As usual :)<br /> I'd pasted the Akismet key into config.php but because it previously defaulted to false I ommited to add quotes around it which it needed. Add the quotes and it installed.</p> <p>I'm probably not the first with this one and almost certainly wont be the last!</p> <p>Thanks for your time and effort. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-to-local-mac#post-1668 Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:47:08 +0000 YellowSwordfish 1668@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Mac OSX - Apache 1.3.33 - PHP 5.1.4 - MySQL 5.0.20a-standard</p> <p>Was about to take a look at the install script..! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-to-local-mac#post-1667 Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:40:49 +0000 Trent 1667@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>What are you installed on?

If, for example, I drop a phpinfo script into the 'forum' folder then I can display that OK - as I can the image in the forum/bb-images folder.</p> <p>And yes - I am attempting to run the /forum/bb-admin/install/php script. For the record, trying index.php gives the same blank screen.</p> <p>Puzzling! As I say my WP test site has been running successfully for a long time as has a local copy of Gallery2. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-to-local-mac#post-1659 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 17:50:02 +0000 Trent 1659@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Is there any indications that any of <a href="http://127.0.0.1/forum/" rel="nofollow">http://127.0.0.1/forum/</a> is readable? Just to be clear as well, <a href="http://127.0.0.1/forum/bb-admin/install.php" rel="nofollow">http://127.0.0.1/forum/bb-admin/install.php</a> is the address you are trying to reach or just going to <a href="http://127.0.0.1/forum/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://127.0.0.1/forum/index.php</a> to get redirected.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-to-local-mac#post-1658 Mon, 27 Nov 2006 17:40:51 +0000 YellowSwordfish 1658@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am trying to install bbPress to my local Mac into a subfolder of my test WP installation which has been set up and working for over a year now.</p> <p>This means my url is not an 'www.example.com' address but a 127.0.0.1 (or, in my case, my local network IP which works just as well). So I have set up config.php with this address. and the path as '/forum/'.</p> <p>When then trying to run the install script however, it just takes me to a comletely blank page. (A similar problem was raised here: <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/143?replies=1" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/143?replies=1</a> but received no reply).</p> <p>Does anyone have any ideas what this points to? </p>
