Fresh stand alone installation

osalmon

Hi,

I've just installed the community on my server and it all went smoothly.

I do have lots of errors though and I can't find a good installation/debugging article or discussion feed.

1- I can't tag people. It says loading and stays like that forever

2- I can't upload an image. I'm receiving an error message.

3- I can't load the controller for the notification preferences.

4- I can't sign out (I'm using Google Sign In plugin)

5- I have a 403 error when signing in (Google) on mobile (only)

6- I keep getting the pop-up "You are previewing the Keystone theme" in the Dashboard. Cancel or Approve does not make it disappear,

Version: 2021 009

Thank you

osalmon

Do you have pretty urls enabled?

What is your hosting environment, like PHP version?

Use the Debug function, https://open.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/259053/#Comment_259053 , add detailed error message here

I do not think I can help with this issue.

The ones that can would need some info, hence me asking you to post the above.

Thank you @Kaspar

The PHP version is PHP 7.4.25

If I change the .htaccess and config.php to enable the pretty URL, then I can't access the forum anymore.

I've enabled the debug mode. On the homepage, I have 2 Infos:

• Could not find file 'oauth2.css' in folder 'oauth2'.Info
• Could not find file 'custom_default.css' in folder ''.

If I want to tag someone, nothing happens:

If I try to upload an image, I have a long error message. Nothing in Debug:

As for the notifications, nothing's capture in debug mode, and I got the spinner indefinitely:

I've also got an issue with the profile pop up. If I click on my profile (top right), there is a pop up coming up with some options. And I can't close it. I have to reload the page.

Note: moving the forum from a subdomain to a folder of my domain improved the forum behaviours.

I can now navigate and I'm not always redirected to the forum home page.

However, I still can't tag people and upload images.

I have more logs too. A 'notice' that seems to come a lot:

This is so weird. Logged as an admin, the forum seems to work fine (in terms of navigation)

If I log as a user with Google Sign In (right screen), then links won't work.

Kaspar

Take Google Sign In out of the equation.

Create a user member and login with it regularly.

Still issues - look at the PHP extensions

osalmon

Ok. I don't think it's an issue with Google. It's how the path wors (or doesn't).

If I use the default theme, all the links have index.php followed by a parameter.

If I use a different theme, it uses a relative path (or is it what you call pretty URL)? such as /categories, and in that case, nothing works.

Now, if I try to tage someone, it makes an API call: /community/api/v2/users/by-names/?name=mark*&order=mention&limit=50

But, I believe because the pretty URL isn't working, it doesn't return anything.

If I follow the instructions to get pretty URL working (.htaccess and config changes), I have a 500 error (too many redirects).

I could leave without tagging people I suppose. But I still can't upload any images.

Kaspar

Rewrite url / pretty url is required

You did uncomment the line, removing # and added foldername, if in folder?

Try this

Ok, looks like using the .htaccess from Vanilla forum 2.2 did the trick. I will keep it as is. Thanks

Superb.

Pretty urls active and all previous mentioned issues not present?
