We need more info what specific version? v2.1 v2.2 v2.3 etc...

post the contents of the config.php but remove sensitive info like passwords and keys

amalfra

Its 2.1.7 and contents of config.php are:

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();

// Conversations
$Configuration['Conversations']['Version'] = '2.1.7';

// Database
$Configuration['Database']['Name'] = '**********';
$Configuration['Database']['Host'] =  '**********';
$Configuration['Database']['User'] = '**********';
$Configuration['Database']['Password'] =  '**********';

// EnabledApplications
$Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Conversations'] = 'conversations';
$Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Vanilla'] = 'vanilla';

// EnabledPlugins
$Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['GettingStarted'] = 'GettingStarted';
$Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['HtmLawed'] = 'HtmLawed';

// Garden
$Configuration['Garden']['Title'] = 'Vanilla 2';
$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Salt'] =  '**********';
$Configuration['Garden']['Cookie']['Domain'] = '';
$Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['ConfirmEmail'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Email']['SupportName'] = 'Vanilla 2';
$Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'Html';
$Configuration['Garden']['Html']['SafeStyles'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Version'] = '2.1.7';
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Cdns']['Disable'] = FALSE;
$Configuration['Garden']['CanProcessImages'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['SystemUserID'] = '2';
$Configuration['Garden']['Installed'] = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['InstallationID'] =  '**********';
$Configuration['Garden']['InstallationSecret'] =  '**********';

// Plugins
$Configuration['Plugins']['GettingStarted']['Dashboard'] = '1';

// Routes
$Configuration['Routes']['DefaultController'] = 'discussions';

// Vanilla
$Configuration['Vanilla']['Version'] = '2.1.7';

Ok so it is installed properly as far as the config being generated and it does say it is installed.
However seems rather short.

Please give me a link . Also post the htaccess file.

The htaccess is:

# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   # Certain hosts may require the following line.
   # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. 
   # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
   RewriteBase /dev
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

The please try again message is generally because the transient key was outdated. A second attempt should fix this issue.

Do you have cookies disabled?

No, i have cookies enabled and some times the page submits and reloads but won't be loggedin.

Hmm... do you have an internet facing site? I can take a look at it if you do.

You should enable debugging by adding $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; to your /conf/config.php file. Then visit /utility/update in your browser and report back the result.
