Hello! I'm trying to set up a forum for our new website, and thought I'd give Vanilla a try. However, the whole process is a little confusing to me--I only know what about 1/3 of this stuff even means. I'm a writer, not a web designer. So, assuming it would be easier, I ran the automated installation. This is the error I get:
" Vanilla Installation Wizard (Step 1 of 3)"); if ($WarningCollector->Count() > 0) { echo(" Oops. We came across some problems while checking your permissions... ".$WarningCollector->GetMessages()." "
As if that's not bad enough (is it? I don't know, really), it goes on to say that I need to set up my permissions properly. I haven't a clue how to do this. It tells me how if I have a *nix server with command line access. Once again, I don't know what that means, but I'm pretty sure I don't have it.
I can figure the rest out--hopefully--but those first two bits have me stuck. Do you think this stuff is over my head, or do you think I can get by with a little help? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
All right, awesome, I got Filezilla and changed all my permissions. But now I have a new problem. When I click the "Click here to check your permissions and proceed to the next step", I get an alert that says "550 No Such Directory". Wha?
EDIT: Oh, and I'm still getting that warningcollector message.
It sounds to me like you've either failed to upload all of the files properly (ie. your ftp program messed up and only uploaded partial files), or your version of php is older and messing up.
Er, see what online? My version of PHP? For what it's worth, our host is GoDaddy, and they say that PHP is automatically enabled. I don't remember them saying anything about what version, though.
save it as phpinfo.php, upload it to your site and link to it here so people can have a look. (when you look at the file in a browser it will display all your php information, including which version).
Mark, I tried to get a link to the installer.php, but I honestly don't see how I could do that. As it is, the address is ftp://digital-cross.com/Lussumo/installer.php, but you won't be able to access that I think. Otherwise, I could copy and paste all of the output so you could view it. It's too much to post here on the forum, but I could probably just put it in a simple HTML file if you think it would help.
