    Can you post your code and a link to your site (post the code at pastie.org or equivalent, since it will be munged here)? There are probably many people who could benefit from your solution. Thanks

    I think _ck_’s method, which does not require integration, seems pretty clean. You can get just the information you want without a lot of overhead.

    It looks like your server software is “Server: YTS/1.17.13”, which is “Yahoo Traffic Server” and my experience is that it does not support .htaccess or permalinks. Your options are to live without permalinks or get a new hosting company.

    If anyone else has information to the contrary, please post it.

    Depends on how damaged things are and how much was lost. Do you have any backups from before the problem occurred? If so, you can just restore to that earlier time, losing everything created after that point. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what might not have been written to MySQL.

    There are binary logs for MySQL as well, where you can sometimes replay the SQL to recreate the things that failed, but it’s tedious.

    What version of bbPress and WordPress are you using, and where did you download bbPress Live (what version is that)?

    wtfmatt, I deleted your reply. I suggest you take your criticism to Matt directly.

    Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_e93_0.MYI’ (Errcode: 22)

    That is a problem with MySQL. That is something your host needs to address. MySQL cannot write to that MYI file on the /tmp partition for some reason. This is something they need to resolve.

    I’m afraid your problems are larger than bbPress. The trouble with bbPress and your earlier loss of categories and the plugin problem in WordPress are all symptoms of a larger problem and something your host needs to resolve.

    Are you on a Windows host? I can’t find reference to it on Linux at all. It could be something as simple as out of space on the device, but it’s something for the host to resolve.

    Friday 9th July:

    ==================

    matt states that bbPress has been upgraded to latest trunk version

    Where did that come from? I didn’t see that posted online.

    The code running here is certainly not updated to the latest trunk. From the source of the page:

    [meta name="generator" content="bbPress 1.1-alpha-2453" /]

    When it’s updated, the BackPress fix will be in.

    Sorry, very latest trunk is r2461. mdawaffe checked in a few revisions, probably after updating the wordpress.org support forums.

    The last svn log is for r2460, but when I checked out the latest, it says revision r2461. But there is no log entry for r2461.

    I’m glad they’re using it at the wordpress.org forums. With many users the problems will become apparent and will have resources devoted to fixing them.

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    Where did Matt say he fixed the code/encoding issue?

    We are still running r2453 here, not the latest version r2458. The BackPress fix didn’t happen until BackPress r312 on Jul 1 2010 by Westi. When the code is updated here the problem will be fixed. If you check out a new revision, the problem will be fixed in your installation.

    Here is an example forum using r2458 with the BackPress fix and you can see that the code is formatted properly.

    I would not try and reinstall – just try to figure out what went wrong and fix it. It will result in less work in the end, and may help someone else depending on what you find.

    bbPress will not update anything on its own. WordPress won’t either (although WordPress will tell you about available upgrades.)

    I think you should explain the weird issues you had and how your host fixed them. Seems likely that that’s related. Either the host did something, or you did something. Nothing happens by itself.

    You can always log in to your host with FTP and get a directory listing of running plugins in the my-plugins directory.

    Crossed posts – you edited yours after I posted mine.

    To have different counts for different things, you need a plugin.

    I think this will work:

    To check out via subversion:

    svn co http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ ./testdirectory

    @chrishajer

    Participant

    I think the best thing to do in your case would be a test installation of the latest trunk release of bbPress (not the packaged 1.0.2 release.) There’s no way to know if all that is going to work on the latest version of bbPress, but I suspect most of it will.

    I would copy over your database, then install bbPress with subversion. Then copy over your template and plugins. Then test. If it all works, then go ahead and upgrade your 1.0.1 installation.

    Regarding when bbPress becomes a WordPress plugin, it doesn’t really matter. Use what works for you (right now, that’s a standalone installation, as you have here.) That code you have installed is never going away. If a time comes in the future where you can move to bbPress as a WordPress plugin, then go ahead and do it. But use what works for now and don’t wait for any version coming in the future.

    Something is still weird with the permissions:

    http://pastorbob.limewebs.com/my-templates/

    I get a permissions error there. I should be able to get a directory listing or a “denied” error if directory listings are turned off (and they should be.) Or, if it was the wrong location altogether, it would give a 404 error.

    So, I would make sure you don’t have multiple installations and you’re looking in the wrong place, and then make doubly sure the permissions on my-templates, my-plugins, and any folder inside those directories are 755.

    Screenshots or directory listings showing ownership and permissions are helpful in troubleshooting this.

    Can you post a link to your site please?

    Also, if you turn off permalinks, does your bbPress installation work?

    There was this plugin as well, but for earlier bbPress versions:

    The release packages are not built automatically at all. They should include the old version of the externals.
