bbPress Installation Error (Integration with WordPress)

  1. Hello,

    I am trying to install bbPress onto the same Database I have installed WordPress. But I keep getting an error (see below).

    As far as I'm aware I have filled in the appropriate config.php information. With the same information that I've got on the WordPress wd_config.php.

    But still no luck. Both WordPress and bbPress have been downloaded from the official websites merely a few days back.

    Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in /home/.stinkybutt/vault21/ibnmuslim.com/abdi/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

    Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/.stinkybutt/vault21/ibnmuslim.com/abdi/forums/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php on line 80

    I really do appreciate any and all help with regards to this matter.

    Kindest regards
    Hisham

  2. You need this http://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/745/745c.diff
    and don't use unix socket.

    If you have to use unix socket, read http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cannot-select-db-error?replies=11#post-12434

  3. Thank you so much for your response livibetter, but I'm not getting this at all. I'm not a programmer/coder by any stretch of the imagination. My abilities go no further than copy & pasting code.

    With regards to Unix sockets, I'm on a Dreamhost hosting package if that helps at all.

    Can you please tell me how the trac thing work?

    Thank you again.

  4. This has now been fixed. Again, thank you livibetter.

  5. Can someone actually explain what the solution was? I am getting the same error.

  6. Recent discussion indicates r971 could be a temporary good solution.
    Go to the bottom http://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk?rev=971
    Download the ZIP, and use it to upgrade

    I am not sure if it will touch you database or not, anyway backup is a good habit.

    Please tell us if this works or not.
