My mistake, I didn’t communicate my issue properly. Guess it was lack of sleep. This is a bbPress/WordPress/BuddyPress issue and I am hoping somebody out there knows what I’m doing wrong.
If I could delete this post I would to start over.
I installed bbPress into WordPress/BuddyPress site. Following the bbPress installation instructions, I uploaded bbPress into a folder and renamed it “forum.”
I pointed my browser to the install page and filled out the three step form and all seemed to go well. I got an email from the bbPress installer stating that my installation was successful.

This is my issue:
In order to integrate bbPress into my WordPress/BuddyPress site, I need to use the “Forum Setup” option under the BuddyPress panel in the WordPress admin area. When I attempted to use the option offered to me labeled “Use an existing bbPress installation” I am asked for the location of my bb-config.php file. When I put in the path, I get this message:
“The bb-config.php file was not found at that location, please try again.”
I have tried using the path from the root of my server with and without using the actual bb-config.php file name.
I have tried using the absolute path using my domain name with and without the file name above and with and without the “.www” in the path.
I cannot think of any more possible ways to direct my site to know where bb-config.php is located. I can see it on the server and can open it. Nothing I can see is out of place.
Anyone familiar with this issue? Thanks.

I now see that I did need to keep this at BuddyPress. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Yeah you’re best place to get support would be BuddyPress, while it’ll integrate with bbPress, I believe they do some cool stuff with code to make it possible, you’ll also get a much quicker response!

Yeah, I did get the help I needed there and if I could have removed my post I would have. I feel like a litterbug.

Oh don’t worry about it, I’ll see if we can get the thread locked!

BuddyPress is not compatible with the bbPress plugin yet. (You can BuddyPress and bbPress perfectly alongside eachother though, just disable the forum components of BuddyPress).
A new version of BuddyPress is coming out soon (JJJ said so, that’s why they’re working on buddypress.org this week) and I think that one will be compatible with the plugin.

Ok I see, just read something which solved my problem..
“BuddyPress allows you to install a forked version of bbPress. It is not the same as this bbPress.”
I was getting stumped on the fact the integrated version didnt have admin menus like the standalone bbpress does..
