bbPress support forums » Installation

   Hello,
   I'm trying to install bbPress on an IIS 6 server.
   The installation script appears to have completed successfully and can be viewed at the following URL:

   http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums

   Unfortunately, there appear to be a few problems with the installation as follows:

   1) When clicking on "Your first topic" in Firefox, I receive the following error:

   "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete"

   Browsing the link in IE 7 just appears to hang the browser

   2) The admin home page appears to work, but n closer inspection the shortcuts "Dashboard, Users, Content and Site Management" all have incorrect paths:

   "http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/forums/bb-admin/index.php"

   instead of

   http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums/bb-admin/index.php

   I think my config.php is ok:

   $bb->domain = 'http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal';

   $bb->path = '/forums/';

   $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

   Does anybody have any ideas that may help me (other than move the forum to Apache that is!).

   TIA

   Dave

   oh, i got it,
   "WHAT IS move the forum to apache?", hehehe!, jeopardy joke!

   Problem #1)
   Your redicection problem. It seems that your page "A" is directing to page "B" which is directing BACK to page "A". So your stuck in a loop. Firefox is smart enough to recognize this. IE is'nt (surprize surprize). Spend a bit more time on it, and keep that in mind. However, the solution to your second problem may solve the first one.

   Problem #2)
   Okay, instead of
   $bb->domain = 'http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal';
   $bb->path = '/forums/';

   try
   $bb->domain = 'http://www.med.cam.ac.uk';
   $bb->path = '/confocal/forums/';

   Hope that works,
