I messed up. I was manually trying to move my url.com/vanilla installation to the public_html root directory and thought it would take only 2 changes:
1.) change the default vanilla path from url.com/vanilla to url.com on the Settings.php admin page 2.) move all files form /vanilla to /
OK - so I got that I was wrong! ;)
Now after putting everything back that way it was, I cannot get to the settings.php to reverse my step 1 listed above, and that page, as well as my Discussion pages are coming up blank or with an error.
- Disscussion.php error - Not Found The requested URL /comments.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.papertrade.us Port 80 ---------
settings.php page is blank - no error or anything.
Sorry for the time and trouble, but if you can point me to my wrong ways with some assistance, I will greatly appreciate it.
I ended up just deleting the installation and starting over since I didn't have much to lose at this point.
Big thanks for Mark and anyone else who is developing Vanilla. I can't believe that with the size of the Vanilla install (~1.6MB unzipped) how much this small package packs a huge punch. I deleted my phpBB installation that I was going to use for my forum at first, and am a Vanilla believer.
Also thank you to all of the extension developers out there. There are so many awesome extensions!
