how to disable FileUpload and shared server issue
jrf
New
I installed plugin FileUpload - and got the BONK screen. I think the error is that I can't use APC (php cache on the server) since I'm on a shared server.
Question #1: in PLUGINS I'm trying to Disable it - and it's not disabling! How to disable this? Should I just remove the files from the server (I'm concerned it might have written something to other files and this is a clumsy way to back out of it).
and #2 - without having APC, what is the way to have file upload so users can insert images in posts?
thank you

also when I click MEDIA in the dashboard - another BONK error - how do I just get rid of this - I suspect it is from the plugin
can anyone tell me what puts MEDIA in the dashboard and why that would give an error - any debug on this?
Update - I still need help on how to allow users to upload photos in posts without having the Alternative PHP cache on the server - but in case anyone else wonders about the above questions, I removed references to PLupload and FileUpload on the config.php file, and manually deleted both from the server - so the MEDIA button is gone from dashboard, and the PLugin I couldn't delete (fileupload) is gone from the plugin list.
I'm a newbie to Vanilla but not to WPress or Joomla - there must be some simple way for users to upload photos...?
you don't need alternative cache, you need to search the forums on what to do when there is a bonk error. It has been asked a lot.
Most likely you need to set your folder permissions.
grep is your friend.
are you saying that FileUpload does not required Alternative Cache? In its README it says this: FileUpload README
INSTALL PECL APC (Alternative PHP Cache)
yes
grep is your friend.
