Sorry, that category setting is not present in 0.9.0.2. My mistake. I missed the version in your first post.
Nekita – the reason that works is because it’s not including the wp-blog-header.php (can’t find it), but it doesn’t error out because you’re saying “if it’s there, then include it”: otherwise, just continue on, but it’s not included.
So, it errors out when you don’t have the conditional, but with the conditional there, do you have access to WordPress functions, or you can just access specific theme files? Accessing the theme files would not require integration. But using the functions like get_header, get_sidebar, get_footer would all rely on integration being correct.
This assumes that the errors are the same as doyle640:
PHP Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]:
Failed opening required '../wp-config.php'
What plugins are you using? Are you using any that would restrict access to certain forums? Like the hidden forums or private forums plugins?
You didn’t make all your forums categories in the admin, did you?
Also, this error is shown when accessing the forum:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bb_privatemessages WHERE seen = 0 AND id_receiver =
Is the wp-config.php actually located at ../ ?
Also, you could try the absolute path rather than a relative one. I have heard before that that might be a problem (although I’ve never seen that. I don’t use MAMP though.)
First verify if the wp-config.php is located ../ from bb-config.php. If it is, try the full absolute path rather than a relative one. Something like /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wp-config.php.
Why did you put bbPress into the wp-plugins folder? It’s not a WordPress plugin.

Yes. bbPress 0.9.0.2 and WordPress 2.6.* are not cookie-compatible.

I can’t speak for the developers or HowToGeek, but I think the best place to get help with something is from someone who has done it.
In any case, glad you solved your issue.
If the browser is blank when you load a page, it’s probably due to a 500 error. Do you have access to error logs to see what’s causing that error? I have not hear of that before when including WordPress in bbPress.
To use the WordPress functions get_sidebar and get_header, you need to include WordPress inside bbPress:

You need to log in on the front page of your forum, as keymaster, and then next to your name, after you log in, will be a link to admin. Click that, and you’re in. If logging in does not show the admin link, then the user you are logged in as is not the keymaster.
Do not try to access the bb-admin/index.php directly. It doesn’t work like WordPress.
It’s not accepted yet, but it’s also only a week old. I suspect if you watch the bug you will see the progress towards fixing it.
It’s weird. I had that exact thing happen to me on an alpha install, not integrated, and I thought I was going crazy seeing things. Maybe not. For me, I just restarted the browser or used another browser and registration went through fine. I have no idea what it is; it’s an esoteric bug for sure.

This happened to me once before. I thought I was seeing things. In my case, it was cookies or something because when I restarted the browser and tried again, it worked fine. Can you recreate the problem in another browser?
So you have bbPress alpha in its own database, and there is just one table, the users table, or all the other tables are there as well?
Is this integrated with anything, or just a standalone bbPress installation?
Also, why are you loading bb-load.php into WordPress? Do you need to use bbPress functions inside WordPress?
To me this sounds like you are way off on the wrong track. I’ve never heard of anything like this before. I use a static front page for WordPress and have never had this problem.
Did you install bbpress and wordpress into separate folders? Is bbPress in a subfolder of WordPress?
Did you create an .htaccess for bbPress and are you using permalinks?
Is this relevant at all?

Not trying to distract you from the work you’re doing, but I’ve never heard of anyone going off in that direction before for a problem like this.
Are you sure you have the database table prefix correct, and you’re looking in the correct table for the new user?
It’s not available AFAIK. I was trying to search the forums here for the last time it was discussed but I can’t find it. It was a custom theme they had done by Happy Cog, I think.

Same database or same tables within the database? Same database, sure, just use a different table prefix, like bbalpha_ or something.
For the same tables, I would need to look at the schema changes between 0.9 and 1.0, but I *believe* there are changes, which means it would not work to use the same exact tables.
edit: _ck_ beat me to it 
The integration won’t work with those versions, as you know.
For the refresh thing, that’s what you posted about initially. Can you post the link to your forum?
Does any of this help?

What version of bbPress and WordPress did you integrate? There are cookie incompatibilities between some versions of bbPress and WordPress.
