you installation is not looking at the files/folders that you have installed, its looking at the database.
open your database in your plesk interface
delete/drop any tables that start with bb_
now you should be able to install bbpress.
I would also recommend using winSCP for file manipulation rather than using the limited plesk file manager.
hope this helps
I have the same message – and it won’t do anything.
How did you get past it?
I wanted to simply delete the failed installation and try again.
Now I have a problem where an installation created the folders my-plugins and my-templates and set the owner as apache.
My system uses plesk and no .htaccess files. So how do I recover ownership to delete these folders. Figured I must have done something wrong on the install, but I can’t even delete it now.
Help!

I might do this, if it has most/all of the plugins I NEED!
But I have SMF 2.0RC3, will this work?
I’ve uploaded a new bbPress-Mobile.zip to my website that has some other things.
What you’d put on http://m.example.com/ would be in the ./mobile-bbpress./ folder.
The plugin for bbPress is the ./xmlrpc-client-info/ folder, which you’d put on the bbPress side.
And then to actually make the plugin receive anything, you’d patch the xmlrpc.php file, details are in ./xmlrpc-patch/ — basically replace your existing xmlrpc.php with xmlrpc.patched.php.

It’s a stand alone system using the XML-RPC api for bbPress.
For example, http://m.tartarus.co.nz points to the bbPress installation on http://tartarus.co.nz/community,
and (currently) http://dump.master5o1.com/mobi/ also points to the same bbPress install.

Sorry to be naiive but is this a plugin or a theme for bbpress? I would be happy to test this for you, as it would be useful for my work.
I have something similar set up for my other wordpress site that has the wp-iphone plug-in and a vast html forum server, it works ok, but it is very useful.
I am not a guru of any sort, but I would be happy to test it for you, provided that I am given some clear guidance. I can find my way around php to make adjustments, but not much yet.

Thanks for the replies, I know now I wasn’t overlooking anything. I will try the suggestion above.
Remember also that bbPress plugin is still in its infancy and some features have yet to be added.
Additionally not all features will be in the core plugin, and some of them will be left to plugin/theme developers.
Hi there,
Sorry if posting in the wrong place.
I would like to know how to address issues found in bbpress.org website, not the bbpress software, but, the actual site pages:
I have a problem with the add plugin page; I can’t see the form to submit new plugins.
I already have posted in the plugin page, but since there’s no answer yet, I wanted to know ho is in charge of maintaining the website because I think there’s a restriction/privileges problem that makes some people see the form and others not:
my oiginal post is in; http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-submit-a-plugin-o-bbpress
sorry for the duplicates, but I think it is an urgent fix.
thanx

Hi dsmasters,
it seems that there is no feature in the backend from WordPress to disable the anonymous postings. Maybe it’s possible to disable to post-form via conditional tags?
<?php if ( $user_ID ) { ?>
postform
<?php } ?>
Sorry moved from previously badly named topic!!
i’m unable to post a new topic on my forum. it just gives “this topic has been closed”.
i have integrated BBPress with WordPress and installed the platform pro theme which all looks fine and i login to wordpress and don’t have to login again when i go into the forum.
if i go back to the default theme there is no problem with posting a new topic.
this is the thread in the pagelines forum where we have been discussing this issue.

Hi,
I’m new to bbpress and got it up and running without much problem 
Now I really like the look of THIS forum and it was partly why I chose to go with bbpress. Was wondering if there is a theme that you can download that is styled just like this one?
Many thanks
