You need to create a database first, then supply that database name to the installer. In addition, you will need a database user, password and maybe host name.

This information comes from the company that hosts your website. If they allow you to set up a database, somewhere on that page or near that page will show the database name, user name, password and maybe host.

You probably need to do this, but first you need to get the host name from your website host.

I am going to guess this is because you have not entered all the proper information, or you entered incorrect information. Your host may have to help you with some of these details.
> Is it terrible to install it?
No, not once you have all the correct details. If you can’t tell bbPress how to connect to your database, you’re going to be stuck right there until you get some help.
In reply to: Install help1. No you do not need WordPress
2. You might. If you want to change the table prefix from bb_ or you need to tell the software that your database lives on a host different than localhost, then YES, you need to Show Advanced Settings. I think the host name is probably most likely.
In reply to: how to configure bbPress to send registration email?In reply to: how to configure bbPress to send registration email?It should not require any configuration. Is it just not sending email from your server?
With thousands of posts in your forum, is this just spam or do you really have a problem with registration emails being sent?
In reply to: I can’t activate plug-insDid you try activating anything other than Akismet?
In reply to: Hundreds of subforumsWhere did the automatic part come from?
I imagine you could create a script to create a forum automatically when there is a new movie posted, but this is not something that is built in to bbPress? This would be some custom stuff you’d need to do. It would be pretty neat.
For the older versions of bbPress, there was bbSync https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbsync/ which would create a new topic in the forum for every WordPress post (I believe that’s how it worked.) You could do something similar (but create new forums for every new movie.
In reply to: Installation appears stuck at first step> 1. Can I create a database by myself?
Yes, you need to actually.

Yes.
> 3. To change the name of bb-config-sample.php into bb-config.php .
Yes.
> 4. Does it get more problems in future when I do above steps?
No.
> 5. Can I use localhost in host name?

I think so. I thought sometimes you need to do localhost.localdomain but I can’t recall when that was the case.
If you are going to copy over the bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php, you need to insert the proper values in the file. Otherwise, the config file is invalid, as it’s telling you right here.
In reply to: BBPress Widget NOT for WP?Sam, I think they mentioned “NOT for WP”.
In reply to: SECRET_KEY Flaw in Latest InstallerTo integrate 0.9.* with WordPress 2.5 and later, you should read this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wordpress-and-bbpress-integration-101#post-17409
That post has a lot of good information. I agree the documentation needs to be better.
In reply to: Can’t Edit the Keymaster’s profile?I think you need someone locally to help you with this. Trying to do this in a forum is just a sure way of leading you down the wrong path and doing something wrong. Do you have anyone who’s good with phpMyAdmin that you trust to take a look at this?
In reply to: How to display a post form on every topic page?I would never recommend modifying a core file – it makes upgrades too cumbersome. I believe what I was suggesting is possible in the template files. I just haven’t looked into it to verify if I’m right. Just a guess.
In reply to: How to display a post form on every topic page?You could probably show the form instead of the Reply ». It’s not that nobody knows how, it’s just that there hasn’t been a big demand for it. The last time the discussion came up, the argument was “why would you want to make it easier to be able to post from the middle of the topic without reading the whole thing?” It can be done now, but it’s not super obvious. The link is there.
Now, if you want the form there, I suspect you can find the function that displays “Reply »” and just use that to show the form there instead.
In reply to: BBPress Widget NOT for WP?You could use something like this to show bbPress information in any site:
It’s not as easy as a widget, but it can be done.
In reply to: Why Was I Bozoed?TechnoKelvin: also, you could try using example.com instead of your real URL, unless you need someone to see your site, then just use the actual site URL once. I wonder if akismet is smart enough to not mark as spam posts with example.com in them 10 times? Worth a shot…
In reply to: Why Was I Bozoed?I’m with _ck_ – I just disable akismet and the bozo thing. I dont trust either of them for bbPress (Bad Behaviour either, for that matter.)
Regarding letting the user know: I don’t really have an opinion on it. I am sort of used to the way WordPress commenting works: if the blog moderates comments, then your comment is shown if you still have the cookies, but it normally says “waiting for moderation” or something. It’s not visible if the blog doesn’t know it’s you coming back (or to other visitors). I never expected a site to tell me that my comment was marked as spam, and I guess I don’t expect bbPress to do that either.
In reply to: Hundreds of subforumsYes it’s possible to have hundreds of subforums.
Working with your existing user accounts is something you will need to work out. It’s been done before though, just depends on how you keep your user information.
In reply to: I can’t find where to edit rolesI can’t understand why you would want an anonymous user to enter a username and password (wouldn’t they just register?) If you’re concerned with registration and login and missing emails, you could always just display the password immediately, or let them choose the password.
In reply to: How to display a post form on every topic page?I don’t know HOW to do it, but I know we’ve talked about it before:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/reply-post-form-only-shows-up-at-the-last-page#post-22820
In reply to: Why Was I Bozoed?I am going to guess it’s because of the number of times you put your URL in the post. I think I counted eleven in one post. Also, both posts are identical (I think, from a quick look at them.) They were both marked as spam, probably automatically by Akismet. Not sure how bozo happens after that. But that would be my guess. URL overused in the post.

In reply to: I can’t find where to edit rolesHow about a plugin like this:
In reply to: Redirect to last page after signinThis does not go in any WordPress files at all. It goes in your bbPress login-form.php template file, right before the closing </form> tag. That way, after submitting the form, bbPress directs the user back where they came from (all those SERVER VARIABLES in the code snippet.) I thought this did exactly what you were looking for. Where did you try to insert the code?
In reply to: Redirect to last page after signinSorry, I thought you said you were routing all the logins through bb-login.php – this *is* bbPress code. Where do you need to use the code? What are you trying to do again?
You’re sending all your users through bbPress for login, but when a blog user gets sent to the forum for login, they’re not returned to the page they were on, but to the forum front page? Is that accurate?
In reply to: Redirect to last page after signinHow about this:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/heres-a-trick-to-redirect-user-back-to-topic-after-login#post-14268
There was a hidden field with a name of “re” that you could use to redirect the user.
