I’ve gone over the configuration file, and it all looks correct. I am installing in forums.nerdgrind.com, which I gave it’s own directory, so there is no wordpress installation sharing the forums directory. I’m not sure why I keep getting this error:

bbPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55” at line 4]

INSERT INTO bb_topics (topic_title, topic_slug, topic_poster, topic_poster_name, topic_last_poster, topic_last_poster_name, topic_start_time, topic_time, forum_id) VALUES (‘Your first topic’, ‘your-first-topic’, , ”, , ”, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, ‘2008-01-16 00:57:55’, 1)

The database is setup, and all other tables are created except this one. I am using the latest bbPress.

Not sure why, but you’re missing all the topic poster name stuff:

topic_poster

topic_poster_name

topic_last_poster

topic_last_poster_name

 

Maybe there was an error with the name you selected when you setup the forum? Maybe it didn’t like a special character or something?

It’s not a problem with the database but a problem with the data that’s being sent to create that first topic. I suspect there is a problem with the name that was entered. Do you know what that was?

I found the problem. In the install form I set the Site Name and Forum Name the same, which caused a conflict. Perhaps the install.php script could be updated to catch this error, and prompt to use different names.

Glad you found it.

Which version of bbPress was this? 0.8.3.1 or latest trunk?

[@hollywoodgrind Member 16 years, 11 months ago]

It was 0.8.3.1
