Well, problem solved. The WordPress FAQ suggests resetting your MySQL password manually if you have problems connecting to the db. I did so using the MySQL client and now both WP and bbpress seem to be working fine.

Thanks for the input.

[lookfab]

Yes, the wordpress user exists. The passwords are the same.

The really strange thing now is that WP has stopped working (it did before I started tinkering with bbpress). I get “Error establishing a database connection” when I try to view the blog.

Even weirder, it seems that IIS “forgot” that index.php was a valid default page. I had to go back in and change this setting.

How are you calling bbPress from WordPress?

There seems to be something wrong with your webserver. Requests to a real pdf file should not be executing any PHP at all.

hello…

after upgrading to .83 the error-message changed…

maybe somebody could help me!!! please!!

Fatal error: Call to undefined function __() in /home/www/kunden/fsj-community.de/wordpress/forum/bb-includes/default-filters.php on line 81

Is there anything logged by MySQL? Does the wordpress user actually exist, and is the password in both wp-config.php and (bbpress) config.php the same?

Sorta stumped …

Thanks Chris.

> can you try connecting to that database

Yes, I did this with the MySQL cmd line client and I can connect fine. The bbpress settings are really simple:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXXX’);

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

And for WP:

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘wordpress’);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘XXXXXXXX’);

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

Here is the info from the MySQL database after connecting as the ‘wordpress’ user:

mysql> show databases;

+

---

+

| Database |

+

---

+

| information_schema |

| wordpress |

+

---

+

3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Is there any way to get more detailed diagnostic info from the install process?

[chrishajer]

If it cannot connect to the database, but the database server is working with WordPress, then I suspect something is wrong in the config.php for bbPress. Since we can’t help you with that on your local machine, can you try connecting to that database using the connection details you entered in config.php, with some other tool (phpMyAdmin or whatever comes with a MySQL install)?

Hello all,

Very odd issue!

I seem to be missing some forums:

http://forums.audreysargent.com/

There should be three additional forums, “The Cafe”, “The Design Divan” and “Written Role Play”.

They’re still there, is the odd thing. You just can’t see them in the forum listing on the index page, and they’re not showing up in my admin control panel either.

To prove it, here are links to each of the forums:

http://forums.audreysargent.com/forum/written-role-play

http://forums.audreysargent.com/forum/the-cafe

http://forums.audreysargent.com/forum/the-design-divan

In addition, this problem seems to happen with or without plugins- so it doesn’t seem to be a plugin issue. Though I could be wrong.

I’m not seeing any PHP errors, so I’m not sure how to diagnose the issue. It’s obvious all the content is still there, and even still accessible.

I upgraded the forum BEFORE I upgraded WordPress. Also, it is a fully integrated installation, they share the same database.

Any thoughts? Big thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me troubleshoot.

Miraploy, thanks!

I’ve started a trac ticket to keep track of this bug.

This:

You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php (so that you have two copies of db.php) to see if that helps.

Hey!

So after the rather simplified installation and integration with WordPress, I finally finished setting up the forum section of my website. But after several unsuccessful attempts, I was unable to get Sub-Forums working. All of the forums I create just show up on the home page as a top-level forum. I then try to put it under a parent forum, but it just doesn’t work. I try everything. I am currently running the latest version of bbPress witht he WOrdpress INtegration Plug’-In installed. I ask that someone please help as this is very important towards the deployment of my site

THANKS!

K

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

Miraploy,

What works? Overwriting the files?

[miraploy]

That works, thanks.

[wrsantiago]

Thank You I finally got them working in the same database.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

From lasir’s config file, it looks like a common theme may be that the error message says:

Access denied for user 'thechamp'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

but the config file specifies a different user: thechamp_risal. (Can the others who are experiencing this problem please post the DB details of their setup as well?).

This often indicates that the specified user doesn’t exist (or possibly doesn’t have access) in the specified database.

Lasil, I’m not sure what this post is showing. Are you looking at users in the wrdp1 database or in thechamp_wrdp1?

The other commonality here may be that all of you are using the mysqli extension. It could be that there’s a bug there that’s only now popping up since most people use the mysql extension.

You can try overwriting /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php (so that you have two copies of db.php) to see if that helps.

[Michael Adams (mdawaffe)]

They can be in the same database, and it won’t cause any problems. They can be in different databases too. bbPress will work in either situation, though it’s easier to set up if bbPress and WordPress share the same database.

[stefanjohansson]

Absolutely! The DB has a password and I wrote it correctly in the config-file.

I just read in another thread about other people experiencing the same problem, here:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/intergration-will-not-let-me-logon-using-my-wordpress-login?replies=8

[miraploy]

I would like to use bbpress as soon as possible, I would appreciate it if some adventerous soul took a crack at it and made a few code edits.

Thanks.

[stefanjohansson]

I have this problem…

I posted a thread about it before I read this discussion.

Help is appreciated!

Further to the above, that behavior was from the admin users page of the dashboard.

I also can’t get into any of the topics on the forum itself. Clicking these and also any tags sends me back to the front page of the blog. The URL indicated in the status line of the web browser shows links to non-existent /forums/forum/[slug], /forums/topics/[slug] and forums/tags/[slug] links that simply don’t exist as files in directories.

Looks like it isn’t doing any of the magic stuff to look up the appropriate bb_ tables in the wordpress database, which exist and seem to be OK.

It worked for wp 2.2.2 and bb 0.8.2.

[stuzog]

I’ve just installed bbPress 0.8.3 in /forums/ in WordPress 2.3, but when I click on a user name or profile to inspect or edit, I’m taken back to the front page of the blog.

Hovering over the link shows [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]. Hovering over the Edit link gives [blog URL]/forums/profile/[user name]/edit.

Other than that, it seems to be working, although I haven’t tested it fully.
