   hi,
   having some problems with installing:

   install.php gives me this warning:
   ...bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 61
   followed by this
   ...bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

   DB_HOST is not localhost, changed to db server mt info,
   apparently it won't support the db host name?

   It will support a host name, but are you trying to use a port or a socket? I use MySQL servers on different hosts all the time, but they are always on the default port of 3306.

   Can you post the BBDB_HOST line from your config.php?

   Also, you didn't post the actual warnings: what were those?

   DB_HOST is not the right constant, do you mean BBDB_HOST ?

   BBDB_HOST line in config.php:
   define('DB_HOST', $_ENV{DATABASE_SERVER});
