Updating from 2.3.1 to 2.6.1
Hi everyone.
I tried to update from 2.3 using this guide:
From Vanilla 2.3 or earlier:
- Delete
/applications/vanilla/controllers/class.settingscontroller.php.
If your forum still uses URLs including ?p=, support for this URL structure has ended. Follow these steps to switch to the simpler format:
- Confirm your server is setup to handle rewrites. On Apache, using the
.htaccessfile provided will accomplish this. Additional setup is required on nginx and other platforms. - Test whether it is working by visiting
/discussions- if you see a discussions list (rather than a 404), it is likely setup correctly. - Open
/conf/config.phpand find the line with$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = false;and delete the entire line.
Your site should immediately switch to "pretty" URL paths instead of using the 'p' parameter. If there is a problem, re-add the line to your config and do further troubleshooting.
Unfortunately my forum went blank.
Any idea what I am doing wrong ? Should I delete all my themes and plugins ?
Thanks for your help.
P.S.: By the way, if it can help this is my server config => php7 (FPM application server by Apache), linux server, ngnix also running.

UPDATE:
So I delete all my plugins, activated the baseline theme, and the update was successful!
OK
So now you can re-enable your theme, and then your plugins one at a time, until you find the one that caused the issue.
