Thanks for the suggestions. (Yes, you see phpBB there – I wanted to see if it was a bbpress issue or a server issue. I moved bbpress over from the forum directory to the bbpress directory – still the same problem, although phpbb installed fine).

It looks like it was the permissions issue- I changed the bbpress directory and the bb-admin directory to 755, and the install.php file to 644, and the installer came up! I’m off to see if it works now.

Thanks again for your help!

Thank you for the replies.

Here is a Filezilla screenshot showing my WordPress root directory (also the root directory of my site), with the subdirectory “forum” being the directory with the bbpress files:

And here is what my forum (bbpress) directory looks like:

Here are my WordPress permalink settings:

And here is my .htacess file:

The odd thing is that I got BBPress up and running a few weeks ago on another site (on another host) just fine. I figure it’s got to be that I’m doing something stupid, or this host has something strange with their settings.

Thanks again for your help.
