Problem?

    • Posted 5 years ago #

    Hi, I seem to be having a problem. I am in the odd position of running textpattern for my main site, 2 WPMU's in 2 different directories and BBPress in another directory which may have something to do with it, so just in case I thought I'd throw that out there first. I just ran my ftp client and uploaded for the new WPMU, txp and bbpress. Everything went stellar with WPMU & TXP and I thought everything went well with BBPress. No such luck. Going to the url (http://alessandrapalmer.org/forum/) turned up this:

    Warning: main(/home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 56

    Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/aless/public_html/forum/bb-settings.php on line 56

    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Sounds like your path is wrong in config.php maybe. Can you describe your directory structure, and then what does this line in your config.php say?

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

    It should have the preceeding and following slash there.

    Hi.

    I put the preceeding and following slash in per your suggestion and it's still spitting out the same errors.

    Please forgive my ignorance, but what would you like to know about my directory structure? I'm not exactly website-savvy and have been rather blessed in that most things have worked for me first go.

    Sorry, I just meant, where are the forum, WPMU and TXP all installed?

    Is it like?
    /home/aless/public_html/forum/ for bbPress
    /home/aless/public_html/txp/ for TXP
    /home/aless/public_html/wpmu/ for WPMU

    Can you verify that all the files made it up when you uploaded them? Like, when you FTP in, can you get a listing in the forum folder that looks like:

    bb-admin
    bb-cache
    bb-edit.php
    bb-images
    bb-includes
    bb-load.php
    bb-login.php
    bb-post.php
    bb-reset-password.php
    bb-settings.php
    bb-templates
    config.php
    edit.php
    favorites.php
    forum.php
    index.php
    my-plugins
    my-templates
    profile-base.php
    profile-edit.php
    profile.php
    register.php
    rss.php
    search.php
    sitemap.bb.xml
    statistics.php
    tag-add.php
    tag-remove.php
    tags.php
    topic-resolve.php
    topic.php
    view.php

    Maybe something is missing there? (you might not have my-templates or my-plugins - those were created later)

    Does the bb-includes directory have permissions of 0755 or
    drwxr-xr-x ?

    /home/aless/public_html/forum/ --> bbpress
    /home/aless/public_html/blogs/ --> WPMU
    /home/aless/public_html/projects/ --> WPMU
    /home/aless/public_html/ --> TXP

    Okay, so missing files was the program, go figure. Now I have a totally different problem. Now, everytime I click on something in BBPress (i.e. go to create a new topic) it brings up a TXP error page. I can get to the screen where I can write my title and the body of the message but when I go to add it, it brings up the TXP error page. I'm not entirely sure what to do. Thanks. :)

    That's good you figured out the missing files part. If you are getting the TXP error page, chances are more files are missing, and it's creating a 404 (page not found) error that TXP handles. Do you need more help with that?

    • Posted 5 years ago #

    Yes I do need more help.

    I compared the list in the zip file to the list you provided me with to the list of files that I uploaded this morning and everything seems to be good in that regard.

    If you download bbPress again and unzip it locally, you can compare the directory structure. Above, I listed the top level directory only, but there are folders with more files in them. I suspect your folders and files did not make it up intact. I would list all the files from my install, but it's a pretty long list and would be a mess to display. If you download bbPress again just to compare listings, I think you will see the problem.

    http://bbpress.org/download/

    Basically, it's the files within the subfolders that are missing (I think).
