Seems like it's a server configuration thing, not even related to PHP or CGI. You should be able to view this file, for example, but you cannot:<br /> <a href="http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-images/bbpress.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-images/bbpress.png</a></p> <p>In fact, it's an internal server error code 500, but the server is configured to show this error message, which might be misleading. If you have access to error logs, that will help determine what's causing the 500 error.</p> <p>If it's something applying to that directory and all lower lever directories, <strong>maybe there is a problem with the .htaccess file (if you are using one) in the forum directory</strong>. Do you have a proper .htaccess file? Please post the content here. I am starting to think an error in the .htaccess file is the problem for it to cause a 500 error on the forum directory or any subdirectory you try to access.</p> <p>Permalinks on false is good.</p> <p>bbPress does not need its own database, but it does need <strong>a</strong> database, and the table prefix will be bb_ by default. So long as that doesn't conflict with any other tables you already have, it's OK to use an existing database. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installphp-have-not-enabled-cgi#post-14607 Sat, 22 Mar 2008 20:48:46 +0000 proko 14607@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>i have installed how it will be described in the documentation.</p> <p>When i go to my install.php (http://www.kreativoase.at/taufkerze/forum/bb-admin/install.php) I am getting this:</p> <p>The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

I went back to my wp-config file to compare the two. And here is my problem. wp-config is a nice orderly formatted file. everything is laid out nice and neatly and I can see what it is requesting from me.</p> <p>the bb config.php file is one long run-on sentence. It was very difficult to understand what I needed to change, and what I did not need to change.</p> <p>So I compared the 2 files, and got through the installation. But the forum has no stylesheet associated with it? Check it out at: <a href="http://condofyi.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://condofyi.com/bbpress/</a></p> <p>I assumed that it would be seemlessly integrated with the style of my WP site. Maybe I do not have the config.php setup correctly? And more importantly, the forum and topic links seem to be invalid.</p> <p>Any further advice would be great. You have really got me going in the right direction now.</p> <p>Let me know what you think. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation#post-11925 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:42:57 +0000 chrishajer 11925@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>WordPress uses wp-config.php and bbPress uses config.php (although I thought there was talk of prepending bb_ to some files, including that one.)</p> <p>Anyway, having it in a subdirectory as you do is perfect. If you cannot select the database, then something is wrong in your config.php. The connection details should be the exact same ones as in wp-config.php. Are they? The table prefix should be different in bbPress config.php and can be left as bb_. The table prefix in WordPress wp-config.php might be wp_.</p> <p>Is there more to the error message? There has been some other trouble recently but it gives a different error message. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation#post-11924 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:58:27 +0000 pwagner3 11924@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't know if this is helpful, but I have installed bbPress in its own subdirectory /public_html/bbpress/ whereas all WP elements are installed in the /public_html/ directory.</p> <p>I noticed that both WP and bbP had a config.php file, so I figured they could not coexsist in the same directory.</p> <p>I hope this helps. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation#post-11923 Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:36:42 +0000 pwagner3 11923@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi guys.
