Ah yeh i’ve forgot to mention that i use sub-domain for bbPost and not a URL like www.example.com/forum

My main blog and website is www.nightheaven.co.cc and the forum is located at www.forum.nightheaven.co.cc so might that be a problem?

Oh dear!



bbPress is already installed, but appears to require an upgrade.



Perhaps you meant to run the upgrade script instead?

This is what showes now when the Database Table is active with the current error. Clicking on the Upgrade Script does nothing only refreshes the web-page.

If you want to reinstall, you will need to drop all the bb_ tables from the database. You will get this “upgrade” notice when there are bb_ tables in the database.

It almost looks like you used main_ for your bbPress database table prefix? I hope that is not the table prefix for your WordPress installation. If it is, then using the same prefix for bbPress means the bbPress installer tried to install into your WordPress tables.

I did a lot of installs tonight and best i could come out is that i could create the forums but i have no acces at all at the admin section… Because the email is not sent.

Yes main_ is my WordPress db table prefix.

And i created a new DB as well to try sorting out diferent… But it’s still not working out. BUT i do have the same user table at least… So if i could only get administrator on the same account from WP would be gr8…
