Hello,

I’m trying to install bbPress on an IIS 6 server.

The installation script appears to have completed successfully and can be viewed at the following URL:

http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums

Unfortunately, there appear to be a few problems with the installation as follows:

1) When clicking on “Your first topic” in Firefox, I receive the following error:

“Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete”

Browsing the link in IE 7 just appears to hang the browser

2) The admin home page appears to work, but n closer inspection the shortcuts “Dashboard, Users, Content and Site Management” all have incorrect paths:

“http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/forums/bb-admin/index.php”

instead of

http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal/forums/bb-admin/index.php

I think my config.php is ok:

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal’;

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’;

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Does anybody have any ideas that may help me (other than move the forum to Apache that is!).

TIA

Dave

oh, i got it,

“WHAT IS move the forum to apache?”, hehehe!, jeopardy joke!

Problem #1)

Your redicection problem. It seems that your page “A” is directing to page “B” which is directing BACK to page “A”. So your stuck in a loop. Firefox is smart enough to recognize this. IE is’nt (surprize surprize). Spend a bit more time on it, and keep that in mind. However, the solution to your second problem may solve the first one.

Problem #2)

Okay, instead of

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.med.cam.ac.uk/confocal’;

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’;

try

$bb->domain = ‘http://www.med.cam.ac.uk’;

$bb->path = ‘/confocal/forums/’;

Hope that works,

Thanks Mozey – that did it.

Maybe I should stick to microscopes….

Thanks for the speedy reply.
