Re: upgrade error
Looks like that comes from bb-settings.php (line 156 in 0.9.0.1):
// Die if no URI
if ( !$bb->uri && ( !defined('BB_INSTALLING') || !BB_INSTALLING ) ) {
bb_die( __('Could not determine site URI') );
}
I think that says “If there is no $bb->uri defined AND you’re not installing, then die with this message.”
So, in your bb-config.php, what do you have defined for $bb->uri?
