BuddyPress.org

Noting that it wants to go to `wp/members` rather than where the buddypress install and BP Compatibility configuration directions had me put that and its other folders (which was in `/wp/wp-content/themes/bp-default`), I copied all the bp-themes directories to where WordPress and the web server are looking for them… `/wp/members`.

The URL that appears in the browser is http://098.765.43.210/members/admin/activity/

That’s not exactly right, though, as the structure “admin/activity” isn’t even part of “members”. The error log reflects this (correctly) as:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:48:36 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] File does not exist: /data01/home/username/production/wp/members/admin`

And so does the access log:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:48:36 +0000] “GET /members/admin/activity/ HTTP/1.1” 404 301`

So I truncate the URL in the address bar to be http://098.765.43.210/members and now I get a blank page. No source.

The access log now says:
`123.456.789.0 – – [08/Mar/2011:14:53:01 +0000] “GET /members/ HTTP/1.1” 200 -`

But the error log now says:
`[Tue Mar 08 14:53:01 2011] [error] [client 123.456.789.0] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /data01/home/username/production/wp/members/index.php on line 1`

I’m soooo totally baffled by all of this. I thought the BuddyPress installation instructions were pretty straightforward, but it seems to actually work in a whole different way from what is documented.

maybe it has something to do with the membor count starting out as zero or no members atall or something Im lost, should I turn WP_ERROR off and that might bypass this?

yes buddypress 1.2.8 I looked at the particular line it was talkin about in the error and here is the whole function where the error started….

if ( (int)$this->total_member_count && (int)$this->pag_num ) {
$this->pag_links = paginate_links( array(
‘base’ => add_query_arg( ‘upage’, ‘%#%’ ),
‘format’ => ”,
‘total’ => ceil( (int)$this->total_member_count / (int)$this->pag_num ),
‘current’ => (int)$this->pag_page,
‘prev_text’ => ‘←’,
‘next_text’ => ‘→’,
‘mid_size’ => 1
) );

may install in one site of multi-site wordpress, only? better install in wordpress only one site, or it does not matter?

Thanks Paul. I did find https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shibboleth/, but installing it broke my .htaccess file for some reason (I couldn’t log back in to the site). I had installed 1.2.7, 3.0.4.

single user or multiple users

with this you mean roles/permissions/users?

I have tried adding all these settings, selecting all different forms of pretty permalinks, relocating my .htaccess file to various locations throughout the /var/www/html hierarchy, and restarting httpd over and over again, but none of them have worked.

The only other thing I can think of is that at one point I was using a symlink to point documentroot /var/www/html/wp to /data01/home/username/production/wp (i.e. /var/www/html/wp –> /data01/home/username/production/wp). Right now, documentroot points directly at /data01/home/username/production/wp for the VirtualHost DocumentRoot directive without using a symlink. I still can’t get WordPress posts or buddypress activity, group, member, etc. pages to appear. All 404s.

Any ideas of other things I could try?
