Found a hack around this problem in another thread!
Forum could not be created!
Just create an entry in your bb_forums table and it will fix it.
I have the same thing happening to me on RC1.
It runs the full install and writes out the bb-config file no problem. But, when I go to access the site it just loops back to the install script.
Bummer.
Ahhh… thanks!
Didn’t know I could do that.
Cool!
