I installed muwordpress (with directories not subdomains) and bbpress and integrated them.. I added

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?forum/(.*) forum/$2 [L,R]

to the .htaccess in the wp directory and it worked before i added the code

define(‘WP_BB’, true);

if ( !defined(‘DB_NAME’) ) {

require_once(‘/home/.atrax/armsteadj/myiowa-news.com/blogs/wp-config.php’);

}

into the bb-config.php file to get integration to work.. now it gives me a loop error..? any ideas on how to get the htaccess file to forward the directory to it?

Thanks!

opps, I mean when i put

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?forum/(.*) forum/$2 [L,R]

it takes it back to the /blog directory.. but when i put

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?forum/(.*) forum/$2 [R,L]

it gives me the redirect error..

Alright, i tested a few more things and it is definitely a problem when i include the wp-config.php file in bb-config.php.. here is the htaccess file im using: if i try and forward it to a directory like “forumtest” with nothing in it it will work perfectly.. and if i take out that require it will load fine as well.. but with errors because it cant find the functions that file defines..

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /blogs/

#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(forum) $2 [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

<IfModule mod_security.c>

That wpmu tag is going to be your best friend:

https://bbpress.org/forums/tags/wpmu

Not many people with wpmu experience here.

I know Trent Adams uses it though (he’s also on IRC)

Also, wpmu 2.6 is a no-go with bbPress 0.9 because of cookies.

thanks _ck_,

It seems to be a problem with when you include the wp-config… There must be a check somewhere in one of the files included in it that checks if that has been registered or is a banned blog, and wp-admin must be hardcoded in somewhere to be a safe directory.. i just havent had time to go through and look for where that happens.. been making a bunch of other customizations instead, as this problem can be solved by just using sub-domains..
