peiqinglong’s clarification:

First off, I would go back to the beginning. Delete all the bbpress files that you put into your WP directory. Then create a sub directory inside of WP, bbpress, or something. Put all of bbpress in there.

Should be included on the 1, 2, 3 Step Installation Page, which should read:

1. Unzip to a sub directory of WP e.g., ‘bbpress’. This will become part of your forum URL http://yourcoolsite.com/bbpress/.
2. Copy config-sample.php to config.php and fill in the necessary details.
3. Load bb-admin/install.php and do what it tells you.

Let basking be the RESULT of the process, rather than hogging up 33% of the 1, 2, 3 process.
