Hi there, I’ve scoured the boards here for a solution to this issue but have only thus far found another instance of the problem. I’m running a WPMU install here and a bbPress install here.

Everything seems to be working fine, short URL’s included, except for user authentication. I can only login through WordPress. Login attempts through bbPress fail with incorrect account info, but don’t do anything with a correct user/pw combination either. WPMU is creating a cookie that bbPress uses, but bbPress seems to be incapable of creating that same cookie I think? Or..? Any ideas?

Try the following:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

define(‘BBDB_NAME’, ‘bbpress_dbname’); // The name of the database

define(‘BBDB_USER’, ‘bbpress_username’); // Your MySQL username

define(‘BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password

define(‘BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

define(‘USER_BBDB_NAME’, ‘wpmu_db_name)’); //your WPMU DB name

define(‘USER_BBDB_USER’, ‘wpmu_db_username’); // Your WPMU DB username

define(‘USER_BBDB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password

define(‘USER_BBDB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple forums in a single database.

$bb_table_prefix = ‘bb_’; // Only letters, numbers and underscores please!

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

define(‘CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’, ‘wp_usermeta’);

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://hadithuna.com&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/forums/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘Hadithuna Communnity Forums’;

// This must be set before running the install script.

$bb->admin_email = ‘webmaster@hadithuna.com’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

// The number of topics that show on each page.

$bb->page_topics = 30;

// A user can edit a post for this many minutes after submitting.

$bb->edit_lock = 60;

// Your timezone offset. Example: -7 for Pacific Daylight Time.

$bb->gmt_offset = 0;

// Change this to localize bbPress. A corresponding MO file for the

// chosen language must be installed to bb-includes/languages.

// For example, install de.mo to bb-includes/languages and set BBLANG to ‘de’

// to enable German language support.

define(‘BBLANG’, ”);

$bb->usercookie = ‘wordpressuser’;

$bb->passcookie = ‘wordpresspass’;

$bb->cookiedomain = ‘hadithuna.com’; // or .example.com if there was a . above

$bb->cookiepath = ‘/’;

// Your Akismet Key. You do not need a key to run bbPress, but if you want to take advantage

// of Akismet’s powerful spam blocking, you’ll need one. You can get an Akismet key at

// http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

$bb->akismet_key = false;

// define(‘CUSTOM_USER_TABLE’, ‘wp_users’);

// The rest is only useful if you are integrating bbPress with WordPress.

// If you’re not, just leave the rest as it is.

$bb->wp_table_prefix = false; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = false; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash

$bb->wp_siteurl = false; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash

/* Stop editing */

define(‘BBPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’ );

require_once( BBPATH . ‘bb-settings.php’ );

?>

Oh; hmm I think I may have muddled up some of the domain names in the config file..

edit: yup! everything’s all peachy. now, back to scratching my head at the site-wide tags problem like everyone else..
