I use bbPress 0.9.0.4 , not integrated with WordPress. My server use Linux CentOS, Apache 2.2.3, Mysql5.045 and Php 5.1.6 .

[DTI]

Thanks for help.

After I followed this info in /plugins/topic/instant-password/

I have updated the password at ‘user_pass’ with new one and changed user status using 1 at ‘user_status’ in table ‘bb_users’.

When I user new password, I still can’t login that show me “incorrect password”.

[DTI]

Thank you so much to give me this idea and a link when I have searched it in the forum and can’t got some clue.

But I don’t the know where is admin area (Go to the “General” settings in the admin area and choose a permalink type.)

My server is Apache 2.2.3 in Linux CentOS 5.

I don’t install phpMyAdmin.

Chrishajer, thank you for your detailed help.

Before I installed the bbpress, I have created a database as below:

1, mysql> create database MyForum_database;

2, mysql> show database; it is displayed.

3, to create a dbconnect.php file to test it,

<?php

$con = mysql_connect(“localhost:3306″,”myname”,”mypassword”);

if (!$con)

{ die(‘Could not connect: “.mysql_error());}

else

echo “Successful connect.”

mysql_select_db(“MyForum_database”, $con);

?>

4, to run this dbconnect.php file in the

http://localhost/mrm/bbforum/dbcon.php //mrm is root of my website

To get the “Successful connect.”

This means my website host is “localhost” and the database is on the same server as the web site, then this probably should remain localhost in Database Host.

5, my web site host is ‘localhost’ in my Apache setting in my server.(We have static IP address)

6, please see my setting in bbpress installation:

Database name: MyForum_database

Database user: myname

Database password: mypassword

Database host: localhost

Database character set: utf8

Database character collation: forum

bbPress cookie secret key: skyisblue

Table name prefix: f_

Where is I wrong? My MyForum_database has been connected, why bbPress installation can’t connect it.

My database and website are on same server, same host.

So I wander why…

Please help again.

Thanks, Chrishajer.

More question:

1, Do I create database first before running install.php? Both I try ( no database to install and after create database to install), it doesn’t work.

2, I can’t find the path where is I created database save in, so I entered localhost in the Database Host. I really don’t understand what is the database host and search it in internet, is it belong to company? I use Mysql 5.0.45 . and bbpress-0.9.0.4 . How can find the path about my database in Linux.

3, I don’t choose the Show Advanced Settings (default), it is still stuck step 1.

It is always (There was a problem connection to the database you specified. Please check the settings, then try again.)

Is it terrible to install it?

[DTI]

But after renamed the bb-config-sample.php into bb-config.php, I got a prompting “An invalid configuration file was found at bb-config.php the installation cannot continue.”

Why does this installation is difficulty in my computer? Still to stuck installation step 1.

[DTI]

I don’t like to take time to stuck step 1.

1. Can I create a database by myself?

2. To edit the bb-config-sample.php file using this database name, username and password.

3. To change the name of bb-config-sample.php into bb-config.php .

4. Does it get more problems in future when I do above steps?

5. Can I use localhost in host name? ( http://localhost/mrm/forum_bam/bb-admin/install.php)

Please …

Thanks, Chrishajer. I followed your suggestion to install the php-mysql, but it was already installed.

And I use sudo /sbin/service apache2 restart etc. commands to restart Apache, it prompts: command not found.

So I use: /sbin/service httpd restart to restart Apache.

But I still stuck on the step 1. Could you give me more help?

[DTI]

I can’t pass step 1 , same yours.

After using the suggestion commands:

$ sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

I got a message about, ” sudo: apt-get: command not found”

$ sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 reload

I got a message about, ” sudo: invoke-rc: command not found”

I use CentOS 5 Linux

MySQL 5.0.45

PHP 5.1.6

Apache

in my server.

What’s wrong for me? Please give some helps, I take three days to install and still can’t solved it.
