   Hi

   Interesting times. Made my first attempt at integrating bbPress.

   Installation went fine and I can login as Admin, my bbPress entry page comes up ok growthlounge.com/forum

   But the big problem is when I come to click on anything. It is the same outcome every time - a grey screen with nothing on.

   This happened both when I attempted to integrate with WordPress, but also when I completely reinstalled without any attempt to integrate.

   Here are some of the particulars:
   define('BBDB_NAME', 'wordpressgl'); // The name of the database
   define('BBDB_USER', 'wordpressgl'); // Your MySQL username
   define('BBDB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxx'); // ...and password
   define('BBDB_HOST', 'mysql.growthlounge.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

   $bb->domain = 'http://growthlounge.com';
   $bb->path = '/forum/';
   $bb->mod_rewrite = true;

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

   WordPress is installed at http://growthlounge.com
   Wordpress blog is setup to operate from http://growthlounge.com/blog/

   However, the problem shouldn't be WordPress integration, as I've made no attempt to do this the 2nd time round.

   Any ideas guys? No problems during installation but a completely unfunctioning site....

   Cheers
   Max

   MODS! Please erase this man's database username and password! Max, it will be erased by a mod, but it probably shouldn't post the actual database, username and password in the forum!

   Maybe try changing:

   $bb->mod_rewrite = true;

   to

   $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

   That will find out if it is just a 'fancy URL' problem.

   I blanked out my password ;), probably should have done the same with username too. Thanks anyway.

   And changing the mod_rewrite sorted the problem, cheers! Should have checked that in the first place...
