Could just be face value though, I'll keep things posted. robomilk on "can't access admin dashboard" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard#post-15479 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:04:11 +0000 robomilk 15479@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <blockquote>I don't know anything about MU and how integration with bbPress and MU works.</blockquote> That's the weird thing, after I effectively stopped it being integrated then it still failed to let me into the admin panel. Even more curious is that although my forum user database still exists, it doesn't seem that bbPress is now recognising it - even though it's set to use the same database. All users are displaying as Anonymous or Inactive. I think I solved why I can't access the admin panel though... it doesn't appear that I'm an admin anymore...

Check this URL: <a href="http://robomilk.sirkain.net/wp-signup.php?new=bb-admin" rel="nofollow">http://robomilk.sirkain.net/wp-signup.php?new=bb-admin</a> I tried to access (which should just give a 404): <a href="http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/bb-admin/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://robomilk.sirkain.net/forum/bb-admin/index.html</a> and it redirected me there. I think it's safe to say it's something with the host or with some existing rewrite rules in an .htaccess file or something. robomilk on "can't access admin dashboard" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard#post-15435 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:09:48 +0000 robomilk 15435@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi, I'm currently having a similar problem. Having just upgraded to the new version of bbPress and taking advantage of it's automated Wordpress integration. However upon completing this I found I couldn't access the admin panel. I removed the bb-config.php file and ran through the installation again, leaving out the sections relating to Wordpress integration. However I still cannot access the administrative panel. I've tried some of the recommendations around the forum such as <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/fix-admin-access/">this</a>, but to no avail. Ideas? Feedback appreciated. vhilaire on "can't access admin dashboard" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard#post-13178 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 00:12:02 +0000 vhilaire 13178@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Nevermind, I took out the WordPress integration stuff and the admin dashboard came back. vhilaire on "can't access admin dashboard" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard#post-13172 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:40:30 +0000 vhilaire 13172@http://bbpress.org/forums/ The URL to the forum is: <a href="http://www.johnmayerfans.com/boards" rel="nofollow">http://www.johnmayerfans.com/boards</a> The forum itself seems to be working the way it should. When I first created the config file I left the whole "integrating with wordpress" section blank. I didn't fill it out. Then I filled it in once I found that the pretty slug permalinks weren't working right. Once I did that the forums worked fine but then I couldn't get into the main Admin dashboard. Here's my config file as it is now: <?php require_once('/home/26615/domains/johnmayerfans.com/html/blog/wp-blog-header.php'); // ** MySQL settings ** // define('BBDB_NAME', '***************'); // The name of the database define('BBDB_USER', '******'); // Your MySQL username define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '*********'); // ...and password define('BBDB_HOST', '************'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old 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 the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database. $bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please! // The full URL of your bbPress install $bb->uri = 'http://www.johnmayerfans.com/boards/'; // What are you going to call me? $bb->name = 'JohnMayerFans.com Message Boards'; // This must be set before you run the install script. $bb->admin_email = 'myemail@gmail.com'; // Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to 'slugs' if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks. $bb->mod_rewrite = 'slugs'; // The number of topics that show on each page. $bb->page_topics = 30; // A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting. $bb->edit_lock = 60; // Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time. $bb->gmt_offset = -8; // Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the // chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages. // For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to 'de' // to enable German language support. define('BBLANG', ''); // Your Akismet Key.

And what is the URL? Is it possible permalinks are redirecting you to the wrong place now, somehow? vhilaire on "can't access admin dashboard" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-access-admin-dashboard#post-13159 Tue, 15 Jan 2008 02:23:06 +0000 vhilaire 13159@http://bbpress.org/forums/ I installed bbPress and was able to get into the Admin dashboard right after installation. However once I changed the config file to talk to WordPress I can't get to the bbPress admin dashboard anymore. It just redirects me to my bbPress homepage. Any idea what's causing the problem?
