bbPress support forums » Troubleshooting

   I'm able to successfully install the bbpress. I'm installing it in a subdirectory of my PUBLIC_HTML
   directory. So I have:
   public_html/bbpress
   public_html/wp-content
   public_html/wp-admin
   etc.
   I run domain.com/bbpress/bb-admin/install.php
   Everything seems okay. Then I log in at domain.com/forums and bam!... nothing but Error 404 - Not Found.
   I find it strange after I login I'm directed right to my Wordpress template with the 404 error. Initially I tried integrating with Wordpress, but now I'm trying to get this running very simply: no mod_rewrite, no integration, disabled any plugins that might be interfering (home page control), etc.
   I uninstalled (dropped all bb_ tables) and reinstalled several times but same result.
   Any advice?

   I think we can get this going. Post the content of your config.php (without username and password for database XXX them out). We should be able to help.

   Thanks, I was just about to give up.

   <?php

   // ** MySQL settings ** //
   define('BBDB_NAME', '#####'); // 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://ward3brighton.ca'; // 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 = '/forums/'; // Example: '/forums/'

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

   // This must be set before running the install script.
   $bb->admin_email = '######@ward3brighton.ca';

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

   // The number of topics that show on each page.
   $bb->page_topics = 20;

   // A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.
   $bb->edit_lock = 30;

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

   /* Stop editing */

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

   ?>

   Your forum is at http://ward3brighton.ca/bbpress/ not http://ward3brighton.ca/forums/ . It's unstyled since the path is wrong. It seems to me that you changed the config.php to put the forum in a directory called forums but left the folder name as bbpress when you unzipped it.

   Can you check that and rename the bbpress folder to forums?

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

   I am also assuming that you don't want to integrate the logins with WP then as you don't have your wordpress information for integration.

   It's all good. I should have caught the problem myself.
   Thanks for your help.
