In reply to: error after new post (all of a sudden)
Hey, I thought you said you “disabled plugins and Akismet, and the problem didn’t go away.” Maybe you didn’t disable this Email Notifications one?
Glad you solved it, in any case.
In reply to: error after new post (all of a sudden)How about configuring custom logging temporarily, just to be sure you are seeing the logged errors?

I think the delay in posting is not due to server load but due to this 500 error. It’s thinking about something then it fails.
If the script had a syntax error, I would think it would fail more quickly. You can check all your php scripts for syntax errors if you have command line access if you do something like this:
shell# find . -name "*.php" -print| xargs -n1 php -l(that’s “dash n one” and “php dash el”, lowercase L)
Looks like you’re on CentOS so that should work OK.
In reply to: Reply BugThat’s pretty interesting. Not sure why it’s not working but I think you can cause a different problem by turning off CheckSpelling in you .htaccess file. That will cause it to fail outright, I think, rather than trying to find you a similarly named file. Put this at the top of a file called .htaccess in your forum root folder:
CheckSpelling Off(not sure if the off needs to be capitalized or not.)See what errors you get after that. Worth a shot anyway.
In reply to: error after new post (all of a sudden)I made two test posts. The both resulted in 500 errors, but they also both appeared to go through. They also took a really really long time, like something is going on in the back end. Are you sure the PHP errors are being logged? A 500 error should go *somewhere*.
In reply to: error after new post (all of a sudden)Is it a mod_rewrite issue causing the problem? If you turn off permalinks and try it, does it work differently?
In reply to: Can’t get bbpress to installI can help if you contact me off list. Find contact details on the site linked to my profile.
In reply to: Can’t get bbpress to installSounds like something is wrong with the database tables. It’s trying to reuse tables that are there but there is some sort of problem. Can you drop those tables (if there is no content there) and then start the installation again?
In the database, the value is stored in the
bb_topicmetatable. A record that has ameta_keyofuriholds the value, I think. That is record #3 in my fresh installation. It might be different in yours. Just find the key of uri and the value is the one you want, I think.In reply to: Can’t get bbpress to installWhich hosting account do you have from Doteasy? The free one does not have PHP and MySQL, I don’t think. Their Ultra and above accounts do. It appears you have a Linux hosting account with them, which is good.
bbPress has fairly minimal requirements from a host:
* PHP 4.3 or greater
* MySQL 4.0 or greater
I can’t imagine a Linux hosting account that doesn’t meet those requirements. So what exactly does Doteasy mean by “incompatible”? I think you need to talk to them more.
Also, what happens if you just go and finish the installation? Does it work, or error out?
One last thing: do you have access to webserver logs to see what that Internal Server Error is? That might be key.
In reply to: What is the default password for the admin?Are you talking about bbPress or megabb? For bbPress, the keymaster (admin) password is randomly generated and displayed in the last step of the installation. It is also emailed to the email address you entered when configuring the installation.
In any case, if you have direct access to your database, you can insert a password hash for a known password value, then log in using that password for the admin account. I think that’s your best bet if you don’t know the admin password.
For bbPress anyway. I had not heard of megabb until today.
In reply to: upgrade errorYou’re absolutely right. Sorry about that. This is how it was done before the 0.9 release. Now it looks like that option was moved into the database. In the database in the
bb_topicmetatable, there is an entry with ameta_keyofurithat holds this value. I think that means it was entered when you went through the installation, and gets inserted into the database. I just tried another installation with 0.9.0.2 and that value is prefilled in the form.Site address (URL):
We have attempted to guess this, it's usually correct, but change it here if you wish.The correct URL was prefilled here. When I clear it out and submit, I get the following error:
Site address (URL): • This value is required to continue.So, for some reason, it looks like this error check did not work for you, or the value that was inserted into the database is not valid. Can you use a tool like phpMyAdmin to look at the database and see if you have a bb_topicmeta table, with a record that has a meta_key of
uriand see that the value is? The record is meta_id 3 in my installation.If you can’t do that, can you reinstall if you have not used the forum yet?
Also, I see you’re on IIS. I wonder if there are any differences with hosting there from what I am used to, which is Linux and Apache.
In reply to: upgrade errorLooks 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?
That is telling you the database connection details are incorrect. You need to check all four of them again. It’s possible you need to specify a host name in place of localhost (the thing they say there is a 99% chance you won’t need to change.) Since my database is on a different server, I need to change that 100% of the time.
Only you will be able to verify that your connection details are correct. Right now, they are not and that’s what the message is telling you.
In reply to: Registration Email not being sentWhat exactly is happening? Your registration emails with the password are not being emailed? Do you know if you can send email from the server in any other applications?
In reply to: pretty permalink type change gives me a 404 errorYou’re stuck with the default of ‘none’ if your server doesn’t support mod_rewrite or Options +MultiViews. You can read about setting up permalinks here if your server supports either of those.
Setting up permalinks on bbPress is not as straightforward as it is on WordPress, but they’re working on it.
MarcoZ: that is perfectly fine as you are describing it. WordPress in the root of the domain, bbPress in a folder. You do create a directory called forum and copy the files there.
If you are not including WordPress in your bbPress, then you won’t need this plugin to correct the WordPress 404 errors:
Try your installation without that plugin first.
In reply to: Where can I find text “New Topic in this Forum”?Line 137 of /bb-includes/template-functions.php is where that’s defined. I don’t know if there is a way to override that with a plugin or not, but that’s where you will find the text.

In reply to: How to Add custom Nav Bar to Theme?You can touch whatever you want. In your theme you have access to all the php files. Find the page that controls the look of the page you want to modify and add your nav bar there.
In reply to: IE 6 breaking tables.It looks to me like the #wrapper div doesn’t actually wrap the whole layout. That is the div that needs to have white as a background color, but all the other divs are not inside it. I think your best bet is to wait for the theme update from the theme author.
In reply to: IE 6 breaking tables.I see the difference now. Exactly how do you want it? Where do you want the white and where do you want the background pattern? It’s just a matter of adjusting the CSS. I can hardly tell the difference on this monitor so I can’t see the white vs. pattern thing sometimes.
In reply to: I Can’t see the Extend Plugins?This happened not too long ago as well (can’t find the post right now), I suspect they’re working on something. I noticed the forum CSS here is different today as well. I’m sure it will be fixed shortly.
I think for integration you want to have the database information correct on installation. I think I would start over if you can afford to. There is a reason the database information didn’t work. I would probably figure out why that is before trying an integrated installation again.
I could not log in with IE6 or IE7. Not sure why.
With FF 2.0.0.13, I see the difference. Seems like a template problem, stuff is just in the wrong place. I think the theme author mentioned in another thread that a new release was coming. I suspect this will be fixed in that release.
In reply to: IE 6 breaking tables.So, when you float the discussions div over to the right, the white background is missing in FF? That’s fine, then there is a SEPARATE fix for the white background. There are two things to change in the stylesheet. This is what it should look like to have a white background and be floated properly in IE:
#front-page #discussions {
float: right;
background: #FFFFFF;
width: 590px;
}And the theme author, refueled, suggested also
overflow: hidden;but I didn’t try or verify that. I just did what is posted in this reply, floating it to the right for IE, then applying a background color of white to the whole div.In reply to: Error when deleting entire topic…Sounds like the collation on some tables or fields in the database don’t match some others. I think they should all be the same. If you log in with phpMyAdmin, you should be able to check what the database collation is, then make all the tables and fields the same.
This is only a guess though, but if it were my forum and my error, that’s what I would do.
