Cold war fiction website.
Almost finished, just ironing out the differences between firefox and ie.
Once done will have a go at installing mediawiki too.
Comments on the theme would be great as not visually great at these things.
Thanks to Mike @ AvenueK9 as his template was the base for the site.
Okay, why don’t both of you go through this list to see if there are other commonalities:

Please post your response to those questions here.
I tried downloading wpmu 2.7.0 and bp 1.0.1 – only the budypress activation returns error 500 in this case, the rest of the site continues to function.
Yeah, Jeremiah. That’s how it happens.
John, WordPress MU (2.7.1) is working fine. It’s when I upload BuddyPress (1.0.2) that i get the error. My admin panel, the public blog, everything becomes Error 500 in the browser once I upload the files.
I can still see everything fine in the ftp explorer [Filezilla]
I am using WPMU v2.7.2 and BuddyPress v1.0.1; the information submitted in my Registration form is not showing up in their profiles. It worked with several of my first members, but new registration its not working. The only information in their profile is their Username, no other information that was required to be filled out upon registration. What is wrong? Thanks in advance.
@Andy and John James
Thanks for the clarification, i will post a bug report—and i have to say I am loving the Buddypressification of UMW Blogs. Adds a whole ‘nother dimension!
Step 1 – Download latest version of WordPress MU (2.7.1)
Step 2 – install on server and verify it is working
Step 3 – Download latest version of BuddyPress (1.0.2)
Step 4 – copy to the plugins directory
Result
Error 500 on all pages
Thanks Andy,
but meanwhile, while I want to “test” how it looks before sharing it with the world should I be able to install it and check how it would be? That’s what I am trying to accomplish for the moment because there doesn’t seem to be an elaborate document on how to install language files for other languages in buddypress. AT LEAST I haven’t found any.
After that I will go on to another language (kirundi), . . .
I just did a query on the members table then did a for each on the results. and for each group run the buddypress function:
global $wpdb;
$groups = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM wp_bp_groups order by name”, ARRAY_A);
foreach ($groups as $group) :
bp_group_has_members(‘group_id=’.$group[‘id’].’&exclude_admins_mods=false’)
Then $group[‘name’] will get you the members name.
Hope that helps you!

Topic reopened per plugin developer.
Let’s keep it on point people.
Possible that the themes are missing or deactivated somehow. Are you able to access the admin area? If so, can you make sure you have a member theme active and in the correct location? Same with your home theme?
I am getting a server error 500 every time I try to upload BuddyPress 1.0.2.
I uploaded buddypress 1.0.2 to the plugins folder – result = error 500
I installed buddypress 1.0.2 from the plugins panel – result = error 500
This is on a fresh WordPress mu 2.7.1 installation.
What am i doing wrong?
The only plugins that need to be deactivated are those that are dependent upon BuddyPress. So, if you don’t have any of those in mu-plugins, you should be fine keeping them as is.
Andy is working on some code that will automatically deactivate all BP-dependent plugins whenever BP gets deactivated. Of course, this code will need to be retroactively added to all current BP plugins out there, but I imagine plugin devs will simply add this coding to one of their next versions.
I would imagine you’d be best to take the plugins out of mu-plugins and put them in a new folder called “temp”, upgrade BP, and then replace the files back into mu-plugins.
The reason why this is necessary (for now) is because plugins that depend on BuddyPress being active do not have a dedicated way to check for its existence, and will die when BP isn’t there.
This will be addressed in future versions.
You shouldn’t be getting an error if you are using a recent version of bp. Not sure exactly when this got introduced but the current version give out an error message like this ‘[Adjust Time Zone]’ in place of the invalid recent activity date.
From this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2437#post-13341
The problem is you need to adjust your time zone. 
For the "time since" to work correctly, the timezone setting
for your root blog has to match the time on your server.
You can change it under "Settings > General" in your /wp-admin/ area.

I believe that all plugins (including BP) have to be deactivated before upgrading to the latest version?
But I also have a bunch of plugins in the mu-plugins folder. Those cannot be deactivated (can they?). Do I need to do something about those before I hit the upgrade button to avoid issues?
Actually a short step by step tutorial to upgrade buddypress versions would be great. Sorry if thats a really newbie question.
I am running BP 1.0
There is a translation svn repo in the works. From the buddypress-dev mailing list 6/25/2009:
“The plan is in the next week or two to have a subversion repository set up for your language files. Each time you make a change, please keep the repo up to date with the latest version. I’ll give a weeks notice when a launch is close, so you can make sure your translations are up to date.
I’ll then take the latest for each language and bundle them in the bp-languages folder.”

I just finished doing the swahili translation but so far I haven’t found a valid “translation document”. All I get is the wordpress translation file.
My question: How do I get buddypress to pick up the swahili files before I make them public ?
Hello,
I have seen this issue arise a few time on the forums, though no clear resolution that I can make out. I recently got BuddyPress working with WPMu’s Multi-DB setup (thanks to D’Arcy Norman posts here: http://www.darcynorman.net/2009/06/25/buddypress-and-multidb/) and everything is fine save the Blogs Directory which is throwing the following error:
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/umwblogs/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php on line 985
I have seen that some folks link it to the themes, plugins, or even a time zone issue, none of these seem to be the case for me. You can see the error in action here:
http://umwblogs.org/blogs
And if anyone has some feedback or potential tips that would be much appreciated.
Best,
Jim
In case anyone is interested, D’Arcy Norman figured out the fix to the Multi-DB issue:
http://www.darcynorman.net/2009/06/25/buddypress-and-multidb/
I have not heard of one. Your best bet, as I said, is to contact the developers of those plugins and ask them if the are working on supporting BuddyPress.
You could also post a suggestion here or, if you’re willing to pay for the development of such a plugin, post a job here.
@airblastor
There’s no need to double post. You’ve already started a thread 5 days ago with this same basic topic here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=3268#post-17974
As DJPaul told you in that thread, he is working on an achievements plugin. It takes time to code proper plugins. So, if you do not have the skills yourself, then you’ll need to be patient and wait for it to be released.
Integrating P2 as a member theme is better cos it would seem like the New facebook Theme with a twitter feel if done using one column like the buddypress.org site!
Thank you so much …..Plrk
Problem is solved . after install 4 times now sucess..
