    this begs the question: does the file actually exist? and are all it's permissions right? Assuming thats a stock 404 error then it's nothing to do with vanilla. yet.
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    ok what should the perms be?
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    try 644 all round.
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    on all the files?
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    Yeah.
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    that did not work.

    if it's not found on the server, that means it's not on the server. like minisweeper said, this has nothing to do with vanilla. the file isn't there.
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    ok the files are on the server and have rwx permissions, but its saying its not found, i'm not sure what to do at this point.

    Are you sure you're looking in the right place?
    Can you create a phpinfo.php file in the same directory as the installer and view that in your browser?
    Does it show as a 404 or does it display properly?
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    there might be something i'm not telling you which is i forgot i changed the default directory to /var/www/somedir casue the website wasn't stored in the main dir of the webserver. so it is changed to /var/www/somedir if there is a way to do a redirect and switch it back in apache2 i will do it. but what i do in the meantime. the usual default dir is /var/www -> /var/www/apache2-default is the redirect. I'm on Debian Stable
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    ok now i'm getting this, i moved the vanilla dir to /var/www/homepage/vanilla and i get this: Warning: main(library/Utility.Functions.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/waterdrunks/vanilla/installer.php on line 7

    PHP doesn't have the permissions required to install vanilla on your server. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%22failed+to+open+stream%3A+Permission+denied%22+php&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

    I guess I don't understand...do the need to be owned by root?
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    An error occurred while we were attempting to create the database tables. Mysql reported the following error: Access denied for user: 'waterdrunks@localhost' to database 'waterdrunks' what do i need to do fix thsi problem. BTW, the problem b4 is that vanilla got hosed up after trying to configure it so many times.

    You need to make sure that database user has sufficient usage permissions for that database. I usually just grant all of them.
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    Ok, so what command do you use in MySQL? GRANT ALL ON database.* to user ; ???
  • MinisweeperMinisweeper New
    Dont you have some sort of mysql manager? Makes life much easier. Otherwise that looks something about right.
  • BergamotBergamot
    Yeah holy crap, installing PHPMyAdmin is one of the first things I do...
  • andrewm659andrewm659
    I guess i could use phpmyadmin, but how do i add the root account to alolow from everwhere?
