    I don't know enough about IIS 7 to help you, but chances are it is to do with permissions an security. It needs to be able to writeable by the script.

    grep is your friend.

    config.php needs to be writeable. Check your file permissions 775

    This is not working on IIS 7.
    config.php is writeable to website domain and Network service but I still can't enable/disable any plugins, including Debugger.

    Sorry, I forgot to add this info:
    Host: ReliableSite.net
    Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
    Browser: Chrome, Firefox (latest stable versions)
    MySQL version: 5.1.49
    PHP version 5.2.14
    Previous Vanilla ver: 2.0.17

    Thanks x00.

    Weird thing is that it worked perfectly in previous version with same file permissions.

    I also tried allowing read/write permission to entire conf folder. No Change.

    Wordpress website is working flawlessly on same host.

    Have you tried adding them to config file manually?

    I think vanilla will try set the permissions programmatically. I think this should be depreciated, becuase it is unreliable.

    oddly I'm having the same issue with my apache2 sandbox, just having upgraded it.

    it is owner of the folders is www-data, everything is writeable or else it would throw up some errors (which I have checked work).

    It is not a permissions problem becuase Quick SaveToConfig() and other plug-ins are working.

    I will check for a conflict.

    grep is your friend.

    @UnderDog did you sink this? If so can you unsink it thanks.

    My mistake it is working for me. I was doing a special auto configration for database setting, and it didn't pass the sanity test.

    grep is your friend.
