Hi everyone, I'm a rookie admin running a none-vanilla forum and want to change to Vanilla.

But I can't even start :(

This is what I've done:

  1. Download vanilla(Version 2.0.18.4) and uploaded to my VPS
  2. unziped online (using putty)
  3. access my website then I got "Fatal error: Class 'Gdn' not found in /home/wwwroot/vanilla/bootstrap.php on line 47"

Anyone can help x_x ?

I'm using a VPS running centos 6.2, nginx 1.2.4 + PHP 5.2 I already have a wordpress running perfectly.

    (can't I edit my post?)

    I've tried "chown -R www vanilla" but it didn't help :(

    (Ok I found out how to edit now.)

    And I also gave cache,conf and uploads folders 777 permissions, also didn't work.

    You should try deleting any .ini files in your cache folder - it might do the trick.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I've checked cache folder already - there isn't any .ini files but a empty file named "empty" in it.
    (Of course, It's a totally new forum.)

    Can't wait to use Vanilla - it's just great!

    The most obvious question is to look for where that class 'Gdn' would be and actually look in that directory if 'Gdn' is actually there.

    Then I would do the following (work around):

    Delete all Vanilla files

    Unzip Locally

    Upload files again (different directory? Although 'vanilla' is default)

    chown -R sounds good to me, so keep that if you need it.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    @UnderDog Thanks for your reply.

    I tried to delete all the vanilla files online, Unziped locally then uploaded through SFTP.
    After that I did run chown & chmod, but still get the same error.
    Also tried to rename 'vanilla' folder to another name, still didn't work for me.

    I‘ve got scandir disabled in my php.ini, after enable it I can see the Installer now!

    Thanks for help. Maybe add this problem to install guide?
