Does anyone have any ideas?

I’ve been testing this out on an Apache server, and I get the same error when I try to post to a forum from the forum directory page. If I go into a group forum, I can post there. On the windows based server, I click on forums under a group and nothing happens.

I’d really prefer sitewide forums, and I’ve looked at bbpress, but it does not support a forum reply rating system. BP does. I’ve tried installing the site wide forums alongside the groups, but nothing happens when I click the button to install it. Says it’s already installed. Is there another solution I’m missing?

Okay, all the DB info matches up with the wp-config.php.

According to the link, these should be in my database:

yourPrefix_bb_forums
yourPrefix_bb_meta
yourPrefix_bb_posts
yourPrefix_bb_terms
yourPrefix_bb_term_relationships
yourPrefix_bb_term_taxonomy
yourPrefix_bb_topics

Those are all present.

@mercime, Windows server, WP 3.2.1. BP 1.5.2, the only table that mentions forums is one called “wp_bb_forums” and there is a bb-config.php in the root WP installation. Hope that helps!

The error happens even if it is a new group or existing and after toggling the enable forum. I’ve had so many problems installing BP I’m starting to wonder if it will work.

The enable groups option finally shows up, but now I get “You do not have permission to view this directory or page.” when I try to enable a forum under a group.
