I’ve tried to install bbPress in a several different locations, but i always get an errormessage at Step4:

---

Installation failed! The database failed to install. You may need to replace bbPress with a fresh copy and start again. Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

Step 1 – Creating database tables

>>> Database installation failed!!!

>>>>>> Halting installation!

---

I cleared the database tables also and retried to install. But with no success. We use PHP 5+ and MySQL 4.1 on Suse Linux. I also tried to chmod some directories. No success.

As i took a closer look at the code, i can report that the errors is thrown from class-install.php on line 1513: $alterations = bb_install(); after doing a print_r on the alterations array, i can see it has now values.

EDIT:

further debugging shows the following errors:

Key master could not be created!

Forum could not be created!

So it seems, that the forum couldn be created. If i create it manually. The frontend works. but when i try to login to the admin panel, i always get redirected to the frontend without an error.

maybe this could help…

What version of bbPress did you try to install?

I’ve seen it before but I’ve figured out why it happens.
