ParticipantHi Mike,
Thanks for the reply. I will check out your comparison.
I have quite a bit experience with Links.com using WordPress, and there is no question that spam is going to become a major problem unless I clamp down early on. The current plugins are inadequate for a social networking site on my domain. The last thing I want is to appear on some blacklist list. It has already happened once and it was a huge effort clearing thing up.
Thanks again for your response.

ParticipantBuddyPress runs on WPMU, so you can run most WP plugins your BP installation including Akismet or whatever other spam plugin(s) you’re using — that would take care of the blogs. As far as spam coming from actual registered users, that could be another issue. I wouldn’t anticipate this becoming a big problem in the first place, because a BP user has to register (get an email) and then confirm (get another email) registration before getting started to spam anybody. By the time that *could* happen and BP user John Doe decides to spam link everybody on the Wire and elsewhere, you as the admin could just suspend/delete his account. I’d say go for it. I love this system the moment and wrote a lengthy comparison between BP and another system, Elgg, here… http://www.michaelkuhlmann.com/category/buddypress/elgg-vs-buddypress/
There’s also another social networking system out there for Joomla called Anahita, in case you’re interested. Hope this helps!

Participant@DJ Paul
some of the achievments in your PDF are awsome!
cant wait to check it out.
but im a little worried, they get points for having their friend requests rejected? so, if i joined your site, made my profile look like im a spammer and added every member on the members list and everyone rejects my profile… i get an ‘achievement’?
thoes ‘rejected’ achievements worry me a little, but i like the others.

ParticipantNobody has deleted your post. The akismet spam police pick up suspect posts and toss them into the akismet jail some times though.
“i need to change the main title of my bp isntall as i have changed my name about the name of the website i cant seem to find out how to change it”
I don’t know what you are trying to change.

ParticipantDoas anyone know a good guide/tutorial for installing WPMU/Buddypress on OSX with XAMPP? I know i have to change localhost to localhost.localdomain. But where and how can i achieve this? And why isn’t it possible to run WPMU on localhost? No spamming, just for general interest.

ParticipantRich-
Just a couple more thoughts while I think about your situation.
Have you determined the offending party that keeps triggering the redirects? Is it Googlebot-image? Have you disallowed it from searching your site with a robots.txt file?
If so, then it probably is not actually the Googlebot-image spider but a spam spider attempting to masquerade as the Google image bot. A robots.txt file cannot stop a spider from crawling your site. Reputable search engines honor the robots.txt file requests, unscrupulous ones ignore it.
For your information:

Are you using Firefox? With Firefox and the Web Develoepr Add-on, you can get a lot of information about errors.
May 22, 2009 at 1:03 am #45833Rich Spott
ParticipantOkay, thank you for helping me, I’ll try to go through your questions one-by-one.
First I’ll let you know what I have:
Slicehost
1GB slice
Ubuntu Hardy LTS 8.04
Running Apache, PHP 5, MySQL 5.0 (followed Pickeled Onion’s walk-throughs on how to set it up, I am by no means an expert, and my very first barebones VPS was this one.)
I help run http://sportsblognet.com where we have WPMU 2.7.1 and BP 1.0, along with bbPress 1.0-alpha6
Have you tried deactivating all non-buddypress plugins, wp-super-cache in particular?
I deactivated all but buddypress, feedwordpress (because our theme will break), wp-super-cache, and doncha’s domain mapping plugin. But maybe I will remove them all for an hour to see if any errors get through
I am removing wp-super-cache right now, but it was tough to get rid of the wp-content/cache folder because it was owned by the root user. But i got it deleted and removed the wp-super-cache stuff in the .htaccess and I’ll guess i’ll have to wait to see how that goes.
Have you tried using the default .htaccess file that ships with WPMU?
I just tried to, but it won’t let me.
My current working .htaccess (minus wp-super-cache stuff)
<FilesMatch ".(ico|pdf|flv|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|js|css|swf)$">
Header set Expires "Thu, 15 Apr 2015 20:00:00 GMT"

</IfModule>it wont let me use the standard one, and the only difference that I can see is the expires header setting that i added.
Are there any PHP errors in your log files?
this is my current concern right now
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.ALERT - canary mismatch on efree() - heap overflow detectedfor the ALERT error, I contacted slicehost and they upgraded my kernel, they said that has fixed other people’s problems (fingers crossed – but no errors since they did that this morning) if that doesnt work i have to go through and install php without the suhosin patch.
most of the other errors are of spam scripts trying to signup and not finding wp-signup (i changed the signup name)
what are the other listed errors in your apache log?
That’s pretty much it.
EDIT: it’s about 30 minutes later and an Internal Redirect Error just showed up in my logs with wp-super-cache out, and all but buddypress plugins out. So it doesn’t look like its a plugin.
May 18, 2009 at 6:43 pm #45612In reply to: Re-submit friend request
ParticipantMike-
You pose a good question. It would be useful to have the ability to re-request friendship, or at least nudge a given person to reconsider.
Of course, as you suggest, there may be other issues like the original email was overlooked or filtered out as spam and never seen. In this case, there’s not much that can been done, especially if a member does not check their profile on a regular basis.
But having a feature to re-request action or an admin-configurable setting that will auto-remind members every week or month to visit their profile would be a nice addition to the platform.
I suggest creating a new enhancement ticket in trac.

May 11, 2009 at 10:32 am #45019In reply to: register.php not working (but wp-signup.php does)
ParticipantHowever if I register using an email on another one of my domains (however the emails are still hosted on google apps), I don’t get the activation email. I checked the spam folders but its not their either.
Are you running this on localhost–your test server environment?
Are you providing valid email addresses, or fictitious email addresses?
May 9, 2009 at 8:15 am #44862In reply to: register.php not working (but wp-signup.php does)
ParticipantJeff,
I did what you suggested and cleared the error log. However, the registration problem is not creating any error in the error log.
After some testing I realized that if I create a user with a @gmail address, the registration verification email gets delivered without any problems. However if I register using an email on another one of my domains (however the emails are still hosted on google apps), I don’t get the activation email. I checked the spam folders but its not their either.
Please help.
May 6, 2009 at 6:04 am #44567ParticipantLOL. “Didn’t think I could be that much of a pain already.”
Well this is bbpress but lots of posts with multiple links get spammed by akismet. It’s not you, it’s the post.
May 6, 2009 at 1:14 am #44559ParticipantDbascent94-
That can mean that your post is being filtered out as spam by akismet. This has happened to me before as well. However, I can see your posts right now.

John James Jacoby
KeymasterThe documentation/codex area provides a ton of documentation that can help you with all of these things, but there is no magic button you can press to make this happen.
There are dozens of functions and loops that need to be installed and addressed on several files and themes to make all of BuddyPress work the way it does. All we can do is document them for you, and let you give it a try yourself. It’s up to the growing audience of BP developers to start creating themes for 1.0, and that will eventually happen, I guarantee it.
If you’re in over your head and desperate for a theme asap, it may be time to hire someone to help you out. If you’re not looking for custom functionality and simply want a revamped BP theme, I might suggest joining the WordPress developers mailing lists and asking some WP professionals for assistance. Otherwise right now we’re pretty lenient about users asking for specific requests here (meaning we will lock the topic but we won’t delete it or spam it.)

@Arturo – check this from the readme. You might have missed it to.To install in WordPress MU (Forced Activation/Site-Wide):
1. Upload the
wp-recaptchafolder to the/wp-content/mu-pluginsdirectory1. **Move** the
wp-recaptcha.phpfile out of thewp-recaptchafolder so that it is in/wp-content/mu-plugins1. Now you should have
/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-recaptcha.phpand/wp-content/mu-plugins/wp-recaptcha/1. Go to the administrator menu and then go to **Site Admin > reCAPTCHA**
1. Get the reCAPTCHA keys [here](http://recaptcha.net/api/getkey?domain=www.blaenkdenum.com&app=wordpress \”reCAPTCHA API keys\”) and/or the MailHide keys [here](http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/apikey \”MailHide keys\”)
