I hope there's a new release soon that will incorporate these changes so I can use something a bit more stable than the current development version. ;-) It seems to be working fine, though.

The value of $this->$dbhname isn't checked before it's used in mysql_get_server_info() on line 75 in db-mysqli.php. If the connection fails, the error won't be echoed to the user because the use of @ on the mysql_connect() call and then the script just continues, assuming the connection went fine, which in my case, it din't. Also, the call should be to mysql<b>i</b>_connect() and not mysql_connect(), as far as I can understand.

The patch doesn't fix these problems and they need to be fixed for bbPress to work on my host. I'd write these comments on the associated ticket, but there doesn't seem to be any way to register or comment anonymously there.

Those latter warnings appeared during Step2 in the installation process, and is related to line 6 in upgrade-schema.php.
I have changed line 6 to
if ( version_compare($this->$dbhname, '4.1.0', '>=') )
but still get this warning:
Warning: mysqli_get_server_info() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/nicuuorg/public_html/neonatologyforparents/wp/bbp/bb-admin/upgrade-schema.php on line 6

PS. When I added $this->$dbhname inbetween the brackets "mysqli_get_server_info()" I got a fatal error during installation.

mysql_get_server_info
to

mysqli_get_server_info
     ^

There's a letter I in there and it does not look like you changed that based on your error message. You also still need to have the $this->$dbhname as the parameter as well (maybe you already did that, but did not catch the I part.)

I think the problem is with line 80 in db-mysqli.php:

if ( !empty($this->charset) && version_compare(mysql_get_server_info(), '4.1.0', '>=') )

I think mysql_get_server_info() should be mysqli_get_server_info()

Since the connection was made a couple lines earlier with @mysqli_connect, there is no mysql_connect link identifier, and none is passed in, so line 80 generates a warning and the setting of the charset errors out, and would never happen.

If you add the i to line 80, the warnings go away. I added my comments to the trac ticket.

I am trying to install bbpress with WP 2.3.
In the config-file for bbpress I have written EXACTLY the same databasename, username and password as in the config-file for WP.
Still, when I run the install.php for bbpress I get several lines of "warnings"/error messages before the installation text "Welcome to..."

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user 'nicuuorg'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/nicuuorg/public_html/neonatologyforparents/wp/bbp/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

Anyone understanding what's going on.

The WP runs without any problems.

Could it be related to that the username is not correctly read from the config.php-file. The username is nicuuorg_stefanj, but access is denied for 'nicuuorg'@'localhost' according to the warning above.
