Vanilla forums Instalation issue

Permalink
I have been building my site using concrete5 and have installed vanilla forums but the problem I have is that when I tried to install the add-on for vanilla forums it says I need to make the public_html/controllers writable the issue I have is that it was already 755 and now i set it to 777 and still cannot install this add-on.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I have the same issue. My site is actually hosted on a subdomain and I think that may be part of the problem. The error is stating that the folder /www/subdomain.domain.com/public_html/controllers (this is not the actual url) needs to be writeable. I did set the write permissions on the controllers folder, however this made no difference.

Could this be due to the /www/ being prefixed on the url?

Can anyone give me some insight into the problem I've had with my vanilla forums. I was able to get the file from GitHub and managed to fix the SSO issue.

Now, after fixing the problem, I have a Google user, who signed onto my concrete site with the "social login" plugin. Somehow, he didn't get logged into vanilla forums, so now he has an account with no forum access.

Is there a way I can manually push through his credentials to vanilla? What would cause this issue? I just tried to use a friend's google plus login with no problem at all.
