Re: Installing bbPress
Normally, bbPress is not this bad. A couple bugs were introduced which create problems on some systems. My install from a year ago was no where near this hard, but I checked out the new code and if I installed it I would have had this same trouble.
I think the line 80 being referenced is line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php
https://trac.bbpress.org/browser/trunk/bb-includes/db-mysqli.php#L80
I think there are 3 possible workarounds:
1. You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php
2. You can manually modify line 80 of /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php
3. You can apply the 745c.diff patch attached to trac ticket 745
4. Wait for mdawaffe to fix it permanently.
I guess a 5th option is to move on to other forum software. I hope you don’t do that. bbPress is nice when it works (which is 99.9% of the time.)
