Comments

  • I have the same question can anyone please help. The instructions given is not complete and I have searched everywhere. My issue is when uploaded to the server and when trying to run the installer I only get a No input file specified page and everything i tried doing doesn't work. I tried running the forum on a shared hostd server and also on a VPS server and nothing just the same. Please help?

    Thanks in advance....

    this is what i have done so far...fwiw, i have 1and1 hosting
    0.5 created a folder called forum
    1. uploaded everything into the forum folder
    2. added AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to the .htaccess file and moved the .htaccess file to my root directory
    3. changed permissions to 777 on config, uploads and cache
    4. navigated to www.mywebsitehere.com/forum
    5. received either an Error 404 or 500 depending on which way the wind is blowing.
    6. read the internet looking for a clue.
    7. gave up and decided to try posting here
  • I just installed Vanilla 2 RC1.
    I had an issue, first I only got error 500, this was random permission issues. The apache logs pointed out what files had too broad permissions.

    Secondly, no matter what page I was on, I could only see the discussions page, not even the log in pop up would populate. I found it was something with the regular expression in class.request.php
    I hacked it to this in function _ParseRequest:
    $Expression = '/^'.str_replace('/', '\/', $this->_EnvironmentElement('Folder')).'(?:'.$this->_EnvironmentElement('Script').')?\/?(.*?)\/?(?:[#?].*)?$/i';
    $temp = trim($this->_EnvironmentElement('URI'),'/');
    if(strpos($temp,"dashboard")){
    $mymatch=substr($temp,17);
    }else $mymatch=substr($temp,7);
    // if (preg_match($Expression, $temp, $Match)){
    if ($mymatch){
    // $this->Path($Match[1]);
    $this->Path($mymatch);
    }else
    $this->Path('');

    I'm not a coder and when I dabble it isn't pretty (see above!), so I'm just submitting the information for someone to have a look at the regex.

    Cheers!
  • oh yeah, don't try the above at home! Think my install is relatively screwed anyway.
  • bah! i still can't get to the setup. if you have any idea what i'm doing wrong, please feel free to jump in at any time.
  • No matter what i do I get the same results ("No input file specified page")! I tried every method mentioned her and on the net with no resolution. I would like to try vanilla forum and from what I see here I would like to use it for the long run and even incorporate it into my existing site. Can anyone help please if there is a new method/way to install or even someone can make a "How to install vanilla forum 2 for dummies" I would greatly appreciate it.

    Again Thanks in advance...
