Hi,

Inside /var/log/httpd/ i’ve been thru access_log and error_log, searched for my ip address but it was not inside any of the logs.

Is it possible that the script doesn’t triggers any error on the server ?

I really don’t understand what’s going on.

Here is the content of the access_log

88.255.202.40 – – [27/Nov/2009:13:14:57 +0100] “GET /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:) HTTP/1.1” 400 299 “-” “-“

Would that mean that i got an error 400(Bad Request The request contained a syntax error and was not understood.)

I have a root access to the dedicated server (running debian+plesk).

I’m not sure if you’re talking about this log ?

/var/log/httpd/error_log

Here is a copy of the last lines:

[Fri Nov 27 10:56:01 2009] [error] [client 11.255.202.40] client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:)

Thanks a lot for this super fast support !

I just tried again, i got the white screen when i click on “check for configuration file” button.

I’ve also tried to chmod 777 the config file, i still get the same results.

I tried to put wrong dbname, user, password within bb-config.php and i got an error message telling me that mysql info are not correct, therefore i assume that when i put the good credentials bbpress was able to connect to the mysql database.

I’ve also tried to delete the mysql db and recreate everything (new db, new user) and i still have the same error message. This is driving nuts

I have php 5.0.4 and mysql 4.1.20 so apparently this is not the reason why the installation is freezing.

Just to clarify i put the dbname/user/password when the installation process asked it to me. After that the installation process told me that it couldn’t create the bb-config.php file then i made a copy of the config file, then created manually the bb-config.php and pasted the content of bb-config-sample.php plus the credentials.

I’m really surprised because all i got is a complete white screen without any error message allowing me to troubleshoot this.

Thanks for your feedback.
