I found the answer to download the trunk

Forgive my ignorance, but how do I download all the files from http://svn.automattic.com/bbpress/trunk/ at once? In my browser they all appear as a bunch of individual links. Do I need to FTP into this address or something?

Thanks jpbruckler, that works beautifully. The user doesn’t see a thing.

(The only problem I could for see is if a user was logging in through the wordpress side of things they would be redirected to bbpress, but this won’t be a problem for me.)

I tried to use the LDAP Authentication plugin for bbPress to let people login, but it gives me this error:

Warning: ldap_bind() [function.ldap-bind]: Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials in /var/www/wordpress/bbpress/bb-plugins/ldap-authentication.php on line 330

That worked! Thanks so much for your prompt help.

I guess this forum turns the left and right carrots (aka less than and greater than signs) into < and &gt. The first and last characters were < and >

During the bbPress install it told me that I had to create a bb-config.php file and upload it to the root directory. I just copied the text, created the file and dropped it in without looking at it (I am not very familiar with php yet). Here is what it looked like on my server before:

<?php

/**

* The base configurations of bbPress.

*

* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,

* Secret Keys and bbPress Language. You can get the MySQL settings from your

* web host.

*

* This file is used by the installer during installation.

*

* @package bbPress

*/

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //

/** The name of the database for bbPress */

define( ‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’ );

/** MySQL database username */

define( ‘BBDB_USER’, ‘root’ );

/** MySQL database password */

define( ‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘There was a password here’ );

/** MySQL hostname */

define( ‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ );

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */

define( ‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ );

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */

define( ‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ” );

/**#@+

* Authentication Unique Keys.

*

* Change these to different unique phrases!

* You can generate these using the {@link https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/ WordPress.org secret-key service}

*

* @since 1.0

*/

define( ‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’ );

define( ‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’ );

define( ‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’ );

define( ‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ‘put your unique phrase here’ );

/**#@-*/

/**

* bbPress Database Table prefix.

*

* You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique

* prefix. Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

*/

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’;

/**

* bbPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

*

* Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen

* language must be installed to a directory called “my-languages” in the root

* directory of bbPress. For example, install de.mo to “my-languages” and set

* BB_LANG to ‘de’ to enable German language support.

*/

define( ‘BB_LANG’, ” );

?>

There were no spaces on or before the first or last lines. This is what it looked like (aside from me removing the password). I noticed the ‘put your unique phrase here’ deal and went ahead and filled those in following the instructions in the comment before it. Then I went to the page again and go the same error.

I didn’t set the server up, but I believe it is a VMware WordPress application http://www.turnkeylinux.org/wordpress. I am afraid I don’t know where the php error log would be. The warnings are on the page itself not in a popup or anything. The url of the page with the warnings is mysite.org/bbpress/bb-login.php. I hope that helps.
