[Solved] Having trouble with my install on Pagoda Git*

LucasKA

Hi everyone,

I am loving Vanilla, and really am sad that I didn't choose this earlier for my other forums.

Anyway, I am doing an install via Pagodabox (really cool, git based hosting/deployment solution), and I did everything per their instructions but am getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function DefinePermissions() on a non-object in /var/www/library/core/class.session.php on line 318

On that Line is

  if ($this->UserID == 0)
     $this->_Permissions = Gdn_Format::Unserialize($UserModel->DefinePermissions(0));

Any suggestions?

Interesting, it means that the usermodel is not an object and that usually meabs that a 'user' wasn't created. Which actions did you try to do before you got this error message?

LucasKA

Because Pagoda is a "read only" environment, I set it up locally (working perfectly), and then pushed it to Pagoda via Github. Then I hooked it up to the DB on Pagoda, and imported the Database with the single user from my locahost.

Before I did that it had that inital Setup screen where you normally would create a user and connect the db.

UnderDog

How about : either clearing cache/*.ini or pushing just the installation files to the server and then installing?

LucasKA

I could perhaps try just installing on the server, but like I said before, its sort of a read only environment.

UnderDog

Yes, but you need to google some more on pagoda read only, because there are tutorials about making pagoda less 'read-only'

LucasKA

When I try doing that, and just setting it up on that initial setup page, I get this

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::Table() in /var/www/applications/dashboard/settings/structure.php on line 22

What version of Vanilla are you using and what version of PHP do you have? If Pagoda Box runs its web server on a different port than 80, then this fix may make Vanilla return correct paths.

Open up "/library/core/class.request.php" and find the following code:

            case 'HOST':
               $HostParts = explode(':', $Value);
               $Value = array_shift($HostParts);
               break;

Change that to:

            case 'HOST':

I'm reading an a tutorial direct from pagoda on installing Vanilla and its not working.

@Shadowdare

I am using 2.0.18.8

And that bit of code is not there, it looks like this

        case 'SCHEME':
        case 'HOST':
        case 'METHOD':
        case 'FOLDER':

Shadowdare

Looks like that code for case 'HOST' is only in 2.1. You should give 2.1b1 a try, and if you get the same error, apply the case 'HOST' changes again to new file. http://vanillaforums.org/addon/vanilla-core-2.1b1

LucasKA

I can change PHP to different versions, but right now its 5.4.14

this might help

LucasKA

Looks like that change was already in the codebase

Is there anyway to bypass that Setup page at the beginning of the install?

use a config from another install if you really want to, but the setup generates a config, cache and configures your forum and is there for a reason xd

LucasKA

Well I configured a local instance, and then deployed it live. I dunno why that setup form is stil showing.

Shadowdare

After you configured it all, did database tables get created?

LucasKA

I got it, I dunno what I did in reality. But deleting the cache files on the server, and then directly uploading everything from local conf folder to the one on the server gave me a Bonk error.

Once I connected the server DB in config.php it is fine now.

What a pain in my ass (Pagoda, Vanilla is nice).
