BuddyPress.org

I am having the same problem. I’ve traced it down to the fact that when the Buddypress plugin is activated the tables are not created. I started putting die() statements in bp-core.php and found that the install and check install functions were not running.

I went back to bp 1.0.3 and did the install and it worked. The tables were created. Here is my info:

1. Which version of WP/MU are you running?

2.8.6

2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?

directory

3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?

subdirectory

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version?

no clean install

5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.

yes

6. Which version of BP are you running?

tried to install 1.1.3

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

no

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?

no

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?

standard

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?

no

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?

no

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?

came with it built in

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.

In Apache I got:

[Sun Feb 14 10:51:51 2010] [notice] child pid 8139 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

or with different pid each time I tried to install

in php there was this in the log
