   Inside the folder that as WordPress, put a folder with all the bbPress files in it. So maybe you have this:
   /public/html/wordpress/

   add a new folder:
   /public/html/wordpress/forum/ (or forums or discussion or bbpress)

   then access your new installation at http://www.example.com/forum (or whatever you selected) assuming WordPress is accessible at http://www.example.com/

   Thank you very much for your support...I got some help from my hosting site to create a database like the installer requested...but the one he created is not directly in my wordpress file...can you show me an example of what a WP site with the forum install looks like so I can see what I am working towards...Give me a URL if you don't mind...Thank you again...Kenney

   They don't look any different than a WordPress installation, and then a bbPress forum at a different URL. Here's what it looks like if you don't do any sort of integration:

   bbPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/
   WordPress: http://www.riversideinfo.org/

   WordPress is in the html root, and then in that folder is a forum folder, which is why bbPress is accessible at http://www.riversideinfo.org/forum/
