In reply to: can’t access admin dashboard
You have a directory or multiple directories protected with .htaccess. Check the bbpress directory for a file called .htaccess (leading dot, means it’s a hidden file.) It may have been protected through the 1&1 admin panel, or maybe it’s just been uploaded with FTP or by a shell account. That is what’s causing the basic auth dialog you see there. You need to get rid of that, or maybe that’s not the problem you’re talking about at all?
That is a completely different problem from the one I posted about, although you STILL don’t access bb-admin directly. Log in on the front page of your forum and it will show you an admin link next to your name if you have administrator capabilities.
In reply to: can’t access admin dashboardYou don’t access the admin directly like you can in WordPress. You log in on the front page and then if you’re keymaster, you see the admin link next to your name. If you don’t have an admin link after you log in, maybe you’re not marked as keymaster.
Need more info on your setup to help. Did you integrate with WordPress? What versions of bbPress and WordPress did you install?
In reply to: How do I disable registration temporarily?Yes.
Or just replace register.php with
<?php
// silence is golden
?>You should look in your logs though to see where they are coming in. Sometimes they go right to bb-login.php as well. Anything related to login really. They’re not sitting there browsing the forum and clicking the [login] button.
You can also install _ck_’s Human Test plugin to prevent most of the registrations:
The problem is not that they SUPPORT PHP4, it’s that you WANT PHP5. Add this to your .htaccess if you’re at 1&1.
AddType x-mapp-php5 .phpThat will force *.php files to be processed by PHP5. That should resolve the problem for you.
Please use this thread:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/warning-cannot-yet-handle-mbcs-in-html_entity_decode-in-home2
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.9Are you using PHP4? I thought that was the source of this problem.
What version did you install?
In reply to: Why aren’t recounts done automatically?Performance then. Thank you.
In reply to: There are no 404’sMy guess is that there is something in the WordPress .htaccess file that is causing it to mess with what should be a forum 404 error. I don’t know enough about subdomains and bbPress integrated with WordPress, but that’s my guess. Something in the WordPress .htaccess file is rewriting your bbPress 404. Possibly? Is there a .htaccess file for bbPress? I would guess not, since you’re not using permalinks for the forum.
I suspect it has something to do with the subdomain, but that’s just a SWAG.
In reply to: Installation appears stuck at first stepFor reloading Apache after installing php5-mysql, you might end up doing this on CentOS:
sudo /sbin/service apache2 restartor
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restartor even
sudo /usr/sbin/apache2ctl gracefulOne of those should restart the apache2 daemon.
In reply to: Installation appears stuck at first stepOn CentOS, you probably want
rpmor theyumfront end to it. Try this:yum install php5-mysqlMaybe you need sudo in front of that command, depending on your system configuration. In that case
sudo yum install php5-mysql.That should install the package for you on CentOS.

In reply to: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp()Also, bbPress does not modify the wp-config.php. Maybe you added a line there, but bbPress doesn’t touch that file.
In reply to: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp()Be sure to delete all the bb_ tables. The only WordPress tables that were modified by bbPress should be the wp_usermeta and wp_users tables. If you changed the table prefix for the bbPress installation, be sure you delete the correct tables.
Also, it makes sense to backup the whole database before doing any of this, just in case.
In reply to: WordPress integration helpYou don’t need a separate database, and it’s easier to integrate with WordPress if you install bbPress in the same database as WordPress.
What version of bbPress are you installing? Sounds like an older one that doesn’t integrate well with WordPress 2.7.1. In the bbPress installation of the alpha, which does integrate with WordPress 2.7.1, there are pretty clear instructions beneath each box on where to find the keys.
In reply to: Can’t Edit the Keymaster’s profile?In the bb_users table, there is a field called “user_nicename”. In that field you need to add the user’s nicename. I would do all lowercase and no special characters, just to be safe and get you going. If your user name is Process_of_Illumination I would probably just try something that’s unique, but close to the user name: processofillumination for example.
In reply to: Can 0.9.0.4 be intergrated with WP 2.7In reply to: There are no 404’sWhat *do* you get instead of a 404? Something is probably overriding the 404 and displaying a page (WordPress does that sometimes depending on the way the theme is configured.) Are you integrated with WordPress?
And, can you post a link to your forum so someone can check the server response and see if it’s sending a 404 header but still displaying content? I recall that being a problem in the past but I can’t recall the details right now (maybe it was an IIS thing?)
In reply to: Do I Need a Server?Sounds like you need to find someone local to walk you through it. You need a server environment to run the software. It’s not an executable you run on your desktop. You need a web server, a MySQL database and PHP. Those things can be installed on your desktop, or, with your domain, you can find a cheap/good web host to host this site, and you can install the software there. It will work either way. On your desktop, you don’t have to pay for a hosting account. If you have a domain though, why *not* get a host?
You can do this all on your desktop without paying for a server or hosting account at all, so long as you install server software on your desktop. https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/do-i-need-a-server#post-24581
In reply to: topics never really get inputIs the user marked as a bozo or something?
In reply to: What version to use for a new project?I would use 1.0 alpha if it were me.
In reply to: keymaster login not working after integrationIn another thread you posted this:
> I’m using bbpress 0.9.0.4 and wordpress 2.7.1.
Those two versions will not integrate user logins (cookies) unless you use one of these two solutions:

In reply to: link back to blogThere’s something wrong with your header.php if there is just a “>”.
It should look like this:

In reply to: Quote marks replaced with HTML charactersIf you undo the integration (don’t include WordPress inside the bb-config.php) does it still happen?
Also, are you using a language other than English?
What version bbPress are you using? Is it integrated with WordPress, and if so, what version? Are you using a language file other than English?
In reply to: Reply by EmailIt was an honest question kewe65. Why *not* use a Yahoo group if everything you need is there, no matter the terminology (board/forum/group)? I really want to know; maybe others do too.
With every Yahoo group I’ve even been a part of, none has ever felt like a community. It’s almost like it’s an archive of an email mailing list (majordomo anyone?) It feels dead, just a snapshot. Maybe it’s just the groups I happened to join. But those are reasons why *I* would never use a Yahoo group where I really need a forum. And for the same reasons, I would not allow people to skip participation in the forum by opting to get their replies via email. That kills the community feeling for me, too. That’s what the Joel on Software article was trying to say, I think. I know the article is long, but you can skip to part relevant to this discussion if you just search that page for “email”.
In reply to: keymaster login not working after integrationWhat versions did you integrate? What bbPress or WordPress plugins have you installed?
