Add those lines to
/conf/config.php
and report back what the error is:I'm so sorry. I did this, but how do I find the error?

"isn't displaying" does not help me to help you. Do you see a blank page? And what do you see after you have added both lines above to your config?
Again, sorry.
It is the most current version of Vanilla 2.1.5
I see a blank page.
We're going to install the mbstring extension as you mentioned from the link you provided. to see if that helps. It isn't currently installed.
Installing mbstring did the trick.
Thank you so much!
Again my apologies for not making myself more clearer.
Everything fine - have fun with Vanilla
