Hi,

I’m trying to add a bbpress managed forum to my wordpress blog but i have some difficulties even so the installation instructions seemed easy. I use the same database for both blog and forum. The only thing i have is blank page when i launch the install.

Here is my config.php file

<?php

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xxxx’); // Le nom de la base de donnees

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘xxxx’); // Votre identifiant MySQL

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘xxxx’); // …et votre mot de passe

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // Dans la plupart des cas, vous n’aurez pas a modifier cette ligne

// Vous pouvez faire plusieurs installation sur une meme base de donnees en leur donnant un prefixe unique

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

// The full URL of your bbPress install

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.subventions.fr/forum/&#8217;;

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Le forum des subventions à la création et au développement d’entreprise’;

// This must be set before you run the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@subventions.fr’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks, set to ‘slugs’ if you want to use slug based pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = -2;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = ‘xxxx’; // Example: ‘0123456789ab’

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.subventions.fr&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.subventions.fr/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.subventions.fr’;

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Is there something wrong in what I wrote? Beside that i installed the integration plugin under wordpress and modified the wp-config.php concerning the cookies.

Thank you for your help

more details:

same server

same domain name just a folder named forum

same sql database

integration plugin under wordpress installed

but only a blank page launching the installation!

does anybody have a clue where it could come from?

Cheers

I am going to guess that the single quote in this string is causing you trouble:

$bb->name = 'Le forum des subventions à la création et au développement d'entreprise';

I bet it would work like this, although I don’t know how it will display (escape the single quote/apostrophe):

$bb->name = 'Le forum des subventions à la création et au développement d'entreprise';

I would also bet this would work (double quote the string, no escape):

$bb->name = "Le forum des subventions à la création et au développement d'entreprise";

Good luck

Hi chris,

after your answer i changed the quote a few times and to avoid any problems with french character i changed it this way

$bb->name = ‘Le forum des subventions aux entreprises’;

But I still get a blank page…..

Does anybody have a clue?

[@adriengeille Member 17 years, 4 months ago]

After a few tests it seems the problem comes from the last paragraph

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave it as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.subventions.fr&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.subventions.fr/wordpress&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘.subventions.fr’;

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

require_once(‘/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Where is the error guys?

[@fabianzaf Member 17 years, 4 months ago]

Probably wont work but try making

$bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl both “http://www.subventions.fr/wordpress&#8221;

[@adriengeille Member 17 years, 4 months ago]

Don’t work,

If i delete $bb->wp_home and $bb->wp_siteurl both and leave the address blank ”

here is the message i get…

Does it ring a bell to anyone?

Cannot select DB.
