BuddyPress.org

I deleted the database table bp_core_widgets_welcome and then let BuddyPress/Wordpress rebuild it when I created a new welcome message. Works perfectly now.

Thanks, guys. Believe it or not there aren’t any errors in the log they provided. I’ve asked them to escalate a ticket to see if there are other logs, since I’m on a shared hosting plan.

I’ve gotten the php log files (still waiting on apache), but don’t know what to look for specifically. Any help would be appreciated.

@Trent, there is no error on the screen–it is totally blank.

This is the first anyone has asked for Apache logs (which I’ve requested from my webhost).

I only posted my question early this morning; when I said the response wasn’t satisfactory, I was referring to the other post which was never answered (and which may have helped me).

P.S. I had buddypress working at first, but deleted the blog by mistake. So I removed all the files from my server and reinstalled them and now they aren’t working (but WordPress MU is working fine). Does this help?

I’ve checked with my service provider to see what they can tell me. As I mentioned before, others are experiencing this and there hasn’t been a satisfactory response yet.

I have checked all my permissions, and my WPMU install is fine. It’s just the buddypress that isn’t working properly.

Apparently this is happening to others, but no one has resolved it: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=404

I did check the mu-plugins folder (it’s at 755) and it’s in /wp-content.

When I type my domain, nothing comes up as long as the mu-plugins directory is there. Once I delete it, I can see the WordPress blog (but then I don’t have the buddypress stuff and themes). I don’t know how to check the logs or how to turn on error reporting in Php

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?

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
