bbPress on localhost

    • Posted 4 years ago #

    I've tried installing it on xampp and wamp and I get the same warnings. When I go ahead and install with the warnings I can't log in. I don't get why it is reading ODBC@localhost instead of the DB name I provided which is bbp1. I'm 99.9% sure I set up config correctly, but just in case I didn't here it is:

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('BBDB_NAME', 'bbp1'); // The name of the database
    define('BBDB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
    define('BBDB_PASSWORD', ''); // ...and password
    define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change these last few

    define('BBDB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); // If you are *upgrading*, and your old config.php does
    define('BBDB_COLLATE', ''); // not have these two contstants in them, DO NOT define them
    // If you are installing for the first time, leave them here

    // Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.
    $bb_table_prefix = 'bb_'; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

    // The full URL of your bbPress install
    $bb->uri = 'http://localhost/bbpress';

    // What are you going to call me?
    $bb->name = 'bbpress';

    // This must be set before you run the install script.
    $bb->admin_email = 'blah@blah.com;

    I think you were bitten by an error that has been fixed in the latest trac release, but still exists in the production release. Take a look through the threads tagged 745:
    http://bbpress.org/forums/tags/745

    745 is the trac ticket where this was discussed. There are lots of workarounds listed in the forums and on trac.

    Good luck.

    Better to use the latest version from trunk than those diff files if possible.
