I have a thread going on over at the BuddyPress forums, ( http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2027&replies=14#post-10855 ) I’m posting the summary here in case anyone can help.

“I’m running latest WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, bbPress 1.0-Alpha-6, latest BuddyPress, r1324

I an on a shared hosting service with HeartInternet.co.uk

WPMU works fine on its own, bbPress works fine on its own, BuddyPress works fine, however:

When I update groups to “Enable discussion forum” the forum isn’t created.

Users are shared fine, cookies shared, even admin login to bbPress works properly.”

Having gone through everything (many times…), I ran the xml-rpc test scripts and get the following error:

-32300 >> transport error – could not open socket: 111 Connection refused

Has anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Thx.

Sounds like port 111 (RPC) is disabled on your host. Have you tried contacting them?

Hi mypop I followed your advice on buddypress. Thanks it all worked. Before I had mu 2.7 and I could unlock discussions and then allow it again. This created the forum etc. But when I upgraded to WPMU branch 2.7.1r1715, all else as you have it, I could not follow the procedure. The only way was to delete the group and re-create it.

I am with Hostgator on a shared server.

My issue now is to find why my logins are not shared.

Gone of searching…

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I’m experiencing a similar issue with BuddyPress, bbPress + XMLRPC.

Using the XMLRPC debugger that mypop used (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forums-not-being-created?replies=14#post-11107), I get this error:

-32700 >> parse error. not well formed

My issues are explained on the BuddyPress forums as well:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

I’ve fixed my problem.

Turns out my bbPress xmlrpc.php was the wrong filesize.

I uploaded the xmlrpc.php from the release package and now all is fine and dandy again!

r-a-y, you’re a lifesaver. I was having the same problem (and pounding my head against the wall) until I found this post. Thanks.
