Key Master could not be created!

  1. I seem to have made a terrible booboo. I installed a clean wordpress mu 2.84a and than tried to install bbpress 1.0.2 with integration... I went to the last step and entered the same admin password for wordpress mu and I got Key Master could not be created! At this point it was completed but I went back to try to correct with a proper forum account and I get the "bbpress already installed " message...

    Anyone know a simple fix besides reinstalling bbpress?

  2. I made the same mistake. It would be a great idea to indicate "You must choose a NEW admin, that doen't exist yet" at this point of the installation.

    I fixed it by reinstalling bbpress but I needed to clean the database first :
    - I removed the bb-config.php file
    - I looked into the database (using the hosting service tools) and removed all the tables starting with bb_
    - then I started back the installation.

    I guess you can do it another way, without reinstalling : the problem is that you have bbpress installed without any administrator. You can define one manually in the database (using the hosting service tools) :
    - the table wp_users contains the users (I integrated bbp and wp, else I suppose there should be a bb_users, but then we shouldn't have this error...)
    have a look at it and remember the ID of the user you want to put keymaster (for me, it's 1)
    - the table wp_usermeta contains some values about the users.
    add a new line containing :
    * umeta_id : a non-used umeta_id
    * user_id : the ID of the user (1 for me)
    * meta_key : bb_capabilities
    * meta_value : a:1:{s:9:"keymaster";b:1;} (I don't know what it means)
    - then try to connect to your forum and look if you can administrate it !
    Can someone says if it works ?

  3. Oh My! Thanks mazzhe! you saved my day! :)
