Hi! Thanx! I have a question. Installer says:
bbPress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.
Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?
I click on upgrade script and it says:
You’re running in safe mode which does not allow this upgrade script to set a running time limit. Depending on the size of your database and on which parts of the script you are running, the script can take quite some time to run (or it could take just a few seconds). To throw caution to the wind and run the script in safe mode anyway, remove the first few lines of code in the bb-admin/upgrade.php file. Backups are always a good idea.
Any idea?
ok. it is. i just tried it but got a php error (function “wp_set_password” missing).
i just added that as an empty function @ line 1 in index.php and could login. after that i activated the md5-password plugin.
is this compatible to wp 2.5 only ?
I have upgraded to bbpress 0.9 with some critical problems:
I cannot create de keymaster
When i have gone to my forum the post not appeard (I out the correct database)
When i tried to login i anly see a blanl page 
_ck_ thanks for your reply,
I contacted to technical service, and they said they opened multiview option. But it did not work. And they gave me virtual host configuration:
The error I saw is, ” page not found error”
I use wordpress in my root directory, and I use bbpress in subfolder named as forum. I think wordpress’ .htaccess file do not interfere with the one for forums.
I also asked for httpd.conf settings, but the technical stuff said, directadmin uses very clean httpd.conf settings, and their virtual host setup is nearly the same thing, so they gave virtual host settings:
<Directory /home/abc.com/public>
Options +Includes -Indexes +MultiViews
</Directory>
Technical stuff also, did not figure out why this problem occurs. And he also said multiviews option could reason some security problems.
Followed steps from bbPress blog post.
At end of install:
Key master could not be created!
Forums already exist!

There were some errors encountered during installation!
After login:

I’ve installed the new version of BBpress, and evrything works just great, and the integration into WordPress is also great!
I’ve installed a copy over here (in dutch): http://www.labrador-web.nl
I just realised there is little in the way of community acknowledgement in the blog post.
I want to thank the people who helped test bbPress 0.9 while it was in development, especially those on #bbpress who poked and prodded it so much.
Special thanks to _ck_ and da3rX who put in a lot of testing in the final few days.
Congrats!
Many thanks Sam and MDA for all the bug fixes
and feature enhancements.
0.9 is a big leap IMHO for bbPress, really makes it solid.
Finally it is here.
More info is on the blog post here.
Found a bug? Tell us about it here.
UPDATE: we found a bug and squashed it, thus 0.9.0.1 is born. Sorry to all those very early adopters.
There is a change to the way AJAX calls are checked for permission in the next release (0.9, coming any day now I swear).
So this may just fix itself when you move to bbPress 0.9 – in any case, I wouldn’t try to fix it right now as the changes in 0.9 will probably break your fix anyway.
I’ve written my own custom plugin to have bbPress use my site’s authentication system (it’s not wordpress). It’s working beautifully (for the most part). I replace bb_is_user_logged_in and bb_current_user (and the latter sets bb_set_current_user).
The problem is this: AJAX calls to add a new tag, to remove an existing tag (your own or as admin), or to delete a post all fail with a “you don’t have permission to do that”. I see that other plugins have had that problem too. However, if I submit the request using the old school (non-AJAX) url, it works just fine.
So I’m guessing there’s something unique in the AJAX calls and that code seems dense to me. Can anyone suggest some places to check first?
macbis, after 8 months since you posted I kept hitting this when I tried to install bbPress in a subdirectory inside WPMU. Your fix worked just dandy! Thank you.. now on to doing the rest of the integration. 
Nice and simple bbpress forum which integrates into the rest of the site very well.

Do you possibly have rewrite rules in a higher level directory that are interfering with the bbpress rules?
When you say they don’t work, did you get a specific error?
It’s really entirely up to apache and the httpd.conf settings, the host OS should not matter too much…
Your version of bbPress is a big outdated (though I run 0.8.2.1 elsewhere myself) but it should still work fine for permalinks.
I just moved my forum from cpanel-shared hosting to debian vps server- directadmin.
The only problem I faced was permalinks on my forum.
I am using wordpress & bbpress together, and wordpress had no problem with permalinks.
I tried two options for permalinks to work;
1) option multiviews,
2) bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php
I use .htaccess redirects on my wordpress and had no problem with it. I dont know what to change on my vps, or what to try on my vps, and all of the urls saved on google are not working for now.
I dont know much about debian or vps server, this is my first month. I have root access.
Software Versions
Wordpress 2.2.2
Bbpress 0.8.2.1

DirectAdmin 1.31.2
Thanks for reading.
No listing in the plugins tab means the plugin is malformed and is seen as just a file in that directory, not a plugin. You are going to need a plugin header, something as simple as this:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: No 404s
*/
?>

Yes, it’s possible. Since you have users already, you’re going to need to get those users set up as WordPress users so they can comment on your blog. You are going to need an integrated install, and I would recommend WordPress 2.5 and bbPress 0.9 when it comes out. Before that, it will just be painful.
is it possible? Whats with the users on the board, may they write comments on wordpress?
my forum is here
exampledomain.com/forums
and i want to install the worpress here
exampledomain.com/
Thanks for all the help so far guys. I think I know what the problem is now. Since the site is integrated with WP, I’m using the WP headers, which are responsible for throwing the 404 error even though the page generates fine.
The relevant discussion on this forum is here.
I still haven’t fixed the problem though. Should I give up on using a single header for both WP and BBPress? Is the plugin fix suggest the best bet? Other ideas?
Thanks for the reply Chris. Yes, I’m using 2.3.3 right now. The content of the plugin code is exactly as above:
function mbob_flush_rewrites() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
add_action('init', 'mbob_flush_rewrites');
function mbob_add_rewrites($wp_rewrite) {
add_rewrite_rule('forums/topic', 'forums/topic.php');
add_rewrite_rule('forums/forum', 'forums/forum.php');
add_rewrite_rule('forums', 'forums/index.php');
$wp_rewrite->rules = array_merge($wp_rewrite->non_wp_rules, $wp_rewrite->rules);
}
add_action('generate_rewrite_rules', 'mbob_add_rewrites');
And I’m not getting a specific error really. Simply that when I upload no404s.php with this code to my wp-content/plugins directory, there is no listing in the Plugins tab to even activate it.
You don’t have to wait for 0.9 official release, the beta is very stable:
https://trac.bbpress.org/changeset/1396/branches/0.8?old_path=%2F&format=zip
Just make sure to update it to final when it’s available.
Create the topic like normal, then as keymaster, click the edit link, and on the bottom under the reply form, are links to “Stick topic” or “Stick topic to front”. Click one and you’re done. As keymaster, you can do this for topics created by other people as well. I don’t believe there’s a way to do it when you create a new topic. You need to go in to edit the topic after creating it, then the links are there at the bottom of the page.

Start by sharing a link to your forum and describing how you would like it to look unless it’s completely obvious to anyone viewing exactly what is wrong with the positioning.
Thanks.
