Sorry about that. This is how it was done before the 0.9 release. Now it looks like that option was moved into the database. In the database in the <code>bb_topicmeta</code> table, there is an entry with a <code>meta_key</code> of <code>uri</code> that holds this value. I think that means it was entered when you went through the installation, and gets inserted into the database. I just tried another installation with 0.9.0.2 and that value is prefilled in the form.</p> <pre><code>Site address (URL): We have attempted to guess this, it&#39;s usually correct, but change it here if you wish.</code></pre> <p>&nbsp;<br /> The correct URL was prefilled here. When I clear it out and submit, I get the following error:</p> <p><code>Site address (URL): • This value is required to continue.</code></p> <p>So, for some reason, it looks like this error check did not work for you, or the value that was inserted into the database is not valid. Can you use a tool like phpMyAdmin to look at the database and see if you have a bb_topicmeta table, with a record that has a meta_key of <code>uri</code> and see that the value is? The record is meta_id 3 in my installation.</p> <p>If you can't do that, can you reinstall if you have not used the forum yet?</p> <p>Also, I see you're on IIS. I wonder if there are any differences with hosting there from what I am used to, which is Linux and Apache. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-15911 Thu, 01 May 2008 12:23:20 +0000 rslater 15911@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I do not see $bb-&gt;uri anywhere in the upgraded config file? or a place to assign the domain name </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-15910 Thu, 01 May 2008 12:22:23 +0000 rslater 15910@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I do not see $bb-&gt;uri anywhere in the upgraded config file? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-15895 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:30:01 +0000 chrishajer 15895@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Looks like that comes from bb-settings.php (line 156 in 0.9.0.1):</p> <pre><code>// Die if no URI if ( !$bb-&gt;uri &#38;&#38; ( !defined(&#39;BB_INSTALLING&#39;) || !BB_INSTALLING ) ) { bb_die( __(&#39;Could not determine site URI&#39;) ); }</code></pre> <p>I think that says "If there is no $bb-&gt;uri defined AND you're not installing, then die with this message."</p> <p>So, in your bb-config.php, what do you have defined for $bb-&gt;uri? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-15894 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:45:08 +0000 rslater 15894@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Could not determine site URI..

As the mail server administrator I was getting delivery failure notifications which reported that the receiving SMTP host had rejected the email with:</p> <p>&lt;xxxxx@aol.com&gt;: host mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57] said: 501 SYNTAX<br /> ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS (in reply to MAIL FROM command)</p> <p>I increased logging on Postfix and tested it and found:</p> <p>mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: MAIL FROM:&lt;yyyyyyyy@localhost&gt;<br /> mailin-04.mx.aol.com[64.12.138.57]: 501 SYNTAX ERROR IN PARAMETERS OR ARGUMENTS</p> <p>Where 'yyyyyyyy' is the mail server's local user account for the domain doing the sending.</p> <p>It looks as if the AOL server is rejecting the @localhost part of the MAIL FROM field. I've looked in the bbPress config.php and in the administration options of the dashboard but can't see why bbPress is using localhost. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0831-released#post-13562 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:51:39 +0000 SessionX1 13562@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>omg, your are so good. xD</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0831-released#post-13561 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:45:43 +0000 chrishajer 13561@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>This stylesheet is referenced in your html, but it's not actually there:<br /> <a href="http://www.wp-portal.de/my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css?v=8" rel="nofollow">http://www.wp-portal.de/my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css?v=8</a></p> <pre><code>404 Not Found Not Found The requested URL /my-templates/bbpress-forum/style2.css was not found on this server.</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0831-released#post-13560 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 16:20:02 +0000 SessionX1 13560@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Now it folds finally.<br /> This was possible by the .htaccess. </p> <p>Now I wanted to install the Design, whatever is used here, but that is not correctly indicated. </p> <p><a href="http://www.wp-portal.de/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wp-portal.de/</a></p> <p>Why? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0831-released#post-13555 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:53:31 +0000 chrishajer 13555@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>While this looks ugly, they're just PHP warnings. PHP error messages and warnings should not be visible on a production webserver anyway. They are there because of a problem with the bbPress code and the way it is interacting with your server, but they are not preventing you from going further. If you suppress the PHP warnings (maybe you have access to your .htaccess file) you will be blissfully unaware of the warnings.</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages?replies=16#post-13128" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/php-error-messages?replies=16#post-13128</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-0831-released#post-13541 Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:50:04 +0000 SessionX1 13541@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>That I made now already fourth time and it come again and again the same error.

When I tried to use it with my <em>favorite notification</em> plugin I got some problems, so I decided to hardcode the mail-function into my plugin.<br /> <code><br /> mail( $userdata-&gt;user_email, bb_get_option('name') . ':' . __('Notification'),<br /> sprintf( $message, $topic-&gt;topic_title, get_user_name($bb_current_user-&gt;ID), get_topic_link($topic_id) ),<br /> 'From: ' . bb_get_option('admin_email') );<br /> </code></p> <p>I just kept it simple there. Did someone of you try to hardcode the mailing into the registration function? Would be interesting to see if it works then?! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-wont-send-from-anyhting#post-13359 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 03:14:09 +0000 rslater 13359@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am trying to think if there is a work around // using what works ..

I am baffled. The only thing I can think is the following:</p> <p>bbpress resides in folder one up from Word press. I am wondering if there is a file permission issue for that folder. But again the odd thing is.. the favorites notification works just fine and it is in the same plugin folder as the plugin Sam had me upload. I do not know. I hope Sam may have more ideas.</p> <p>None of this makes sense. It has to be a BBpress email php coding issue.. But why is it so different from wordpress and the bpress plugin "favorites notification" that work fine. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13350 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:34:03 +0000 chrishajer 13350@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>One thing I always thought was interesting was that mail appears to be sent from <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a>, whether or not that is a valid email. So, if you responded to your password email or something, it would be sent to that bbpress@ address, which might be invalid, so it would bounce. </p> <p>I wonder if <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a> has to be set up as a valid email account on the server, so if the SMTP server says "let me make sure this is one of my users before I sent out email for him" it will work. Since you wouldn't normally have a <a href="mailto:bbpress@yourdomain.com">bbpress@yourdomain.com</a> address already set up, maybe some MTAs don't like it and give up on the mail altogether.</p> <p>Why wouldn't the email just be sent from the admin email address since we're asked to enter it in config.php anyway?</p> <p>Any thoughts? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/user-registration#post-13343 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:15:30 +0000 rslater 13343@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Still does not work..

Try this code in a plugin and make sure your admin_email option is a valid email address:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if ( !function_exists( &#39;bb_mail&#39; ) ) : function bb_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers = &#39;&#39; ) { if (!is_array($headers)) { $headers = trim($headers); $headers = preg_split(&#39;@\r(?:\n{0,1})|\n@&#39;, $headers); } if (!count($headers) || !count(preg_grep(&#39;/^from:\s/im&#39;, $headers))) { if (!$from = bb_get_option(&#39;admin_email&#39;)) if ($uri_parsed = parse_url(bb_get_option(&#39;uri&#39;))) if ($uri_parsed[&#39;host&#39;]) $from = &#39;bbpress@&#39; . trim(preg_replace(&#39;/^www./i&#39;, &#39;&#39;, $uri_parsed[&#39;host&#39;])); if ($from) $headers[] = &#39;From: &quot;&#39; . bb_get_option(&#39;name&#39;) . &#39;&quot; &lt;&#39; . $from . &#39;&gt;&#39;; } $headers = trim(join(&quot;\r\n&quot;, $headers)); return @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } endif; ?&gt;</code></pre>
