500 error

Hello – I have a WP blog running and I want to add BBPress forum. I have added a folder on my main site : http://www.givemebackmygame.com and it should simply be /forum to take me to the folder where all the files are uploaded.

However, I have tried and I get a 500 server error.

I have tried with the files exactly as they are d/l and I have tried doing what has to be done with WP – namely changing the bb-config-sample.php file to bb-config.php with the same information added as in the WP installation, i.e. DBName, DBUsername password.

I’m stuck – and I’ve only just started!

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks

500 Internal Server Errors are usually either related to your .htaccess file or to your file permissions:

Here’s a number of reports from users who ran into similar issues – it was usually resolved by one of those two solutions:

Good luck! Let us know how it goes…
