login between my wpmu installation and my bbpress seem to work okay but when I click on a topic link on the frontpage I get a page not found error from my wpmu installation…

WPMU: http://www.mpm.org.au (blog signup disabled but you can sign up as a user)

BBPress: http://www.mpm.org.au/community/

Previously I did have it all working but only with WP single not MU.

Any help would be much appreciated!

This is my config file:

<?php

// ** MySQL settings ** //

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

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

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

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

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

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

// 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://www.mpm.org.au&#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 = ‘/community/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’

// What are you going to call me?

$bb->name = ‘MakePeace Media LTD’;

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

$bb->admin_email = ‘myemail’;

// Set to true if you want pretty permalinks.

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

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

$bb->page_topics = 15;

// 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’, ”);

// 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 = ‘xxxx’; // Example: ‘xxxx’

// 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 = ‘wp_’; // WordPress table prefix. Example: ‘wp_’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.mpm.org.au&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: Blog address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.mpm.org.au&#8217;; // WordPress – Options->General: WordPress address (URL) // No trailing slash. Example: ‘http://example.com&#8217;

if ( isset( $bb->wp_table_prefix ) ){

$bb->usercookie = “wordpressuser”;

$bb->passcookie = “wordpresspass”;

}

/* Stop editing */

if ( !defined(‘BBPATH’) )

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

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

?>

It seems to be an .htaccess conflict … check your rules.

I have .htaccess in my community directory for permalinks that says:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /community/

RewriteRule ^community/([0-9]+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /community/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

I have .htaccess in my root that says:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteRule . – [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L]

RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*.php)$ $2 [L]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

and .htaccess.dist in root that says

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase BASE/

#uploaded files

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

RewriteRule . index.php [L]

Is there an .htaccess in the directory one level above? .htaccess rules are additive, I think. So if there is one in the directory one level up, those could be conflicting with the .htaccess you have in the community directory.

edit: sorry, I just reread all the notes you posted. I don’t understand enough about .htaccess to know what the problem is. SamBauers here has made several posts about .htaccess.

Here’s one:

Thanks guys.

Permalinks set to off in config fixes the problem so I better have a better look at how to set that up properly.
