You have installed everything to a sub folder called bbpress. If you want your index page to be the forum i think u may need to reinstall moving everything to the public_html folder rather than it being there within a folder called bbpress.

Other than that you could create a index page that just forwards the user to http://konpaforum.com/bbpress/

Resolved

Many thanks

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

font: “Comic Sans MS”;

Still no joy

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

#front-page #hottags {

position: centre;

top: 0;

left: 0;

overflow: hidden;

margin-left: 30px;

margin-right: 30px;

width: auto;

font-size: small;

font: Comic Sans MS;

}

I haven’t tried that yet no, what are permalinks tho ? let alone pretty ones ?

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

I copied and pasted WP_config details and forgot to change it to BBDB

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

As soon as i corrected these I no longer had any errors.

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

It resolved it self when I corrected the config file.

thanks

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

Fantastic now it works thanks for the advice!

Hey this may sound like a dumb question but what are permalinks ?

Does it matter that the Permalinks wont work ?

Thanks again

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

Yes i’ve changed it back now and its all working fine just completed the install.

Only thing now is that i can’t seem to post or read the test posts that are already there.

It’s saying :

The requested URL /home/bbpress/topic/1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

When i click on: your first topic

Or when i try to post a new topic

Any ideas ?

Correction I can post topics I just can’t view any. But it does show the new topics I’ve made. But doesn’t let me view them ?

As discussed in this post https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fatal-error-prior-to-installation?replies=10

Comma’ing out lines 81 & 82 seems to do the trick. (i hope)

But now i get 5 new Errors

As follows:

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_NAME in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 58

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_USER in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 59

Warning: constant() [function.constant]: Couldn’t find constant BBDB_PASSWORD in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 60

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: Access denied for user ‘nobody’@’localhost’ (using password: NO) in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Warning: mysql_get_server_info() [function.mysql-get-server-info]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/the3eco/public_html/home/bbpress/bb-includes/db.php on line 73

Cannot select DB.

Not sure if everyone has this much trouble installing bbpress but its becoming a pain, I’m sure the information i entered in my config is correct as i just copied and pasted from the wp-config file. Don’t understand how i could have done it wrong.

Anyway if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

This is the problem I’ve been getting, don’t really want to just start deleting lines, if it works for everyone else it should work for me too. Anyone know any other ways round this?

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

Fantastic all working now many thanks

[@goldfiinger Member 17 years ago]

Sorry if i didn’t make myself clear, i deleted all the bb files. I left all the wp files yet now wp doesn’t work.
