Where did you install it ? It should be in the applications folder not the plugins folder.

I installed in the applications folder. It shows on my dashboard but i cant enable it because it returns the above error.

Do you have pretty urls enabled ? Is this clean install of Yaga ?

i pretty dont know how to check if pretty url is enable but from what i've checked it seems to be enabled because my urls dont have the "index?p=" .

As for the clean install, this is the first time am attempting to install yaga.

Please I seriously need help on this. I've tried all I could.

The above error message is not helpful. It is only a notice (not an error) which doesn't even is connected to YAGA but to the messages that you can write from the dashboard (not conversation messages).

If you are really desperate, please make a backup of your database and do the following:
1. add $Configuration['EnabledApplications']['Yaga'] = 'yaga'; to your /conf/config.php
2. run /utility/structure after manually enabling YAGA

This will most probably not solve your problem, but I would expect it to give more helpful error messages.

While you are testing this it might happen at any time that your forum isn't accessible any more, so don't do this on a live system. After testing, please remove the above line from the config.php

If possible you can also try to disable it from the dashboard. Even then there might be errors but they could give helpful information

I've actually fixed this by doing a clean install of vanilla forums. The problem I think stemmed from the mode of installation. I installed the forum software using softaculous. I guess thats where the problem came from.

Thanks for your time and help

I keep saying to people not to use one click installers...

Seriously, like they don't install properly most times.

Glad you sorted it out and went away from that installer. They really have no benefit.
