Help! Can't Disable Plugins or Switch themes all of a sudden!

heat23

I installed Vanilla 2.2 a couple days ago and today all of a sudden I am unable to Disable any plugin or Apply themes. This worked a day or two ago but now I have no idea why this is happening. When I click on the 'Disable' or 'Apply' buttons, the page reloads but the action does not take place. I opened up the Developer Tools bar in Chrome and I don't see any errors there. Any ideas on why this is happening or how I can debug this?

You can disable plugins by changing True to False in the config.php for enabled plugins in question. You can set the default theme there too while you trouble shoot .

Looks like it was a permissions problem, once I set it to 777 it is fixed!

THanks!

@heat23: 777 is not necessarily a good idea for the config.php.

777 = Please hack me

You can use this bash commands to set the file permissions in your vanilla folder to a slightly less insecure 775 for the config

find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} +
find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} +
chmod -R 775 cache/
chmod -R 775 uploads
chmod 775 conf/config.php
