oh, cool — I was almost going to give up! O_O

I will try this and post my SUCCESS (crossing fingers

[@online Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

I *finally* got an answer (actually I got it yesterday already .

A representative from my hosting provider wrote to me say that I could place a php.ini file in any directory I wanted to make modifications, but that they could not help / provide support for issues with php. So I am completely without a clue what to do next. O_O

Help?

[@online Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I sent them a message a couple hours ago (but don’t know how fast they will respond since it’s Sunday).

I’ve disabled the 2 other plugins, but I’ve left plw123_true_http_host.php in place (since otherwise not even wpmu would work).

I hope I can get this to work, because I am really eager to use BP.

I might have found some additional clues about this problem. Seeing as I had only created mu + bp, I only had an admin account — so I decided to sign up for a regular user-account.

Signup link didn’t work either, but login link did — then on the standard login page I clicked register and got wp-signup.php in the navigation bar plus these error messages:

Does that help any? O_O

Thanks Jeff — good question!

1. Which version of WPMU are you running?

WordPress MU 2.8.6.

2. Did you install WPMU 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 WPMU? If so, from which version?

Nope.

5. Was WPMU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress?

Yea, mostly (except that I had to install plugin to dealt with “www” subdomain issue [see above / top] )

6. Which version of BuddyPress (BP) are you running?

Latest (1.1.3)

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

Nope.

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

Yea, “GD Star-Rating” + “Visitor Maps and Who’s Online” (I guess I could do without this one if Buddypress would work )

Standard

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

Nope.

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

Nada.

I clicked to istall forums, but haven’t touched that since (absolute beginner with that)

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

None (at least not that I can see)

14. Which company provides your hosting?

“Freenet.DE” (I think somehow affiliated with either GMX or Strato )

Bonus: trying to set it up here >> http://saarpfalz.org/x/

perhaps the problem is that I had “create accounts” locked when I installed buddypress — does the installation actually create “members”, “groups”, etc blogs (and couldn’t, so that’s why it can’t find them)?

[@online Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

that’s what I started out with — so basically both (2) folders get moved into the theme folder, right?

[@online Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I think the problem may actually be the placement of the buddypress themes (this is not explained anywhere that I can find). I just watched the video about installing on a Mac and I’m trying to figure out where it should be placed (hope I don’t break anything)…
