Troubleshooting the Vanilla 2 Installation

If you run into any issues during the installation, you may see the "Bonk" error screen. In order to get past this screen, you can add the following line to your conf/config.php file:
$Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE;

This will show you a more detailed screen of information about the actual problem you've encountered. Please include this information when reporting issues (copy & paste exact errors, please).

Upgrading Vanilla 2.0 Forums

  1. Back up your database.
  2. Back up all of your existing files.
  3. Unarchive the new files and copy them over your existing files. Make sure that your hidden files (ie .htaccess) are copied to your server.
  4. Make sure the conf/config.php from your old version has been copied over to the new version.
  5. Delete all *.ini files in your cache/ folder
  6. Navigate to the page in your forum that updates your database: www.yourforum.com/utility/update (or www.yourforum.com/index.php?p=/utility/update)

    Wrong.

    Right.

    What?

  • To get this, should we use the 2.0.18 branch or still master?
    I switched to master a while back but it seems that not everything is pushed in the 2.0.18, so that's why I ask. (I haven't check the commits for the past couple of days, so maybe the answer is already there :) ).

    2.0.18. We now branch for releases at the first beta.
  • I sure hope this one was packaged correctly. ;)
    What?
    Referring back to when RC2 was released but it was the wrong Github package or something like that.
