Can't enable plug ins

Martialshot

Hello,

Iam using NGINX with Vanilla 2.0. When I browse to the dashboard and select plug-ins I get the following in the access logs and no error;

SRC IP Retracted - - [25/Nov/2014:16:20:59 +0000] "GET /settings/plugins/all/AddMenuitem/EGYDE5LQ31W8 HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "http://IP-retracted/settings/plugins/all" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0"

Welcome to the community!

If you are unable to enable plugins, you probably either have caching enabled on your /conf/config.php file or the plugin requirements are not met. Try middle clicking on the enable link to open the page in a new tab and report back what happens.

Thanks for the welcome!

I've tried middle clicking and it opens a new page but still does not enable the plug-in.

I've also queried this file vanilla/conf/config.php

for a "cache" string and did not find a response.

peregrine

check your permissions on your conf folder and the config.php

config.php must be writeable.

run phpinfo and see if any caching is enabled.

Permission on the files are as such
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Nov 25 17:52 conf/

Here is a list of cache values from the phpinfo.php

Additional .ini files parsed /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/05-opcache.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/10-mysqlnd.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/10-pdo.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-json.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-mysql.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini, /etc/php5/fpm/conf.d/20-pdo_mysql.ini ****

realpath_cache_size 16K 16K
realpath_cache_ttl 120

user_ini.cache_ttl 300

session.cache_expire 180 180

Etc, can you specify what value we are looking for?

its not going to solve your problem per se.

but why are you using vanilla 2.0.x?

I would put my effort into installing vanilla 2.1.6

Martialshot

I've upgraded to 2.1.6 and see the same issue, Iam following the steps you indicated to address the caching issue.

It appears as though I've enabled one of the plug-ins. I will report back shortly once I attempt to get a bit more set up. Thanks!
