Thank you for your reply! Is the beta 2 is “BuddyPress Combo Download” or the files found at https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk ?
Here is the file from my error logs.
[Thu Jan 29 22:11:54 2009] [error] [client 24.19.248.43] mod_security: Access denied with code 403. Pattern match “\\.php\\?(([a-zA-Z0-9\\-\\_\\.\\[\\]]*)=(http|https|ftp))” at REQUEST_URI [id “6600001”][rev “1”] [msg “Hsphere Rules 1: experimental rule for most php application attacks. Report false positives”] [severity “CRITICAL”] [hostname “support.mysite.net”] [uri “/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsupport.mysite.net%2F”] [unique_id “SYJv@sz1K2IAAEkMDOo”]
Obviously mod_security is stopping this believing it’s an attack.
One thing I do not want to do is turn off mod_security, as when I look through just today’s logs there are thousands of actual attack attempts. I had no idea I was such a target already…
Is there a way to add exception rules to mod_security?
Or is there a better way to do this so I can use wordpressmu with buddypress?
Thank you. Done it – I’ve installed back from zero because while installing BBpress I messed up the database.
I’ve noticed that the ‘news’ has changed to ‘blog’ in the beta version. How do I changed that ‘blog’ to ‘news’?
Never, that is why I was asking exactly if that is the same error since there is another thread on this:

Yep, backup and replace everything.
Replace the files and maybe hit the main blog dashboard as the “site-admin” to be sure

Basically a test site for checking features before deploying to our main club site. Follows trunk for WPMU, bbPress, and BuddyPress. Check it out.
I’ve downloaded the Beta 2 but couldn’t find any info about upgrading from the previous version. Do I just replace the old file with the new one?
this no longer works…..what changed in BPB2???
its a scrambled looking BuddyPress Bar. I do not want this on my pages, except on the actual USER Profile Page (Member-theme). How do I kill the bar? Its showing up on all pages when logged in.
Two conflicting versions of jquery will give you major headaches. I solved the problem by disabling my plugin’s reliance on it’s own jquery lib altogether. I just relied on bp’s jquery lib which was newer. I don’t know of any other way to solve the issue. Apps that rely on js do not play well together.
I just downloaded and installed WPMU 2.7. It’s awesome!
Much better to start with both 2.7 and Buddypress Beta 2 at the outset.
Thank you Andy for all the hard work

Buddypress? It will be out before you know it, but even grabbing the latest ZIP out of trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/ at the bottom of the screen will work as well.

WPMU was working fine until i installed buddypress though. I first installed WPMU and made sure everything was working, then i installed Buddypress, uploaded the files and when i went back to the site all i get is 500.
I just upgraded WPMU 2.7 R1627 to the final version of WPMU 2.7 running the latest BuddyPress trunk without any issues.
Hey, Im also new here, as seems to be the usual. lol
Im just getting my site up and out of the water. Im working on getting a front theme setup, and Its proving to be a bit of a bastard. Im having alignment troubles, and formatting issues with the widgets in firefox.

This forum, the BP trac, WPMU and bbPress forums are having “caching” issues it seems as things are slow to show up at times when people post. Strange…I reported it the powers that be…
In terms of answering, your answer was more detail anyways!
Trent
Sorry, Trent, I wasn’t trying to add to your answer, as your answer wasn’t there when I started my post. I think we were both answering at the same time…I wasn’t trying to step on your toes.
Your users’ blogs will get whatever template you have set as “default”, which is probably the BuddyPress Home Theme. So do this:
1) Rename the BuddyPress Home Theme something other than “default”.
2) In the dashboard for your main blog (admin), assign the BuddyPress theme to your blog. That’s what users will see when they visit your site, as your “blog” is the site.
3) Choose the theme you want your users to have as their default blog theme.
4) Name your chosen default blog theme “default”.
If you need additional info, let me know.
Mark
Just the member pages, groups, etc should get the buddypress theme. The actual blogs themselves will use whatever the “default” theme is setup for the WPMU installation that you have put buddypress on.

I would go with WPMU 2.7 and buddypress beta 2 (which should be out really soon). If buddypress beta 2 isn’t released, I would come back and ask which version is the most stable out of trunk for your release. WPMU 2.7 is “so much different” than 2.6.5, so it would be nice to get users on it right out of the box instead of changing right away. There are loads of improvements since BP beta 1, but you have to get a development snapshot that works
Long story short, I doubt beta 2 of buddypress will be that long since the tickets are dwindling down….
Trent
WPMU 2.7 was released about 4 hours ago. The latest beta release of buddypress does work on WPMU 2.7, but there are loads of changes since then. The second beta should be making it out here pretty soon, or you can head to https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/trunk and grab the latest development version by getting the zip at the bottom of that page.
