Did you install bbpress in another database or did you install it again in the current database that Wordpress is at. If you installed in another database and then exported out the bb_ prefix tables and imported them in the database with the wp_ prefix tables, nothing should have happened to Wordpress. Either way, nothing should have happened to wordpress because bbpress uses the login information from Wordpress, not vice-versa. When I installed bbpress, I chose the 'key master' as an account that isn't the admin in Wordpress. That is a pain because I have to login as 1 user to administer bbpress and logout and login as another user to administer Wordpress. Of course, I figured all this out after importing my phpBB posts..... </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/configuring-configphp-file/page/2#post-1224 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 12:23:35 +0000 worrypascanada 1224@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Continued from my previous memo : all of my WordPress identifiers or users names have disappeared (empty) from their posts and comments... as if they never existed.

My web host help desk has provided me the support. The only problem, I can longer access existing and previous WordPress Administrator access. It's solely bbPress Admin that has access to WordPress as a regular user. What do you suggest? My web host has made a backups, so did I on a regular basis, then don't worry about reverting back to previous WordPress settings. </p> <p>Robert. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/configuring-configphp-file/page/2#post-1188 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:14:10 +0000 Trent 1188@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I understand what you are saying. You are getting the page that says (translated to English):</p> <p>Already Installed</p> <p>You appear to have already installed bbPress. Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade scripts instead? To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.</p> <p>Here is a question.....which database is your Wordpress installed in with the wp_ prefix in the database? I would assume that just looking at your Wordpress wp-config.php file would have the database information. Then I would make sure that your bbPress config.php has the same database information. If you run the install and it says the same error as above, I am 99.9% sure that the bb_ in in that database. </p> <p>Alright now...assuming I am wrong, why not change the config.php file for bbPress to see if you can install in one of your other databases to see if something else causing your installer problems. Then you can run the install for the user 'key master' that you want and then export the tables out of that database and then import them into your current wordpress database.</p> <p>Just a thought.....at least somewhere to start!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/configuring-configphp-file/page/2#post-1178 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 01:55:02 +0000 worrypascanada 1178@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>«...

Go into the cpanel and delete all the bb_ prefix tables in your database. That will allow you to properly run the 'intall' program again. It won't let you re-install as long as the tables are there. You most likely will have access through cpanel to phpMyadmin or a similar tool. Login into that as you username and password for the database to view it. Maybe ask your host if you need to.</p> <p>Hope that helps.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/configuring-configphp-file#post-1175 Tue, 07 Nov 2006 01:38:49 +0000 worrypascanada 1175@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks Trent,</p> <p>Yes, I also wish I could clean up my previous posts.</p> <p>My only main issue to resolve is that I’m no longer capable of Running the Installer in order to get new Admin access, username and password, even after new fresh FTP upload.

Then, sometime, I deleted the bbPress MySQL database and bbPress users. I did not run bbPress Running Installer a 2nd time reason my bbPress was available immediately <a href="http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/</a> .</p> <p>Since, I've been capable of reaching the Running Installer needed to create a new Admin username and password.</p> <p>To your request, I checked again my MySQL database, there are no bbPress MySQL database. Then, I deleted again all bbPress folders/files using my bulletproofFTP. After, I FTP uploaded bbPress folders/files back to /public_html/blogue/bbpress location. Still the same results, <a href="http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/" rel="nofollow">http://patrimoineacadien.com/bbpress/</a> is already up and bbPress never ask me the Running Installer.</p> <p>What else can I do?
