All seems healthy now! Thanks everyone </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10988 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:55:32 +0000 chanzero 10988@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ok, I added data in the bb_forums table and now the forums come up. Yay! My problem now is that I can't get into the forum admin section. When I installed bbpress, it found user "chanzero" and assigned my account as keymaster but when I log in it won't show me the admin link, nor can i surf to /bb-admin/</p> <p>I looked at my RoleID in wp_users and it's 4, which I think should grant me access to BB admin? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10986 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:33:17 +0000 chrishajer 10986@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Can you add this line to your config.php right after the 4 MySQL setting lines:</p> <p><code>$bb-&gt;debug = 1;</code></p> <p>That should provide some useful information. Not sure if it will help here though. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10981 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 13:26:08 +0000 fel64 10981@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yeah, give it a shot. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10979 Tue, 18 Sep 2007 04:14:06 +0000 chanzero 10979@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>fel64: you're right, bb_forums is indeed empty. however i've run through the entire installation numerous times, including the page you linked to, and nothing ever populates there. which is strange. should i put some dummy data in there to trick the install? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10978 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:28:03 +0000 fel64 10978@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sounds like your bb_forums table is empty. If it is, bb thinks it hasn't been installed yet. Just continue with this install from here: <a href="http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/forum/bb-admin/install.php?step=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/forum/bb-admin/install.php?step=1</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10977 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:59:05 +0000 chanzero 10977@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://www.popcultureshock.com/pcs/forum/</a></p> <p>I thought of what you said and I've looked and found nothing. I looked in wp_options and saw bbsync which I deactivated &#38; deleted. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10976 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:48:31 +0000 chrishajer 10976@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Do you have an example of where this is happening? </p> <p>Maybe there is something with a previous integrated installation that is fouling things up? A WP plugin maybe? Some data in a wp_ table that bbPress is trying to read? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-wont-install#post-10974 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:31:56 +0000 chanzero 10974@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I've got some weirdness going on with my attempts to install bbpress. I have successfully installed it a number of times in various directories but always removed it (by deleting all bb_ tables in the database, and deleting the directory as well) because various features I wanted/needed at the time weren't available.</p> <p>However I just installed it for a client and that went well so I figured I'd give it another shot on my site. Unfortunately whenever I try to install it, things go fine until I get the "Finished! Now you can log in" message -- then I get the message "Doesn’t look like you’ve installed bbPress yet, go here."</p> <p>And I'm stuck in this inescapable loop. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times all with the same effect. Hopefully someone here has an idea what's wrong</p> <p>BTW I've got bbpress &#38; WP on the same database and have my config variables filled in for integrating</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
