Could you please explain this error or problem as I'm installing Vanilla on Ubuntu (I'm on DigitalOcean). If you need a error log or any other information, let me know. I just need to fix this as fast as possible (not trying to rush).

this might help.. even if the version is old the process is the same.

That is not a typical error. Something is going work with php there.

php is not installed see

You want to do

sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-curl php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-mysql
sudo phpenmod pdo_mysql
sudo service apache2 restart

He claims his host downgraded his php from php7 to php5.6 , I suspect they did not restart apache after that. Because php is not running , which is why the phpinfo.php shows only the text of the file.

I have php installed sadly... @vrijvlinder @x00

I will run the cmds though.

I'm rebooting the system after this

Make sure that is the correct directory where you installed vanilla. Make sure the htaccess file is correct.

Remove the content of the htaccess you have and put this instead.

# Modified
# 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 /forums
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Same Problem....

@vrijvlinder You have skype..?

vrijvlinder

Yes you need to make sure the rewrite module is loaded.

In order to use mod_rewrite you can type the following command in the terminal:

a2enmod rewrite

Restart apache2 after doing that by adding this command

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

or this command

service apache2 restart

Or see this http://askubuntu.com/questions/48362/how-to-enable-mod-rewrite-in-apache

and this

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

@vrijvlinder

Login error

vrijvlinder

Please delete the .ini files from the cache carefully. You should be able to see the exact error in the server error logs.

I must say that I have never found anyone with such a difficulty installing this software. You should not have these issues if you followed the instructions.

I think you will need to give me ftp access and send the info in pm ... otherwise this will take longer to fix.

Insted of Apache use nginx + php-fpm.

TheAlliedNet

@Ivan_Gurin Why is that better?

Ivan_Gurin

It uses more less memory on high-loaded servers. And u can rent chiper server/VDS for your site.
