I’ve just notice that is no .htaccess by default in the forum directory – Should there be?
Like it – looks like a sound idea. Thanks
Thanks very much. Loooking now.
Thread resolved.
I’ll post any new questions in a fresh topic as they aren’t valid here now I guess.
Well knock me down with a feather!
There was certainly a brief eeeeeek! moment when uploaded the config file and refreshed but all seem well.
Thank you for your help.
Just one last question really, how do I colour the forum to suit my site. I haven’t found any theme downloads like WP, only plug ins – are into CSS land? Im not over fussy just what a blue header for now.
OK, thanks.
Done that and re-installed it. It completed saying:
Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.
These read as:
>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.
>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.
>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.
>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “logged in” cookie salt in your database.
Unsure about that but it looks painful!
The forum has at least opened and I seem to be in it.
I have the same database as the WP install for BBpress, How do I delete the tables without ruining the WPMU database info?
I can only assume that on the DB the bb tables are separated somehow. A word of advise please before I wreck it all!
FFS!
I deleated all the bbpress files and uploaded them again to start over.
I get past the step one database details but on step two it says:
Oh dear!
bbPress is already installed. >>>NO IT ISN’T – I DELEATED IT<<<
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
I’ve no idea now – any suggestions please. Stuck!
Scrap this, it appears you on on trial and the 1st point didn’t seem to cause a problem.
I have got to re-install though as I entered Admin in as the keymaster and the install said I couldn’t use it as it was already used then it threw all its toys out the pram and wouldn’t let me in.
START OVER!
Well I’ll be damned!
No, all is working now (well the install is showing). This was a blundering error on my part I was in the wrong folder for the install somehow had not realised.
Sorry for the fuss and thanks for the help. Still was a bit odd asking for a SSL cert that isn’t configured, even if it was the wrong file – never seen that before.
Same result on a fresh upload.
The domain is http://www.probationer.co.uk, what info do you require about the server? I set it up through my own hosting reseller account. It run with php4 but 5 is available.
I take it that it shouldn’t need any ssl certificate to run. I checked with my own support regarding the server and there are no known problems.
I will delete the files and re-uploaded it to see if I get the same result. I hadn’t entered any database details as I think its the same as the WP set page, if I have the instructions right. there is no config file in the directory yet so it isn’t a mismatched database.
Very odd error!
