BuddyPress.org

OK. I withdraw my recommendation for Site5. They are no different than other shared hosting and won’t respond well to BuddyPress, based on the warnings I get for my non-BP sites.

Thanks.!

Don’t ask why I didn’t tried this before I asked. Here in Norway, we are pretty lazy so I think it explains the most.

– And I don’t have any trouble understanding your english

Another option is iMountain (imountain.com). They offer clustered hosting to VPS to dedicated, without cpu processing limits.

@hudatoriq – and it shoudl worry you. On a shared host, you will *always* hit inodes or sql limits before you use up a tenth of bandwidth or space.

yes, I *did* get kicked off shared hosting. This was before buddypress, and I only had a couple hundred users.

If you plan on being any size, get a VPS. We not not recommend shared hosting for WPMU. Add Buddypress to it and you’re adding a lot more processing. Shared hosting will not be able to handle it.

What? I live in Saratoga Springs, but I grew up right at the bottom of Millcreek canyon. Heart of the Olympus Cove…

SLC, olympus cove to be exact. You?

Creede, your site looks great. I am in Utah too, where are you guys at?

I’d love any feedback…

Still not officially launched, but running the latest from buddypress.

Check out Petomundo!

Here’s my alpha site that could be much beta…

Maybe you should uploaded a language file for WPMU too. And this will let MU can active the languages ‘select list’ in backend.

WPMU (Core) and BP always change them language at the same time. So when you change the language of MU. The BP’s will change too.

Hope you understand my poor English. Ha……

Thanks for the tip!

Yesterday I reinstalled for what I had hoped was to be the last time (at least for a little while) worpressmu and buddypress using the subdirectory rather than subdomain option for new blogs. My plan was to simply create a news blog, since that works (as noted by chriscarter) — it isn’t as elegant because you can’t use the buddypress home theme (unless you want whole new buddypress blog with its own useres, etc.). Nevertheless, it works.

I just checked with bluehost, and they told me that I cannot use the subdomain option on bluehost. Maybe that simply means I need to modify the database DNS wildcard, but for the moment I am sticking with subdirectories for blogs and a new news blog — and hoping I can find a way to fiddle with the appropriate php code in buddypress wpmu.

Please feel free to check out the site, just realize its very alpha and could be much beta ; ) — http://whiteblackthepenguin.net/

Ok, thanks !

So all I really have to do, is create the buddypress-xx.po and .mo, and upload them to the same folder as the template file?

I am guessing now, but how do I actually “activate” my language? Is this still in the WPMU wp-config.php file?

Thanks for helping me out on this one.!

Languages files must named as buddypress-xx_XX.po and .mo.

DO NOT replace the buddypress.po file. It is just a template file.

Yes, I tried to view it on IE6: buttons disappeared, message encroached.

I am having a similar problem.

When I go to my ‘news section,’ I get an ‘Error 404 – Not Found’ message in the blog area.

I reinstalled wpmu, but chose the subdomain option instead of the sub-directory option for new blogs. I then was able to get to the news blog (root blog), but could not create new blogs that work — the URL bumps me to OpenDNS and the mesage ‘We did not find any results for: [ blog.mydomain] Please try a new query above’ Note: my server is bluehost.

I have reinstalled everything a couple of times using both approaches and get the same results

So… unless I can figure this out, I have to choose between not having a functioning news section under buddypress, or no being able to create new blogs.

I actually have one problem when trying to translate this file…

I use Poedit to translate the file, and when I’m done I save the file. After saving, I replace the allready existing language-file in /pb-languages/ with the file I’ve translated. The wierd thing is, that the language I translate into does not update on my installation of BuddyPress.

Is there any kind of settings I will have to change before the language I’ve translated into should be activated or something like that?

– Thanks.!

Andy,

I think I figured out what was causing the problem. When I originally installed WordPress MU, I had had to re-install it a few time until I got it right. File permissions weren’t set properly at the time of installation, etc. When I went into my “Sites” are of the Admin Settings panel, I found that I had about a half dozen sites listed, all with the same name. I deleted all except for the most current installation and now I am able to upload the avitar images. This multiple site listing didn’t seem to affect any other site functionality, WordPress MU or BuddyPress related. Just wanted to let you know the problem and the solution.

Best,

Steve

guys slicehost is the best hosting if real developer loves it. and it is takeover by rackspace now.

Sorry, not getting where buddyPress is installed and how you have wpmu configured. There are some options for installing wpmu first of all. It can be installed in the document root or in a subdir. Originally wpmu had to be installed in the doc root for bp to work. I heard a rumor that bp now works with wpmu installed in a subdir of the apache root. True? I don’t know. That’s the first option.

Second option is you can run wpmu with subdomains or subdirectories. You can have your URIs look like whatablog.mysite.org or mysite.org/whatablog.

@CriticalTodd it looks like you installed bp in a subdir off the doc root called ../bp is that correct? bp is installed in the wpmu /wp-content/mu-plugins dir. I’m kinda confused.

Here’s my setup that works:

1) wpmu is installed using subdomains not subdirectories in the apache document root

/var/www/mydedicatedvirtualsite.org/httpdocs/(allsortsofwpmudirsandfiles)

mysite.org launches wpmu

2) buddyPress is installed in the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory

/var/www/mydedicatedvirualsite.org/httpdocs/wp-content/mu-plugins/(lotsofbuddypress)

3) buddyPress themes get put in /wp-content/themes

/var/www/mydedicatedvirualsite.org/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/buddypress-home

/var/www/mydedicatedvirualsite.org/httpdocs/wp-content/themes/buddypress-member

However you have wpmu configured when it comes to subdomains or subdirs for creating member blogs, bp goes in ../wp-content/mu-plugins and ../wp-content/themes

How do you have your site configured?

Andy,

First thanks for all your hard work making BuddyPress happen. As a graphic and UI/UX designer, please let me know if I can help the project in some way.

I installed BuddyPress yesterday with the latest trunk r544 and everything seems to be woking fine except when a new user attempts to upload an Avitar at initial signup. The following error is thrown: Upload Failed! Your photo dimensions are likely too big.

This error occurs no matter what the size of the image being uploaded. Even a jpg 20 X 20px returns this error. You can view this error by adding a new blog at http://www.ziely.com

If I add a user manually in the admin and then login as that new user, I can successfully add an avitar no problem. The problem only occurs at initial signup for a new blog. Any thoughts? Can I disable the avitar upload requirement for the time being untill the issue is resolved?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Very best,

Steve

Anybody using hostgator or ever heard some problems using WPMU on their shared hosting? I’m interested with their baby hosting package, unlimited space & bandwith. But the inodes limit of 250,000 is worrying me.
