Hi flowiesowieso,

Deprecated errors:
This is a common error with WAMP runing PHP 5.3.
You should go to the WAMP homepage > addons > PHP > 5.2.x (latest one)

Download, Install and then next time you start WAMP, you can click the menu-bar option (bottom right of the screen) and change the PHP version it's running.

This issue has been fixed for the next release of bbPress, so it's only a small issue.

Cannot determine:

This is an upgrade issue.
The easiest way is to head into phpmyadmin and look through your meta table and see if you see anything weird or blank. I know that's kind of vague (sorry), but there's a good chance you'll see your URL slightly wrong in one of the fields (no http, or no localhost or something).

let us know what you find.

Which PHP version are you using?

Hello,

I'm using bbpress 0.8.3.1 at my site. Since there is a 1.0 release I've been wanting to update my bbpress. But to make sure everything works fine I tried the update on my localhost with Wampserver. Once I follow the install instructions I've been asked to create a new bb-config. Filling in the 4 steps gives me an error saying:

Installation errors
Forums already exist!
Key master email not sent!

Installation log
Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 - Creating database tables
>>> Database is already installed!!!

Step 2 - WordPress integration (optional)
>>> Integration not enabled

Step 3 - Site settings
>>> Site name: forum
>>> Site address (URL): http://localhost/forum/
>>> From email address: myadres@gmail.com
>>> Key master created
>>>>>> Username: admin
>>>>>> Email address: myadres@gmail.com
>>>>>> Password:
>>> There are existing forums in this database.
>>>>>> No new forum created.
>>> Key master email not sent!

There were some errors encountered during installation!

If I go to http://localhost/forum it says;

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in I:\wamp\www\forum\bb-settings.php on line 186

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in I:\wamp\www\forum\bb-includes\backpress\functions.wp-object-cache.php on line 108

Could not determine site URI

I've no idea were to resolve this problem. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm quite scared to do this for my live verion of the forum. Or shouldn't I and is the problem probably with trying it on my localhost with Wampserver?

Unless you absolutely need 1.0 for some reason, stick with 0.9.0.2

I'd say it was latin1 all along.

I'm not sure how well older versions of bbPress handled character sets. But it works properly now at least.

There are other factors that could have influenced things as well, but the permutations are a little too numerous to list.

So it's likely that my database was latin1 all along, when created in admin, since I haven't touched it and the only thing that could have is bbPress' install or upgrade script? I don't understand why I didn't get the problems after install then, since UTF8 was specified in config.php, while getting the problem after the upgrade forced me to change it to latin1 in config.php. Have I stumbled onto a bug, or is it something else?

Edit: I'm no database ninja, so sorry if I'm not getting things. :)

bbPress will create tables using the character set and collation specified in the config.php file. However it won't change the tables character set or collation if they are already created, as in the case with upgrades like yours.

In fact, once installed, the collation value is not used at all, but the character set value is forced on every connection to the database with "SET NAMES 'foo'", where 'foo' is the character set (if it is specified).

So if your database is 'latin1', and for some reason we don't address it that way you will get improper character mapping of your data to characters.

For some reason UTF8 worked before, but the db was latin1. Does bbPress create the tables in latin1?

Anyway, changing to the right latin1 table in config.php did the trick. Weird that I didn't have the issue before the upgrade though.

Thanks!

You should find out what character set your database is in and try to match it with the charset constant in the new config.php

Copy all other config values over verbatim.

I did not overwrite or change config.php at all, since the upgrade instructions said I should keep it. Should I upload the new one?

Did you change or not set the database character encoding settings in config.php.

They need to match your previous install, including being blank if you previous install did not have them set.

Thanks for the tip on updating bbPress themes, sambauers. I'll check out the link now. I'm still new to bbPress skinning but hopefully it'll be pretty straight forward. :)

Just did the upgrade to 0.8.3.1 from 0.8.3, and to my dismay I see that every special character (as in national characters that worked just fine before, such as åäö and ÅÄÖ) are broken.

Can this be fixed or should I just revert back?

If you have created a theme based on one of my raw themes at bbpressraw.com you may not need to change it (see this post).

This will ultimately depend on any changes you made to the php files of the blank theme you downloaded.

Here you can post any questions about the new "forum breadcrumb" and "topic label" template functions introduced in version 0.8.3.1

For starters, the best thing to do is just look at the way Kakumei was changed.
