I hope that makes sense... I am pretty sure I am not using the right terms. Hopefully, you can follow what I am saying. In short, make sure the php extensions / environment on you localhost match the extensions/environment of the remote host.

I follow this thread, and i dont know why solution from nanome works perfectly for me...

thanks

Not sure why, or what's going on with it.. but apparently she's holding a grudge against Xampp Lite and the localhost... damn bitch!!!! LOL! Nah, just kidding folks! :P

Do you know if mdawaffe had applied a fix yet or not? I noticed a handful of files come through the SVN, just not sure if one contains a "fix" or whatever.. lol!

Thanks,

By the way, upon reinstalling without using DW, I did not have the initial reverse-slash issue. In other words, I am not having to use the path-to-url plugin, with or without its subsequent tweak.

By the way 2: I know this would be a "duh" comment for many, but just in case it helps someone avoid the problems I had: When running bb-admin/install.php, in the field where it calls for your web site, do not enter a trailing slash. I tend to add one out of habit, and I think that was the cause of some of my earlier problems.

Admittedly your fix might not be the cause of the current problem. I'll reinstall and see what happens. Your fix certainly was successful with the original problem. Thanks again.

Prehaps, the more experienced mods here will be able to help.

What are you running on?

Glad it worked for you as well.

Since I only downloaded BBpress today this hack comes with "use at own risk warning". Don't know what other effects it may have on other parts of the script. Saying that, it works ok for me so far.

That fix, as path-to-url.php in the my-plugins directory, did the trick immediately. Thanks for the hack.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/lee\bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css" type="text/css" />

Created the plugin as Trent suggested but that didn't solve the problem. Played around with the code a bit and now it does work.

Here is my hacked version.

<?php

function fix_bb_path_to_url( $url ) {
	$url = str_replace(array('//', '\\', '\'), array('/', '\', '/'), $url);
	return preg_replace( '|:/([^/])|', '://', $url );
}

add_filter( 'bb_path_to_url', 'fix_bb_path_to_url', 1, -1 );

?>

Only difference is adding '\\' to the str_replace.

Of course my suggestion is only a temporary solution. But I am of the belief that the QA or dev server should be the same configuration as the production server, to eliminate the possibility of bugs being introduced when you go live. Installing this on localhost on a Windows desktop machine and 'making it work' when your production site is on a linux server seems to me like too much work.

With bbPress still being beta, I'm not too worried about it. WordPress 1.0-RC1 was released somewhere around Jan 1 2004. Their version before that, 0.72 beta1 was released in August 2003. There's certainly time to get it right.

That's a temporary solution, but once bbPress goes final and gets publicity the likes of WordPress, this Windows/localhost problem will need to be addressed.

To tell you the truth, I didn't have any issues going from my Xampp Lite localhost copies, straight to my live servers. I just find it odd though that this whole time of running that bbPress on the localhost, and just applying the SVN updated files from time to time. It was fine..

It was only when I installed it fresh, with the latest copies of Trunk that it gave me this problem. I SVN CO the trunk on my other new domain via SSH and it went smoothly... no troubles though, I guess that's to be expected. Hmm.. I'll have to look into the problem a little deeper.

I'm trying to when I have the time, but with being so busy.. it's hard taking a gander at it...sigh.

How about installing a linux distro in house since your server is linux also?

Geesh, didn't even think of that, or try it. Thanks for that, I'll have to give it a go then. ;) :)

How about installing a linux distro in house since your server is linux also?

Yeah, I've played on the live environments before. Sub domains and such. However, I'm also on crap dial-up connections and don't always have time to be online. Also, since there is only ONE phone line in the house and the family using the line .. it sucks.

But this issue wasn't that bad before, it just started up I think the past few times of fondling the bbPress software. They need to fix this shit, and once it's working good.. leave it the hell alone! LoL! =P

I think the developers could better use their resources making bbPress work in production environments (MS and *nix) rather than on localhost. There seem to be quite a few path/slash\config issues getting it running on localhost.

I'd like to get Chelsea working here soon!! Wheee!

That plugin Trent posted is applied, and is NOT working... Please, fix this issue soon guys.. ;) :) And by the way, no, my localhost copy of the forums are still borked.. >_<

And course! My config.php file settings are right.. I've done this numerous of times before.. wheee! Even used the original config.php file from before, when it was installed before and working.. she still borked regardless sigh..
