I know my config file is right and the database name, user and password are ok. I installed WordPress no problem.

when I go to /bbpress , I get the inital screen where you enter the details but as soon as I went to step 2 I just got a blank screen. As soon as there is a config file I get nothing !!.

I’ve looked in the errors and I see “open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/bb-includes/db.php) is not within the allowed path(s):”

Is open_basedir the problem?

Thanks

There are no other errors but that one?

What type of host OS are you using?

What version bbPress did you install?

Are you integrating with WordPress and if so, what version?

Hi,

The site is hosted by a Plesk enviroment which runs linux. bbpress version the latest beta and the current stable one. I intend to integrate it with wordpress but I did’t even get that far.

It sounds like the blank screen is from a 500 Internal Server error. Maybe there’s a syntax problem in the bb-config.php?

You had this problem with the alpha and the stable release, same problem?

Are there other server error logs you can look at?

Or, how about this?

This is from my log. I’ve checked the config syntax and copied it many times to make sure it was ok.

I’ll have a look at that link thanks as I can contact the guy who runs the server.

are mod rewrites enabled?

From those additional errors, I think it would be good to contact the host. It might all be related to security on the server (selinux or suhosin or some php configuration?)
