WordPress/Buddypress cannot find my bb-config.php file
-
I installed BuddyPress and had it all working fine, no 404 errors or anything. So once I figured I had it working I installed bbPress. I chose to have it integated with my WordPress/BuddyPress site. I filled out the 3 step form and was under the impression that everything went well. Is there anywhere that I can find a fix or suggestions how to fix.
Also, I can see the new forum outside my wordpress site but even though I can see the page and can see that I am logged in, I cannot adjust settings because I can see no Admin area.

This is bbPress forum, not BuddyPress. Try asking here: http://buddypress.org/community/activity/

My mistake, I didn't communicate my issue properly. Guess it was lack of sleep. This is a bbPress/WordPress/BuddyPress issue and I am hoping somebody out there knows what I'm doing wrong.
If I could delete this post I would to start over.
I installed bbPress into WordPress/BuddyPress site. Following the bbPress installation instructions, I uploaded bbPress into a folder and renamed it "forum."
I pointed my browser to the install page and filled out the three step form and all seemed to go well. I got an email from the bbPress installer stating that my installation was successful.

This is my issue:
In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the "Forum Setup" option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled "Use an existing bbPress installation" I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:
"The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again."
I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.
I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the ".www" in the path.
I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.
Anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks.

Yeah you're best place to get support would be BuddyPress, while it'll integrate with bbPress, I believe they do some cool stuff with code to make it possible, you'll also get a much quicker response! :)

Hey pcgs51,
Having a similar issue, I installed Buddypress and opted for forum integration with bbpress but also askes for bb config file path which I haven't got? any clues? Thanks

BuddyPress is not compatible with the bbPress plugin yet. (You can BuddyPress and bbPress perfectly alongside eachother though, just disable the forum components of BuddyPress).
A new version of BuddyPress is coming out soon (JJJ said so, that's why they're working on buddypress.org this week) and I think that one will be compatible with the plugin.

Ok I see, just read something which solved my problem..
"BuddyPress allows you to install a forked version of bbPress. It is not the same as this bbPress."
I was getting stumped on the fact the integrated version didnt have admin menus like the standalone bbpress does..
