(I've got an XP install using <a href="http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php" title="WAMP server">WAMP</a> as a server - just for testing stuff atm). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/localhost-installs#post-6438 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 06:34:00 +0000 mirfan 6438@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I changed<br /> <code>define( 'BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );</code><br /> with this:<br /> <code>define( 'BBPATH', str_replace('\\', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))) . '/' );</code><br /> in bb-load.php, and now it works on localhost with windows xp sp2. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/localhost-installs#post-6373 Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:23:15 +0000 tquizzle 6373@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>davetropeano's fix worked, although I had to dig a little to find out exactly what he was referring to.<br /> You dont want to create a <strong>field</strong> but rather a <strong>row</strong> in the "bb_topicmeta" table.<br /> I was able to check a working bbpress installation on Linux to verify the setting. I noticed that the bb_active_theme was set to use the full server path to the template folder. The below did the trick for me.</p> <p>meta_id = next available number<br /> topic_id = 0<br /> meta_key = bb_active_theme<br /> meta_value = /bbpress-path/bb-templates/theme-to-use/</p> <p>Save that, cross your fingers and refresh your forum. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/localhost-installs#post-6254 Sat, 31 Mar 2007 22:30:51 +0000 Trent 6254@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for the discussion!

I used the latest download from today.</p> <p>Checking on this forum I had the same path seperator issues and stylesheet issues others had, etc.</p> <p>My $bb-&gt;domain and $bb-&gt;path were fine. The fresh install just didn't work properly under xampp and then again a retry on easyPHP.</p> <p>This is the solution and findings I found:</p> <p>1. The first issue is because in config.php and bb-load.php dirname(__FILE__) is used to get the base path for BBPATH. This is not a good thing on localhost Windows based installs.</p> <p>2. There are a number of attempted workarounds to this that I've read about in this forum. All of them that I saw didn't work. Focusing on the issue with the stylesheet href not being correct I noticed that there was logic in the bb_get_active_theme_folder() function.</p> <p>By default, the installer does NOT create an option entry 'bb_active_theme' in the database table topicmeta. The code logic doesn't make the correct uri.</p> <p>To fix this, do an install and then add a database field bb_active_theme in the topicmeta table.</p> <p>For example, I set mine to:<br /> <a href="http://localhost/dev/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/dev/bbpress/</a></p> <p>Playing regular expression games to change x:\ and \ in general is not worth it. This seemed to be simple and worked right out of the box. </p>
