wp_remote_get() is a new function to 2.7 it lives in wp-includes/http.php

Looks like the http.php file is new to 2.7. Problems there in some instances?

[Burt Adsit]

Things go south at wp_remote_get() inside /wp-includes/comment.php discover_pingback_uri()

[Burt Adsit]

This is why I’m looking at the environment the code is running in and not the code anymore. Same code on windows dev server as live server. Same .htaccess files. Essentially the same httpd.conf files for apache.

Gonna go look for small animals to hurt soon.

[Burt Adsit]

When bbpress_Live_Fetch obj’s constructor is called it calls $this->set_endpoint(). If it can’t get a valid endpoint then query is gonna always fail. set_endpoint() calls discover_pingback_server_uri() and it fails inside there with 404.

[Burt Adsit]

And also $this->options

array(4) { [“target_uri”]=> string(37) “http://ourcommoninterest.org/bbpress/” [“username”]=> string(4) “bpbb” [“password”]=> string(6) “xxx” [“always_use_auth”]=> bool(false) }

no the password is not ‘xxx’ and yes it is correct.

Hi Andy, here ya go:

bool(false) object(IXR_Error)#292 (2) { [“code”]=> int(-32300) [“message”]=> string(114) “transport error – could not open socket: 0 php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known” }

[Andy Peatling]

Please uncomment line 462 of bp-forums-bbpress-live.php

//var_dump( $client->message, $client->error ); die;

Then try and view or post in the forums.

Can you then paste when you get in here (minus anything sensitive)

Thanks

I think that what we are experiencing here is an apache phenomenon.

We can’t all be setting this up improperly. Besides, I’ve got it working on a windows dev server just fine. It’s running the same vers of all 3 software components. bp, bb, mu. Same.

I’m telling you people that when I dig down in the bowels of the code the reason that things are failing is wp_remote_get(‘your_very_own_url_to_bbpress’). It’s returning 404 and nothing happens after that. Well, things happen happily along as usual but everything above that just can’t work without that ‘pingback uri’ that it is looking for.

So why is a valid url for the bbpress root returning 404? Apache and it’s wonderful .htaccess files control that response. If following it’s internal .htaccess rules that exist in the mu root and the bbpress root, if it decides that what you are requesting doesn’t exist, then it just plain doesn’t. To apache. Returns 404.

I don’t know how anyone else has bbpress installed but mine is like so:

mu root = myhappydomain.org/

bbpress root = myhappydomain.org/bbpress/

The .htaccess conditions and rules in mu dir get processed first. Then the ones in the bbpress dir get looked at.

HANGON: gotta run go do something but i’m hitting ‘save’ first. brb

Same here bebopcool, I’m running the new bbPress zip and the trunk WPMU and BuddyPress and have successfully integrated users but can’t get the cookies to work, which I assume is what’s preventing the forum from working. I too have the forum on the group page, but posting on fails.

I can login with my admin account and the new bbpress admin and post directly to the forum but it doesn’t seem to be communicating with BuddyPress.

[bebopcool]

bdpress trunk 658

wpmu trunk 1574

bbpress : alpha 3

burtadsit thanks for the info about .hataccess file in bbpress it is ok now for user profile

i gave the admin status to the buddypress forum user

and o also upgraded to bbpress alpha 3

but still not working : the forum is created but i cannot post

it seems i have a pb with cookie integration because a user logged with bdpress is not automatically logged in bbpress but i do not see where….

it tried to post with the bdpress forum user and logged manually with the same user in bbpress but it is still not working

[gogoplata]

Good luck! Still no success for me and I’ve tried just about everything I can think of. If I can’t get it working soon I’m going to start with a fresh copy of bbPress again and hope for better results.

[Burt Adsit]

I’m off to try this again. The SVN logs show that the bbpress guys have been busy.

[bearuser]

oh, and forum is at http://campaignmessage.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=5

there you can see the user is correct……..it is just the avatar that isn’t.

[bearuser]

Mine is now posting. (still some issues with user avatars.)

Don’t know what did it except the new bbpress trunk, and then creating a new group.

http://campaignmessage.com (look at group “user switching”)

[gogoplata]

I’ve been working on this all morning but haven’t had much luck so far using trunk WPMU and the new zip bbPress. I have the users integrated between WPMU and bbPress but can’t get the cookies/SSO to work. Anyone else get it setup yet?

[gogoplata]

As Andy said they might, it looks like the bbPress team has bumped it up to Alpha 3 and updated the zip.

[net3s]

It works with the last bbPress trunk and backpress.

[net3s]

I think you need backpress.

http://backpress.automattic.com/

[bearuser]

I keep getting a “backpress” error when trying to intall trunk bbpress.

[gogoplata]

I’ve been trying to install bbPress using the trunk but I can’t get it to work at all – the forums just load white/blank instead of the installer. I’ve installed and integrated the 1.0 Alpha zip no problem but have had no luck with the latest revision, including manually.

[Andy Peatling]

Okay – are people downloading the alpha zip of bbPress form bbpress.org?

If so – it will not work, as it does not contain some needed new functions in the trunk.

I’m talking with Sam and he is going to update the zip file to the latest. For now – please check out bbpress trunk for subversion and use that. Let me know if that works.

[Burt Adsit]

@wardeh, bearuser

I’m having the same problems. The forums aren’t getting created because bp tries to go verify and get an url to use from bbpress. bbpress is reporting 404 for me when bp (actually mu) tries to get that url from bbpress. It’s the url in group forums admin screen.

On a dev machine I’ve got running everything works fine. On the live server it doesn’t because of that. Still trying to debug it. If anyone wants to lend a different perspective the failure is in:

function discover_pingback_server_uri($url, $deprecated = 2048) {

$pingback_str_dquote = 'rel="pingback"';

$pingback_str_squote = 'rel='pingback'';

/** @todo Should use Filter Extension or custom preg_match instead. */

$parsed_url = parse_url($url);

if ( ! isset( $parsed_url ) ) // Not an URL. This should never happen.

return false;

$response = wp_remote_get( $url, array( 'timeout' => 2, 'httpversion' => '1.1' ) );

if ( is_wp_error( $response ) )

return false;

if ( isset( $response ) )

return $response;

// Not an (x)html, sgml, or xml page, no use going further.

if ( isset( $response ) && preg_match('#(image|audio|video|model)/#is', $response) )

return false;

$contents = $response;

[snip] and other junk beyond that…

That lives in /wp-includes/comment.php

The param $url is fine. It’s what is in the group forums admin screen. The point of failure is when it gets a $response back from wp_remote_get(). It gets 404. So functions higher up the food chain that eventually call this think that there isn’t a ‘pingback server uri’. So nothing happens. No forum creation. No forum, no topics. No nothing.

That’s as far as I’ve gotten with this. Usually explaining it makes it clearer but not this time. Gotta go delve into bbpress and see why it’s returning 404 for a simple ‘gimme the header and your html for the url where you live’.

[bearuser]

installed, integrated, user created, upgraded to admin, pluggin installed, plugin activated, xml etc enabled, pingbacks enabled, wpmu->group forums updated, group created, (if I missed something in the list I did it…read the install several times) error message received:

“There was an error posting that topic.”

The forum was created for the group

I am running BP on a shared account.

[Wardee]

Thanks, Burt.

Now I am able to edit users.

Still can’t get forum posts to work. Any suggestions?

Question: Do I have to do the user mapping in Settings > WordPress Integration in the bb-admin?

[Burt Adsit]

wardeh and others,

there is a little link to an .htaccess file you need to put in the bbpress directory. In bbpress settings > general settings > pretty permalink types you’ll see a notice that you need to create a .htaccess file with a link to ‘privided here’. Cut and paste, send it up to your bbpress root directory.

bbpress needs a .htaccess file for apache if you are running permalinks and not the xxx.php?something type of url.
