I've been using subversion so long I forgot they packaged up the alpha release and released it on the download page. In that case, I have no idea how to tell the revision, other than going through files and comparing them the specific revisions in the repository. For this specific problem, though, you need r1649 which includes the change that Sam says fixed this problem. The bb-admin/admin-functions.php file in the archive you downloaded and the latest alpha are different. If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to download a later alpha version and see if it fixes this plugin problem for you. These alpha version should not be used on a production site, FYI. beernews on "Plugins not activating on local XAMPP" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-not-activating-on-local-xampp#post-19559 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:23:01 +0000 beernews 19559@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks for the message, Chris. I downloaded the file from the Download page here 2 days ago. Unfortunately, a search here, nor FAQ, nor google search, nor lookup of the readme file in the install led me to the answer of how to retrieve this mysterious 'revision number'! Any chance we can get a modification of the 'Version number' sticky to include that info? Thanks! chrishajer on "Plugins not activating on local XAMPP" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-not-activating-on-local-xampp#post-19549 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:32:12 +0000 chrishajer 19549@http://bbpress.org/forums/ What revision of Alpha did you install? Looks like ticket 924 took care of the problem in revision 1649. The latest 1.0 alpha is r1755, which includes that change. beernews on "Plugins not activating on local XAMPP" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-not-activating-on-local-xampp#post-19540 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:44:29 +0000 beernews 19540@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-not-activating-in-alpha#post-18328" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugins-not-activating-in-alpha#post-18328</a> Problem is verbatim to what that poster experienced though I'm confused as to whether it was actually resolved. I am using Alpha Unstable 1.0. Maybe I need to go down to the last stable version (or maybe Alpha 1 will become stable this week?!). bbx on "BBPress on XAMPP - 'page isn't redirecting properly'" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-on-xampp-page-isnt-redirecting-properly#post-7664 Sat, 26 May 2007 23:11:43 +0000 bbx 7664@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Lool, I had the exact same problem, and you're right: searching IS helpful!

(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). mirfan on "localhost installs" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/localhost-installs#post-6438 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 06:34:00 +0000 mirfan 6438@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I changed <code>define( 'BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );</code> with this: <code>define( 'BBPATH', str_replace('\\', '/', realpath(dirname(__FILE__))) . '/' );</code> in bb-load.php, and now it works on localhost with windows xp sp2. tquizzle on "localhost installs" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/localhost-installs#post-6373 Wed, 04 Apr 2007 16:23:15 +0000 tquizzle 6373@http://bbpress.org/forums/ davetropeano's fix worked, although I had to dig a little to find out exactly what he was referring to. You dont want to create a field but rather a row in the "bb_topicmeta" table. 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. meta_id = next available number topic_id = 0 meta_key = bb_active_theme meta_value = /bbpress-path/bb-templates/theme-to-use/ Save that, cross your fingers and refresh your forum.

I used the latest download from today. Checking on this forum I had the same path seperator issues and stylesheet issues others had, etc. My $bb->domain and $bb->path were fine. The fresh install just didn't work properly under xampp and then again a retry on easyPHP. This is the solution and findings I found: 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. 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. 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. To fix this, do an install and then add a database field bb_active_theme in the topicmeta table. For example, I set mine to: <a href="http://localhost/dev/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/dev/bbpress/</a> 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. kfordham281 on "BBPress on XAMPP - 'page isn't redirecting properly'" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-on-xampp-page-isnt-redirecting-properly#post-5334 Fri, 09 Mar 2007 19:19:23 +0000 kfordham281 5334@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Thanks teknoseyir!

Can someone point out the file to change? Thanks for your help Detailed log of events below 0. XAMPPlite installation on a USB thumbdrive with 'Wordpress', 'Mediawiki', 'Vanilla', Gallery2' running smoothly 1. Extracted bbpress into htdocs directory 2. Changed bbpress config.php (see below) 3. Started install and went throught step 1 (see below), step 2 (got password) and 4. Came to the site 'knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum (typing: 'http://localhost/bbpress/') (strangely ugly, so apparently theme did not load, somewhere I set a wrong path?) 5. Tried to login: Access forbidden! =>You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. 6. Clicked on any other link on the forum page and got the same result 7. Checked config file of 'Vanilla' ('settings.php') there the same parameter worked (irrelevant as Vanilla is Vanilla and bbpress/bbpress) =>Note: Write protection can not be the problem as it is XAMPPlite on a PC so nothing is protected 8. Changed config.php $bb->path ='/'; and now I can see my forum 9. Login, okay 10. Go to 'Topic - ADD NEW' and write a new topic, click 'Send Post' and get 11. 'The page isn't redirecting properly' This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies' 12. Start the never used IE and with 'localhost/bbpress' go to the forum. click on any link and get (after long wait) nothing 13. In Firefox try other links it all goes to the same 'the page isn't redirecting properly (cookies are enabled) => So I think in 1step install the 'Location: X:\htdocs\bbpress' has to be changed but in what file? 14. Check 'settings.php and register.php' but the wrong string 'X:/htdocs/bbpress/' from below is not found. 15. Do you have an answer? bbpress config file // define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbpress'); // define('BBDB_USER', 'root'); // define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // $bb->domain = 'http://localhost/bbpress'; // $bb->path = 'X:/htdocs/bbpress/'; (=> changed to '/'; and could access forum, add a post, but can't see) // $bb->name = 'knowledgeflowsaround.us/forum'; 1step install login name: admin website: <a href="http://localhost/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/bbpress/</a> location: X:\htdocs\bbpress/ 1st Forum: Working in DevAid
