“Create group” returns me to home

When I try to create a group the URL changes to http://the.site/groups/create/step/group-details/, but the contents shown are the WP Loop, e.g. I never get to enter any group details to create a group.

I am using a very fresh WP 3.1.3 and BP 1.2.8 as well as a couple standard plugins like Akismet, Analytics etc. The theme is the standard bp-default theme that ships with BP. I wiresharked the traffic and there is no 302 redirect to the top level URL (like some other bug reports stated). There is also no output in httpd’s error log.

Some thoughts:
– Have you checked Apache if “Allow Override All” is enabled ( not commented out)?
– Where is your WP installed – at domain root or in subdirectory? If in subdirectory, the subdirectory name should not named the same as that of BP components – Groups, Members, Activity, Forums. If name of subdirectory is same , you would have to “rename” matching BP component name to something else in your wp-config.php file e.g. `define ( ‘BP_GROUPS_SLUG’, ‘sections’ );` or if your subdirectory is named members, `define ( ‘BP_MEMBERS_SLUG’, ‘scouts’ );`

I think I am experiencing the same behavior. (WP 3.1.3 + BP 1.2.. Screencast shows the behavior:

@mercime: I tried AllowOverride All and there was no difference. WP/BP is installed under root, there is no subdirectory. BTW the URL in question is http://planetdsa.gr
@doug.daulton: Your case is a bit different, I’m not even getting to the group create form, I immediately get to the home page even though the address bar says http://planetdsa.gr/groups/create/step/group-details/

I also turned off all plugins but BP itself and the problem is still the same.

@athimm – Thanks for the clarification. Have you done a “tail” on your apache error log? Mine is showing this:
