I didn't know I could duplicate the needed entries from wp-config. Thanks again. fel64 on "Need Help With Install - Is this config filled out correctly?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/need-help-with-install-is-this-config-filled-out-correctly#post-8993 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 03:39:44 +0000 fel64 8993@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Yes. Your database info is wrong. Maybe you're the supposedly 1% that needs to change the db host - does your hosting provider give any info on connecting to databases? [Edit] Trent totally beat me to it, and better, too.

Double check that you have the right username, password and database name. That error just means that it is the wrong info. Double check you have the right password and stuff from your WP wp-config.php Trent ronaldp423 on "Need Help With Install - Is this config filled out correctly?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/need-help-with-install-is-this-config-filled-out-correctly#post-8985 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:47:27 +0000 ronaldp423 8985@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Hi Trent, I did as you instructed, and it now says; Cannot select DB. Could you give me another clue on this? thanks Trent on "Need Help With Install - Is this config filled out correctly?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/need-help-with-install-is-this-config-filled-out-correctly#post-8982 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 02:10:05 +0000 Trent 8982@http://bbpress.org/forums/ Right off the cuff, I would do the following until you have it installed correctly: 1) Remove: <pre><code>$bb->WP_BB = true; require_once( 'public_html/wp-blog-header.php' );</code></pre> 2) Change to false: <code>$bb->mod_rewrite = false;</code> Once you have bbPress installed and integrated with wordpress (logins), then play around with the permalinks and the including bbPRess functions with WP.
