Vanilla- new board troubles

I recently installed my copy of vanilla at mithrilforest.com/forum Most of the stuff dosent work, and some of the pages i try to go to are white. I have tried to reupload and reinstall, same problems. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Check your server's error log. Completely blank pages are usually caused by both corrupted files and a server that doesn't show error messages (a security 'feature').

ok checked error log, heres just a few lines i pulled so we might be able to figure out what the problem is PHP Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: context in /hermes/bosweb/web015/b153/ipw.gusxtwo/mithrilforest.com/forum/appg/init_vanilla.php on line 44 PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: open(/var/php_sessions/sess_06b29aa0010f6d82c6726c90c4fa0e5b, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /hermes/bosweb/web015/b153/ipw.gusxtwo/mithrilforest.com/forum/library/People/People.Class.Authenticator.php on line 113 PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /hermes/bosweb/web015/b153/ipw.gusxtwo/mithrilforest.com/forum/library/Vanilla/Vanilla.Class.Discussion.php on line 229 PHP Warning: Unknown(): open(/var/php_sessions/sess_06b29aa0010f6d82c6726c90c4fa0e5b, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files).

Urm, have you tryed replacing appg/init_vanilla.php

or is there a server fault, because your sessions are not working? Try to contact your host

Blaine0002

My vbulletin works fine, wouldnt there be a problem with that if sessions didnt work corrrectly?

Simonb

urm its not that then. I am not sure, have you tryed reinstallling

Blaine0002

Yep, twice.

1. How do I inetegrate "vanilla forums" to my website. 2. How to I manipulate "Sticky"

Simonb

Fine1952 this is totaly off topic, Please don't do this.

each time you install it do you get the same results or diffenent

Blaine0002

Exact same issues.

Try just reinstalling the three folders inside the library folder, and make sure if you are using FTP to upload in ASCII mode. Then try binary mode.

I've had a lot of FTP clients that just give up when you try uploading too many files at once, so try each folder individually.

Blaine0002

will do. Thanks for the help.

Blaine0002

!! well it fixed the blank pages, as far as i can see.. Whenever i submit a forum though i still get the error "There was a problem authenticating your post information."
