Uh. Yes. I can read, and I DID read that, thanks. As I said…
“Nothing I had read previously said that I COULD use the same database as WordPress, __or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases__.” (emphasis added)
So, yes. I realize there was another solution to the problem. I just chose to solve it the one way.
Thanks for the tutorial link, Gautam.
Actually the problem ended up being that I was using a separate database for the forums, as nothing I had read previously said that I could use the same database as WordPress, or that I needed to do something differently if I WAS using separate databases.
So yeah. Reinstalled using my WordPress database, and everything is working now.
Thanks again!
Yeah. It uses php5. What do you have to do, exactly?
