can't access dashboard after fresh install

kilte

I've just installed Vanilla 2.3.1 and I see only one page the home page. Any link go to the same page : sign in, register, categorie, dashboard ...
See my forum here : http://www.kilte.eu/vanilla/
Thanks for help

Sure, it's a possibiliy. If you backup your .htaccess file, you can try the old version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vanilla/vanilla/release/2.2/.htaccess

what's written in your htaccess?

kilte

here you have the htaccess

I am not much of an expert, rather the opposite. But right there it's stated:

# 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 /

Thanks a lot, but i'm not in a subfolder. My instal folder is domain/vanilla.

Equally no expert, but if you have a folder containing the Vanilla files, I think that is what needs referencing in htaccess, since they are not in root.

Simply try changing
# RewriteBase / to
RewriteBase /vanilla (delete the leading "#")

Couldn't hurt trying it

with RewriteBase / vanillaI have this error Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

There should be no blank between "/" and "vanilla"

OK thanks, no more error but the same home page as without /vanilla and no possibility to get the dashboard

do you think it's like as this discussion ? I used cPanel to install Vanilla. What can I do to correct it ?
