Installation to sub domain Error 400

   I get 400 error - bad request when trying to run the bb-admin/install script.

   I am installing on http://subdomain.domain.com
   Host is ASO
   Check database username :pass 10 times.
   No trailing / at end of http://subdomain.domain.com in config.php
   I have tried "/" and /forum/ in config file
   I am probably doing something stupid
   Any clues?

   I had no problems with the same configuration (host site5).

   Is your config file located in the subdomain directory?

   What is the url you're tring to install it to?

   http://subdomain.domain.com/forums/ ?

   If that's the case, you need to install bbPress in the directory on your server that that url points to. You config should then look like:

   $bb->domain = 'http://subdomain.domain.com';
$bb->path = '/forums/';

   OK - This is what I did at the beginning.

   ASO has cpanel.

   I went to cpanel and created "subdomain" called "forum"
   When you do this cpanel automatically creates a directory "forum"
   I uploaded BBpress to this directory.
   I created a database in cpanel and completed the fields in config.php
   I tried $bb->domain = 'http://forum.domain.com';
   $bb->path = '/forums/'; plus a lot of others.

   Does not work.

   So,

   I went to a current subdomain I have http://test.domain.com and in cpanel physically created a directory /forum/.
   I populated config.php with the data and it WORKS! (looks good by the way!!).

   The only thing is that my forum is at

   test.domain.com/forum/

   I cannot get it to the root at

   test.domain.com

   (by the way when I install WP to testexample.domain.com it works first time every time and I do not have to install it to, and call it from testexample.domain.com/wpdirectory/

   Sorry for the long post and hope it is clear...

   What am I missing here?

   The path is for the URL.

   So if forums.example.com is public_html/forums/ on your server, you still just want / to be your path because when you load it in a browser it's: http://forums.example.com/.

   Soooo. It works!

   As usual it was the unexpected simple thing. My domain is at one host and the subdomain is at another. The A record was not propogating correctly. I fixed this and the install worked first time.

   Thanks for taking the time to help.
