh! the setting file has changed. /me smacks forhead.

    Whoa. Looking at the new settings.php file it doesn't appear to be so easy to upgrade from 0.92 as the upgrade.txt file indicates. Ok, with more than a rushed minute it's looking a lot easier. LOL

    I've made an upgrade, but when I log in, and only if I'm logged in, I lose all css formating. Suggestions for what might cause this & where to look?
  • `Sink` enum('1','0') not null default '0';
    should be added to the setup/foo.sql file to be up to date with the code.
  • You style info will have been lost when you did the upgrade, reset all your style choices in the database to the default (1, i believe)

    in languages/english/definitions.php , please change from <p id="AboutVanilla"> to <p class="AboutVanilla"> in appg/init_vanilla.php at line 81, change to sth like this: <a href="'.GetUrl($Configuration, 'post.php', 'category/', 'CategoryID', $CategoryID).'" class="PanelButton StartDiscussionButton">'.$Context->GetDefinition('StartANewDiscussion').'</a>
  • In termsofservice.php:

    echo($Context->GetDefinition("TermsOfService")); and echo($Context->GetDefinition("TermsOfServiceBody"));

    return "TermsOfService" & "TermsOfServiceBody"... not the definitions defined in lang/English/definitions.php.

    Hmmm I can't seem to get 0.9.3 to recognize that I have opened the TOS. Anyone?

    commenting out line 51 of extensions/ExtendedApplicationForm/default.php will bypass the requirement. I'd like to get get it working though.
  • What browser/os combo? Could be a js issue? (if it even uses js to check.. i think it does?)
