FIXED THE PROBLEM: I ran a more extensive search online and followed the resolution proposed by noepiyu (visit https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-problem-bb-config-pathphp). I deleted lines 141,142,143 of the bb-load.php file. Now the error seems resolved. Crossed fingers!
@smiga – I do not believe that was a feature in my theme but more like a feature in bbPress. After I updated bbPress I notice that feature was gone as well.

You can download my theme, which is very similar to this forum.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wpmimic-v1
Or just open up the theme and start messing your way into it. Its really the best way to learn.

I recently installed bbPress onto my WP/BP site however I am constantly getting the following error when I visit the site (http://forum.cgstudent.co.uk);
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/bb-config-path.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/forum/:/tmp/) in /***/***/***/cgstudent.co.uk/forum/bb-load.php on line 141
Every error I’m getting seems to be linked to a complete absence of a file called bb-config-path.php. Where can I get this from or can I create one myself, and if I do create it myself what do I fill it with?
I’ve seen threads about this topic, but none that seem to come to any conclusion.
I’m not a programmer by any stretch, so try not to get too technical on me (please).
I done the “deep integration” thing. Mapped user roles, enter the auth keys and salts, etc.
For some reason, when I log into WP, I am not also automatically logged into the (allegedly) “deeply integrated” bbPress forum.
I am hosted by Network Solutions, and I have two different DB’s on two different servers with them. One DB is the WP installation and the other DB is the bbPress forum.
I’ve told the config files where each of the servers/DB’s are and that part seems okay, but it won’t log in to bbPress automatically.
Any brilliant ideas?
Thx.

Hello,
I want to make it work both my wordpress blog and bbpress should 1 login with facebook connect.
I just trying with this way:
In wordpress plugin I installed Facebook Connect: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-connect/
In bbpress plugin I installed Simple Facebook Connect: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/simple-facebook-connect/
I have read the readme Installation guide, and install it without any error notice.
In my wordpress blog it works well. But not in my bbpress.
If I’m connected as facebook user in wordpress, in bbpress I should click Facebook connect, and the result is:
Error: an user account with the email address ’email @ address’ already exists.
Note: email @ address is a valid email, I just didn’t want to show it here.
More Info: I’m using database integration for wordpress and bbpress, so it is in the same database name access.
So, what should I do?
Which is the best solution for this issue?
Thank You.

Thanks for replying!, I left it like that because I thought of people with multiple installs in one db and the prefixes were different.

bbPress have a long tradition of “working alphas” is this the case again? I mean can I consider now that once beta and final version are released it won’t mean reconverting everything again from scrath?
You won’t need to convert anything now, there might be normal internal upgrades. 
would I better off waiting for the final release and importer, specially if we plan to integrate buddypress on this installation afterwards.
I’d recommend at least waiting for the official alpha of the plugin.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how I can hook onto database updates and inserts. I want to be able to populate a table outside of bbpress.
I actually did wrap the code in a code tag, and it did nothing. The code just executed. Of course once I sanitized the code, it got highlighted in yellow.

Hi Alex,
at line 21 you use: SHOW TABLES FROM db_name in order to retrieve bbPress tables. This is a wrong approach cause you assume that in the database there are only bbPress tables which is not guaranteed.
You should only backup the tables with the bbPress prefix. Check the $bb_table_prefix global variable.

Hi everyone. I am very happy to see there is again certain activity in the future of bbPress and that the “plugin version” is already release in alpha.
I understand much has been put into it and I’ve seen Gautam’s converter script.
We have and old forum we managed to convert to bbPress 1 hooked together with a WordPress installation (2.
but we got stack with the theming integration and it was never released. We now want to go ahead with the project but we are a bit uncertain which route to go with.
I would really appreciate from developers or someone who’s had the experience comments on:

Many thanks in advance and thanks to the development team for maintaining the project.
I still can’t figure out how to get to the add plugin form, so here’s my new plugin.
It’s called Alex bbPress Backup, it makes an SQL backup of your bbPress database and allows you to copy and save it.
it can be downloaded at http://anthonyzb.users.sourceforge.net/?page_id=31
What happens if you wrap that code in a proper code element?
No worries about posting security stuff here. Live and learn. 
I’m going to put up a sticky post here with more clear directions, and when/where to do what/why.
OK whew, that’s a bit of a relief. I just tried the same thing from a normal member level account and the dangerous stuff was removed so… relieved.
Of course I’m not sure even admins should be able to post what I was able to post, or at least require it be wrapped in some special tag like <raw> or something. I am often going to need to display code for my members and obviously I can’t have it executing! I need some sort of efficient way to have it be sanitized.
Thanks for the clarification, and sorry for posting security related stuff improperly.
(Oh and also sorry for the multiple account posts, I didn’t realize earlier I had been logged into that other account.)

@jvanclute – I deleted your posts because they are security related. The way it works now, is if you are the site admin you have the unfiltered_html capability, which allows you as a trusted site administrator to post whatever you want to. What you described isn’t allowed for non-admins.
I’ll look through things again and probably incorporate more aggressive filtering, even for admins.
