Hey Hugo,

I’ve got the bb-config next to wp-config in the root dir. Checked all DB settings and they are matching. Still getting the issue though.

I think I didn’t have the bb-config in my root cause I had previously installed bbpress and I clicked on use existing installation. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it via buddypress and now I’ve got one. I’m yet to check the details against wp-config. Will update here!

Ok I see my problem here. I don’t have a bb-config.php in my root directory. When I find the bb-config, it’s in “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/” AND “wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums” and the file says:

***
* *** IMPORTANT ****
* This file will stop people from accessing your bbPress installation directly.
* It is very important from a security standpoint that this file is not moved.
* Your actual bb-config.php file will be installed in the root of your WordPress
* installation once you have set up the forums component in BuddyPress.
*/

//header(“HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden”);

So in there it says that my actual bb-config is located in my root dir, but I actually don’t have one there. Can I just copy that file over to my root or can I duplicate wp-config and rename to bb-config? Or is there more to it?

Thanks Chris. That would help a lot. Do you know if that works with the latest wordpress? 3.3.1?
