    hi there

    First ,you are saying that it is a directory install ,which is not correct as you are mentioning that you made sure ,the blogs get address like user.yoursite.com [It is called subdomain style]

    Now for this to work, you need to configure your wildcard DNS and sub domains.

    If you on a capanel it is very easy.Login to cpanel,create a subdomain *,like say *.yoursite.com and go and check again ,the blog should be working now.

    Hope it helps.

    So I have to do this everytime a user signs up?

    I just want it to work like testbp.org

    no,just enable wildcard subdomain for one time.

    All the new and existing signups will work seamlessly.

    make sure you have at least one subdomain like *.yoursite.com

    Ok, it looks like it’s working after I did http://kb.siteground.com/article/How_to_enable_wildcard_subdomains.html

    But then I now have a small issue. When I type in some random subdomain.mydomain.com it’s taking me to http://mydomain.com/wp-signup.php?new=subdomain but all blank!

    What kind of a configuration did I miss? Also, I really have no idea hopw the bbForum works, I click on the “forum” and just can’t find a link to open up a new forum :P

    Thanks a lot Brajesh! However, can you tell me how to uninstall the forum I have installed using BuddyPress and do a clean bbForum install and integrate them?

    Also, one more big question

    Let’s say I have a cPanel account, and have ability to Add On Domains. Say, I want my to install something like Joomla in my /public_html and then add a domain.com which means I also will have domain.com folder inside /public_html right? Can I install BuddyPress that way? Will it work just fine?

    hi there

    well,so your subdomain style issue is solved.

    For the random non existing subdomain behavior is expected by wpmu.since you are using buddypress default theme ,so you will not be able to see wp-signup.php and it is one of the most discussed topic here in forum.just search it.

    If you are trying to create forums (as you may be thinking of standalone forum in bbpress),this is not implemented in that way in buddypress.In buddypress ,the bbpress (internal integration) is used for creating forums with groups and they do not have a separate admin.You can enable forum from group admin screen for a particular group.

    As far as I know and my experiences with shared hosting,you won’t be able to install wordpress mu on addon domains.If you are able to install wpmu on addon domain ,then buddypress should work without any problem.

    Yup, it is resolved with your great help. Thanks a lot. I will try to install WPMU on Add On’ed domain and see how it goes :P Also, is BuddyPress.org using their BuddyPress or just a WordPress? Because this Theme is… Something beautiful :D

    hehe.. you are most welcome :)

    Yeh buddypress.org is using buddypress but the theme is a custom theme which is not available freely :) ,so you may have to wait until Andy decides to make this theme available for everyone.but I don’t think so,as He will like to keep the look of this site unique :)
