    I get this error too. Unless you're accessing the site via IPv4, vanilla complains about the IP address being too long, as IPv6 addresses are substantially longer than IPv4 addresses.

    Before you install Vanilla you need to edit the following files:

    applications/conversations/settings/structure.php
    applications/dashboard/settings/structure.php
    applications/vanilla/settings/structure.php

    Change all lines that look like "->Column('*IPAddress', 'varchar(15)') so that the varchar is 39 characters long instead of 15.

    Conversations has 3, dashboard has 7 and structure has 4.

    You will need to check any application that you install in the future for the same.

    nice fix. I wonder if this is built into vanilla 2.1?

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

    @peregrine Doesn't look like this was fixed in 2.1b1.

    Well, if it in't. If you desired, You could write a push request with the above code change by Harry Stern, if it works for you in vanilla 2.1b1

    OK. The Henry Stern fix works in 2.1b1.

    Ok, so we need a gitHub bug # and probably a pull request with the solution. Bug # is important too.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Running test.com/index.php?p=/utility/update after changing these works to fix the issue if the files were edited after installation.
