Re: Wierd problems installing bbPress
It appears, that the “admin” issue is also SSL related.
In admin.php:8 bb_auth is called with implied, default scheme “auth”.
However, later on in functions.bb-pluggable.php:145, the following code is encountered:
if ( is_ssl() ) {
$scheme = ‘secure_auth’;
} else {
$scheme = ‘auth’;
}
Which, given that is_ssl() returns true, will make the validation fail and user bounced out of admin page.
For now, I replaced ‘secure_auth’ with ‘auth’ in ssl branch as well, which appears to be a reasonable hack for me.
