I only installed it. Does that mean that there is something wrong with the Vanilla installation files?
In an other reply you refer to an attached file. But I can not get an attached file there.
==================
My humble opinion.
I think is is very strange that I have to be a PHP programmer to get a basic installation of Vanilla working.
I installed it with Installatron delivered with my hosting provider. I do install other CMS programs. And till this moment it was normal that the basic functions works well with installed CMSses . I do sometimes more things, And I know that plugins and extensions can make trouble. But these are not the basic functions of a CMS.
I have more knowledge Than most people without technical skills that only want a website. And I think that basic installation should work for people with no knowledge. I think that you must not try to make people that just want a website to have programmer skills.
My skills are of that to make a basic php program that echo´s some text. And that is much more knowledge than a lot of people have that just want a website.
And I do understand a little when you say Apache settings. I understand that you are talking about the computer that is hosting my website. Do "normal" people that use installatron to have a website know what Apche is? For sure all of my friends really do not know.
And At least I think I cannot change settings. Or I do not have the knowledge how. (at this moment).

You redirected me to http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
So I changed the wordpress to work with Permalinks. And the worpress posts works fine.
I made an other post with / and % in it. And there is not anly problem. But what I see is that WordPress changes the / and % in - in the URL. So I think that this is the solution Worpress uses.
You are talking about :
Sure then can change the slug function Gdn_Format::Url(). As far as I understand that other people have to build that in the forum.
Or I think that means that I have to do programming. I do not think that Ik could do that without a PHP education. And for that I do not have the time, And maybe not the capacity.
You write:
you are not using any url scheme just post numbers,
I do not know what a url scheme is. I just installed Vanlla an Wordpress. And did nothing else.
You write that I have to substitute the slash myself. Why does not do the program that? WordPress is doing that. It substitute it to -.(is this called a dash?)
@whu606
I did find a file called config.php
I did open this file and did fine a line with
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
I did not totally understand what you meant in your reply, but I changed TRUE in FALSE.
I did this in http://testen.allerbest.nl
And now I do not have the problem any more with discussions with / and %.
@elja said:

If software is installed via some type of automated script, it is up to that script to ensure the server configurations are compatible with the software.
When my hosting provider changes a setting for the total domain. (I even think that they would not want that, but I could try).
I think that this change could give the possibility that something else stops working?
I would like more a solution that only has something to do with the subdomain. And not the whole domain.
And that could be in the option changing config.php setting
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
I think that this change could give the possibility that something else stops working?
why? this is blocking any chance of reaching a framework so can't break a framework, like i said this is before it goes to any framework or even a static file.
The problem is the characters %2F in the url are being blocked early on by Apache.
This is not a complex problem. It really is that simple.
The NoDecode option will ensure that the security issue this is attempting to address will not be an issue.
@x00
Oh, I´am sorry, I think I did not explain well. I meant not with Vanilla. But I was talking about the total domain.
But as far as I understand how things work is:
-The Apache settings are done by my provider.
-The only setting I have is a safe_mode on or off option
-The Apache setting are for the whole domain.
I have other PHP programs in this domain. So I wonder if changing settings could cause problems in other programs.
So that was the reason I would like most a solusion that is only for the subdomain.

I already explained.
grep is your friend.
This is a server configuration error. Dropping the slug in your 'bad link' shows the vanilla routing with pretty url is working: http://40pkus-reisgenoot.allerbest.nl/discussion/2/
Something in your PHP or Apache configuration is causing this issue.

It is not an error it is an Apache security setting.
grep is your friend.
If I've understood x00's link, you will need to contact your web host to ask them about changing this Apache setting:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#allowencodedslashes
Yep and to use the
NoDecodesetting for better security.grep is your friend.

Sorry, but I do not understand what I is written or what I can do with that. I´am not a PHP programmer.

But this solution is not as nice as at the forum
http://barspetsa.org/whu606wayback/discussion/7183/this-discussion-has-a-two-a-single-and-a-followed-by-a
But at least I can live with that, When all is is working well.
The only question I have is if changing this setting can give trouble elsewhere.
If software is installed via some type of automated script, it is up to that script to ensure the server configurations are compatible with the software.
Please file a ticket with your host/Installatron.

I was looking at my domain settings.
As far as I can see I can only change one thing. At this moment there is a PHP "safe_mode" on.
Has that something to do with this?
When my hosting provider changes a setting for the total domain. (I even think that they would not want that, but I could try).
I think that this change could give the possibility that something else stops working?
I would like more a solution that only has something to do with the subdomain. And not the whole domain.
And that could be in the option changing config.php setting
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
in wordpress slugs are saved in the database, in vanilla they are generated.
wordpress slug replaces any non apha-numeric character with dash, vanilla urlencodes characters.

Or are you talking about the whole domain too?
read my post again.

@elja
Out of interest what is the exact version of 2.1 that you are using?
becuase in the stable version the
/is stripped out in the urlgrep is your friend.
@x00 It is version 2.1 It only says 2.1
And surprisingly I had two visitors registering on my forum an 1 posting today, and yesterday one.
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/26943/tutorial-how-to-determine-the-version-number-of-vanilla-that-you-are-using-for-your-own-forum
grep is your friend.
@x00, As I said, is says 2.1
@elja
Can you install Vanilla from the 2.1 stable link here, without using your host's app?
That way we can be sure you have the latest stable version.
