Soooo. It works!
As usual it was the unexpected simple thing. My domain is at one host and the subdomain is at another. The A record was not propogating correctly. I fixed this and the install worked first time.
Thanks for taking the time to help.
OK – This is what I did at the beginning.
ASO has cpanel.
I went to cpanel and created “subdomain” called “forum”
When you do this cpanel automatically creates a directory “forum”
I uploaded BBpress to this directory.
I created a database in cpanel and completed the fields in config.php
I tried $bb->domain = ‘http://forum.domain.com’;
$bb->path = ‘/forums/’; plus a lot of others.
Does not work.
So,
I went to a current subdomain I have http://test.domain.com and in cpanel physically created a directory /forum/.
I populated config.php with the data and it WORKS! (looks good by the way!!).
The only thing is that my forum is at
test.domain.com/forum/
I cannot get it to the root at
test.domain.com
(by the way when I install WP to testexample.domain.com it works first time every time and I do not have to install it to, and call it from testexample.domain.com/wpdirectory/
Sorry for the long post and hope it is clear…
What am I missing here?
yes its in the subdomain directory. .. I am going to try on a new domain root install.
