Fatal error after uploading vanilla to the server

edited August 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
I have installed and configured VANILLA on my local pc and then transferred it via FTP to my server in the internet. I have also uploaded the 14 tables into the mysql datebase there. after calling VANILLA there I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: context in /raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/appg/init_vanilla.php on line 42 I personally think it has to do with maybe wrong path names etc. So I changed in the settings.php the paths like this: // Application Settings $Configuration['SETUP_TEST'] = '1'; $Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/themes/vanilla/'; $Configuration['DEFAULT_STYLE'] = '/forum/themes/vanilla/styles/default/'; $Configuration['WEB_ROOT'] = '/forum/'; $Configuration['BASE_URL'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/'; $Configuration['FORWARD_VALIDATED_USER_URL'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_EMAIL'] = 'doerren@meinebiografie.com'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_NAME'] = 'Achim Samwald'; $Configuration['APPLICATION_TITLE'] = 'Forum Dörren'; $Configuration['BANNER_TITLE'] = 'Die gesunde Art Sonne zu speichern'; $Configuration['COOKIE_DOMAIN'] = 'localhost'; $Configuration['COOKIE_PATH'] = '/forum/'; $Configuration['SETUP_COMPLETE'] = '1'; and so on... But it is still not enough and by the way what becomes "localhost" on the server then? Can this be a hint on wrong database names / paswords etc? Any fast and useful is much appreciated. Thank you very much HANS

    $Configuration['COOKIE_DOMAIN'] needs to be "http://doerren.meinebiografie.com"

    but there's something else wrong. i would re-upload all your vanilla files, and make sure you're using ASCII mode in your FTP client.

    change your paths by:

    $Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/';
    $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/conf/database.php';
    $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/library/';
    $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/extensions/';
    $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/languages/';
    $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/themes/vanilla/';

    Yeah - your path variables are meant to be local system-specific paths, not url paths.
  • samsam
    thanx a lot for all your ideas I have uploaded the files again my paths look now like this, but the trouble remains: <?php // Application Settings $Configuration['SETUP_TEST'] = '1'; $Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/forum/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/forum/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/forum/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/forum/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/forum/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/forum/themes/vanilla/'; $Configuration['DEFAULT_STYLE'] = '/forum/themes/vanilla/styles/default/'; $Configuration['WEB_ROOT'] = '/forum/'; $Configuration['BASE_URL'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/'; $Configuration['FORWARD_VALIDATED_USER_URL'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/forum/'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_EMAIL'] = 'doerren@meinebiografie.com'; $Configuration['SUPPORT_NAME'] = 'Achim Samwald'; $Configuration['APPLICATION_TITLE'] = 'Forum Dörren'; $Configuration['BANNER_TITLE'] = 'Die gesunde Art Sonne zu speichern'; $Configuration['COOKIE_DOMAIN'] = 'http://doerren.meinebiografie.com/'; $Configuration['COOKIE_PATH'] = '/forum/'; The strange thing is the forum runs perfect on my local pc! Still any ideas?

    you need absolute path for your *_PATH setting. Supposing the absolute path to your docroot is "/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/" and that vanilla is in the forum/ folder, just replace:
    $Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/forum/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/forum/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/forum/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/forum/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/forum/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/forum/themes/vanilla/';
    by$Configuration['APPLICATION_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/conf/database.php'; $Configuration['LIBRARY_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/library/'; $Configuration['EXTENSIONS_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/extensions/'; $Configuration['LANGUAGES_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/languages/'; $Configuration['THEME_PATH'] = '/raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/themes/vanilla/';

    Can't you transfert your database, make on update installation and upload extensions/ and conf/extension.php ?

    That's the message I received when I changed to absolute paths: Warning: ini_set, ini_alter, ini_restore, diskfreespace, disk_free_space, exec, passthru, system, popen() has been disabled for security reasons in /raid/domains/com/m/meinebiografie/htdocs/doerren/forum/appg/headers.php on line 26 A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred Technical information (for support personel): Error Message An error occurred while retrieving discussions.

    ini_set() is not allow by your provider. add "//" (or a "@) in appg/headers.php at the start of the line 26:
    @ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);

    Vanilla can't find the Tables. You have to edit conf/data.php, these setting:
    $Configuration['DATABASE_HOST'] = 'localhostUsually'; $Configuration['DATABASE_NAME'] = 'LoginNameUsually'; $Configuration['DATABASE_USER'] = 'YourLoginName'; $Configuration['DATABASE_PASSWORD'] = '**********';

    I have had the same problem. On my localhost (windows) everthing works fine. Then I've uploaded all the files (incl. MySQL data)...the same error (The error occurred on or near: Table 'username.LUM_Discussion' doesn't exist ) appeared. Now I've found out, that the required tables are named like that: lum_tablename. However: The script needs tables named that way: LUM_TableName. Is there any possibilty to change this to case non sensitve? I don't know how to name the tables in the right way. i.e.: lum_disscussionviews becomes LUM_discussionviews, but some other tables are named like that: lum_categoryblock => LUM_Category_Block hope somebody has a solution :) thanks in advance!
  • DinoboffDinoboff
    Windows file system in not case sensitive, the unix one is. That's why mysql dump your Table name in lower case.

    You have 3 solutions:
    1. reinstall with a fresh DB.
    2. Rename your table names in PhpMyAdmin
    3. Or copy$Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX'] = 'LUM_'; $DatabaseTables['Category'] = 'Category'; $DatabaseTables['CategoryBlock'] = 'CategoryBlock'; $DatabaseTables['CategoryRoleBlock'] = 'CategoryRoleBlock'; $DatabaseTables['Comment'] = 'Comment'; $DatabaseTables['Discussion'] = 'Discussion'; $DatabaseTables['DiscussionUserWhisperFrom'] = 'DiscussionUserWhisperFrom'; $DatabaseTables['DiscussionUserWhisperTo'] = 'DiscussionUserWhisperTo'; $DatabaseTables['IpHistory'] = 'IpHistory'; $DatabaseTables['Role'] = 'Role'; $DatabaseTables['Style'] = 'Style'; $DatabaseTables['User'] = 'LUM_User'; $DatabaseTables['UserBookmark'] = 'UserBookmark'; $DatabaseTables['UserDiscussionWatch'] = 'UserDiscussionWatch'; $DatabaseTables['UserRoleHistory'] = 'UserRoleHistory'; into conf/database.php and change the case there. (that is for care table, you might have to do the same for extension table)
