IIS is configured for several websites, each with it’s own ip address allocated. The URL I’m using to configure bbpress is http://newintranet.savethechildren.org.uk/forums/bb-admin/install.php

The ‘newintranet’ website is allocated ip address 10.1.10.49

The mysql settings in the bb-config file is as follows:

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress’);

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘Forum’);

// the user Forum has been granted all privileges to the bbpress db

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘Forum’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// mysql is installed on the same IIS server listening on ip 10.1.10.53 standard port 3306

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ‘utf8_general_ci’);
