I *knew* it wasn't anything I'd done to the templates, 'cause I'd checked them a thousand times, plus it showed up even when I reverted to the original templates. Thanks for your help! :) chrishajer on "Weird Extra Characters Appearing" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/weird-extra-characters-appearing#post-22257 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:06:17 +0000 chrishajer 22257@http://bbpress.org/forums/ That's not really that weird or random. I suspect it's in one of the template files that was edited. Since it doesn't occur anywhere other than the front page (that I could see anyway) it's probably in the <a href="http://www.corvidaid.org/forum/bb-templates/caforum/front-page.php">front-page.php</a> template file. Just search that file, or all template files for the string "ousep". It should be pretty apparent. It could also be in the bb-config.php but I doubt it since that would probably throw a syntax error. Could be from "houseplant" or "mousepad" I suppose :-P Dirge2000 on "Weird Extra Characters Appearing" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/weird-extra-characters-appearing#post-22255 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 18:13:12 +0000 Dirge2000 22255@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Dunno what's going on, but I've just installed bbpress at <a href="http://www.corvidaid.org/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.corvidaid.org/forum/</a> and for some reason extra characters are being added into the page just at the start. View the source code and you see "ousep" just being spat out at random. I have no idea where it's coming from or what to do about it.

My guess is something there is not escaped properly. Can you check that? A file editor that has syntax highlighting will show it right away since the string will no longer be color coded as "quoted" if a character is not escaped properly. vim is a good command line editor for this if you have a shell. <a href="http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm">Notepad++</a> is good too. Doesn't matter which editor you use so long as it can do syntax highlighting for a php file. merajnet on "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING upon Installation" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-t_string-upon-installation#post-20716 Sat, 15 Nov 2008 22:02:12 +0000 merajnet 20716@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi all!

Since the first error message is appearing on line 7, my guess is that line 6 has the typo, the line with the database password in it. Can you check that? If it doesn't make sense, check my profile for a website and contact me through that website and I can help you.

Maybe change just one character in the sensitive information. The idea is not to destroy anything that might be an error in the file. If you edit ALL the sensitive information out, and then post it here, checking that file won't do much good, since it's not the original, not even close to it. maltejansson@gmail.com on "why Regisration disabled.

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with that bb-config, but you should just let the installer create it for you. BackPress is included with bbPress when you grab it via SVN or in the 1.0-Alpha packages. SO there is no need to get it separately. chrishajer on "Regarding Trunk Releases and Installation" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/regarding-trunk-releases-and-installation#post-19482 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:56:35 +0000 chrishajer 19482@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It's hard to tell if there's an error in an edited bb-config.php. I have seen where the secret keys are not properly escaped, and that creates a PHP problem. As you've posted it (edited) it works fine. I just did an svn checkout of r1736 and that included backpress r153, which is what's available at the URL you posted. Mine installed cleanly. I did not integrate with WordPress. You can see a one minute video of the installation here: <a href="http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/1736/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chrishajer.com/bbpress/1736/</a> I suspect a problem with the secret keys in the bb-config.php. Or some other syntax problem with the bb-config.php. If you have a command line with php you can run <code>php -l bb-config.php</code> to check that file for syntax errors. That's "php dash el", l for Lint.

I don't really think that the bb-config syntax is wrong because it's working with the Alpha just fine. Anyways, the code for what it's worse: <pre><code><?php // ** MySQL settings ** // define('BBDB_NAME', 'xxxxx'); // The name of the database define('BBDB_USER', 'xxxxx'); // Your MySQL username define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxx'); // ...and password define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old bb-config.php does define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them // If you are installing for the first time, leave them here // Change each KEY to a different unique phrase. You won't have to remember the phrases later, // so make them long and complicated. You can visit <a href="https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm</a> // to get phrases generated for you, or just make something up.

The installer is supposed to be working still with trunk. What release did you grab, just to be sure this is true? Do you have access to error logs? You probably have a 500 Internal Server Error being logged.

I'm eager to try out some of Sam's Trunk Releases on my site, but I keep running into installation issues. Since I'm new to these kind of test releases, it might just be a simple misunderstanding on my part though. In a nutshell, what I did is download the latest trunk, add a backpress release and try to install as usual. Well, after changing bb-config-sample.php into bb-config.php in step 1 the installer will just blank out on the following steps. Are these Releases not supposed to support the installer at this point? Thanks Rob gimecoffee on "Blank Screen" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/blank-screen#post-18761 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:40:24 +0000 gimecoffee 18761@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I just finished tracking down a similar problem (Blank screen on new install) for a colleague. I think chrishajer may be on to your problem with the key but not all linux installs allow php command lines and my httpd access and error logs gave no useful info. My colleague had copied the WP secret BUT not the whole thing. He stopped on an escape string ('\') which made php think the last single quote in the definition syntax was part of the key. This made the entire rest of the file part of the text in the definition instead of letting the php interpreter at it. For example: define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'Ts[5wi;{?2Sp%\"\'); should have been define('BB_SECRET_KEY', 'Ts[5wi;{?2Sp%\"\'} 4N_zAd6'); You can see in the first example that the escape character "\" is what breaks the rest of the file for php. If your WP key is ending with "\" (right before the single quote) then I would try deleting that character in both places and see if that does the trick. Happy hunting Rois chrishajer on "Help!

That's how I can usually tell if the bbPress is an old version or new version, based on the password being sent out when you register. There is no problem with having special characters in the secret keys: it's just that if they're not properly escaped, the server will choke on the config file because the bb-config.php does not have proper syntax. So, make sure the keys are the same for WordPress and bbPress, make sure the bb-config.php is syntactically correct (<code>php -l bb-config.php</code> from a Linux command line) and then figure out why you can't log in. You can also make the secret keys really short and easy to compare while testing to see if that's the problem. It's also worthwhile to check any php file you edited for the proper syntax. Maybe once you log in, you are being served another page that has a syntax error (a template file?) and that is causing the blank screen. Also, access to error logs will help with this, if you have them. hanjra on "Blank Screen" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/blank-screen#post-18589 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 12:08:57 +0000 hanjra 18589@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes i tried resetting the password.... one more thing... even i replaced the key with only numerics and alphabets but even then when i got resetted password, it contained special characters...
