Settings.php causes an Internal Server Error 500

abenweek

Hi all I recently installed Vanilla forum on my site, just wanted to play around with it as it looked cool. Set it all up, all seemed to be functioning. However, whenever I go to settings.php, I get an Internal Server Error 500. I can't figure out why this is, my host even had a look and didn't know what was wrong. I'm sure that my host has all the requirements to run Vanilla, has anyone else had this happen to them? Vanilla is installed in a subfolder at http://abenweek.net/vanilla My root points to my Wordpress installation, which is also in it's own folder. Any help would be appreciated :)

do you have a phpinfo to look at?

the only way to figure it out is to expose the error.
I'm willing to bet that you don't meet the current application requirements in one way or another, because all possible errors should be trapped by the application.

This doesn't mean that you can't run Vanilla. It just means that we've got to figure out what your problem is so that we can fix it for the next revision.

And to that end, a phpinfo dump would be very helpful.

Create a phpinfo.php file and place the following code inside it:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

Then upload to your server and view from your web browser.

I've got the same problem. Here's the path to my phpinfo() file: http://www.clutterrescuecourse.com/forum/phpinfo.php. Everything else seems to work just fine. For the time being, I just edited a settings file that I was unable to get to. Can you post a solution to this? Thanks so much.
