I downloaded the bbpress app and deployed it on my Turnkey LAPP VM. Navigating to /bbpress nets me the bbpress installer page, but when I press the ‘Go to step 1’ button, I get no response, and no errors. I’ve tested the page on chrome and IE, the same thing happens.

I’ve thought of creating the ‘bb-config.php’ file myself and doing a manual configuration, but I wouldn’t know where to start.

Does anyone know either why the install isn’t working, how to find the error logs, or how I can build a config manually?

Much appreciated,

Hi again,

If anyone could just post a generified version of their bb-config.php, I’m sure I can mess with the properties enough to get the damn thing working.

The LAPP stack uses a PostgreSQL server instead of MySQL, so I imagine that could be a possible reason it’s not working, though I’m reticent to use up more time and bandwidth swapping it our for a LAMP VM if it’s just a shot in the dark.

Help me out here, people. I really like the clean l&f of bbpress, but I’m under a little time pressure, and if I don’t get something to go on, I’m just going to have to run up an instance of phpbb or similar.

Please help,

Well, I managed to solve the issue by switching to the LAMP VM. Evidently there is either something wrong with the LAPP VM, or bbpress will only run on MySQL.

Thanks for the help everyone,

bbPress only supports MySQL.
