No such luck. I have a backup copy of the .htaccess file, so I just deleted it. Then I changed the config to set rewrite to false. It still tries to go to the the install.php file in install folder.
I think it’ll be a while before my hair grows back. Maybe a little longer for the big patch of skin that came out with it, though.
There is an htaccess file for the nice urls; all it contains is this:
Options +MultiViews
Should I disable it?
Thanks. Got it going, but now I get nothing but 404 pages that insist on a call to “http://ourdomain/forum/install/install.php” — which doesn’t exist, and doesn’t exist in any of the documents on the site. Hrmmmm…
This happens when I try to access the main forum page as well as any of the bbpress admin pages. Very strange…
Not getting snooty… feeling misunderstood.
OK. At the “First Step” in the installation, bbpress asks for the following:
Administrator
(form box) <—- there is supposed to be a dropdown here!
Enter your username below. You will be made the first Key Master on these forums. Leave this blank if you want to create a new account.
First Forum
Forum Name:* (form box)
Description: (form box)
I get no dropdown. Regardless of what I enter — or even if I leave it blank — it returns, “Username not found.”
I can access everything. I can log in and log out to WordPress, Coppermine, phpMyAdmin –basically everything.
bbpress still tells me it can’t find the username.
