I'm having a hard time figuring out the bbpress install -- have failed and just pulled it all down again -- so, starting from the beginning: My WordPress blog is at www.intar.org/wp_01 -- where should I install the bbPress files? Also, should I have a directory called "forums," and if so, where should that go?

Thanks!

I have my wordpress install as the root of my website and then there is a folder beneath that for 'forums'.

So, my directory structure looks like this:

/var/www/wp-config.php
/var/www/forums/config.php

In the bbpress config.php I have these (relevant) lines:

$bb->path   = '/forums/';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.website.com';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.website.com';

For yours, since you have Wordpress at wp_01, you would have something like this:

/var/www/index.html <---- your website home, not WP home
/var/www/wp_01/wp-config.php
/var/www/wp_01/forums/config.php

your config.php:

$bb->path   = '/wp_01/forums/';
$bb->wp_home = 'http://www.intar.org/wp_01';
$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://www.intar.org/wp_01';
