Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_install_header()

    • Posted 5 years ago #

    Are you supposed to install bbPress with the same or different Database information as WordPress?
    I want to integrate the two, so I used the same database information as wordpress.

    When I try to run the install, I get this error:
    "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bb_install_header() in /home/turner/public_html/forums/bb-admin/install.php on line 11"

    Any ideas?

    This is what the config file looks like:

    <?php

    // ** MySQL settings ** //
    define('BBDB_NAME', 'turner_wrdp3'); // The name of the database
    define('BBDB_USER', '***********'); // Your MySQL username
    define('BBDB_PASSWORD', '*****************'); // ...and password
    define('BBDB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

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

    // If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.
    // Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.
    // Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.
    $bb->domain = 'http://forums.ppacp.org'; // Example: 'http://bbpress.example.com'
    // There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. '/' is fine if the site is in root.
    $bb->path = '/'; // Example: '/forums/'

    // What are you going to call me?
    $bb->name = 'Professional Photographers Againsts Copying Photographs';

    // This must be set before running the install script.
    $bb->admin_email = '*********@ppacp.org';

    // Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.
    $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

    // The number of topics that show on each page.
    $bb->page_topics = 30;

    // A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.
    $bb->edit_lock = 60;

    // Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.
    $bb->gmt_offset = -4;

    // Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.
    // For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to 'de'
    // to enable German language support.
    define('BBLANG', '');

    // Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage
    // of Akismet's powerful spam blocking, you'll need one. You can get an Akismet key at
    // http://wordpress.com/api-keys/
    $bb->akismet_key = '*************'; // Example: '0123456789ab'

    // The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.
    // If you're not, just leave the rest as it is.

    $bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_'; // WordPress table prefix. Example: 'wp_';
    $bb->wp_home = 'http://ppacp.org'; // WordPress - Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'
    $bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://ppacp.org'; // WordPress - Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: 'http://example.com'

    /* Stop editing */

    if ( !defined('BBPATH') )
    define('BBPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/' );
    require_once( BBPATH . 'bb-settings.php' );

    ?>

    I figured it out.

    I must have been missing some required hidden files. I deleted all my files from the server and then reuploaded them using my Windows machine,. Now it works like it should..

    Thank you!
