BuddyPress.org

Can anyone help?

I’ve just installed Buddypress I get this error message when I go to forums.

Warning: require_once(homehnt12a135/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in homehnt12a135wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-forumsbp-forums-bbpress.php on line 68

I have an created an .htaccess file with

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

I’ve installed wordpress into my / folder. All runs well, themes and plugns all ok.

Hi,
a few days ago I installed Buddypress 1.2.5.2 on a fresh WordPress 3.0.1 instance.
I usually access it with Firefox 3.6.10 with the NoScript Extension installed.

Everything is working fine except one little thing: I am unable to post activity updates neither on my personal page nor in groups. If I do so, the loading wheel next to the post update button will spin infinitely. The success function of jq(“input#aw-whats-new-submit”).click in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js will never be called.
The bizarre thing is: Everything else works. I can post comments, new forum topics, private messages and create groups.

Anyways, there are some workarounds that work for me:
1) Use a different web browser (IE and Opera work)
2) Uninstall the NoScript extension (just disabling it doesn’t do the trick)
3) The strangest one: Post the update while the page is still loading

I also checked the communication between my client and the server with Wireshark. It revealed that in case of success, the server answers with the new html page and in case of failure it answers with a “403 Permission denied on /wp-load.php”. This page will never be showed in my web browser.
So this makes me think that there may be some problem with the user authentication in Buddypress.

It also may be a problem with the cookies of my client as I have a duplicate cookie “wordpress_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx” with two different paths as value, respectively. I don’t know if thats a problem or just normal.

Now I don’t know how to go on from here and what else to check.

I would be very happy if someone could help me out in solving this problem.

Best regards,
Julian

@boonebgorges — or anyone with good coding experience –

The AuthWP.php ran into a snag today.

The admin account in wpuser was changed to match my initials (all in capital letters). When the browser is pointed to the mediawiki install then the user id is changed from all capitals to the first being a capital letter and the following are all lowercase. How can this behavior be stopped so that my wpuser account in capitals is matched up with my mediawiki account that is all in capital letters?

Can AuthWP.php be modified so that the code for matching my userid is inserted.. if $wpuser==LPH (wp-user database) then use LPH (from mediawiki user database – user_id==1)?

Something like:

`if($wpuser==LPH)
ID == LPH
return true;`

This would be added to:

`function AuthWPUserLoadFromSession($user, &$result) {

// Is there a WordPress user with a valid session?
$wpuser=wp_get_current_user();
if(!$wpuser->ID)
return true;

$u=User::newFromName($wpuser->user_login);
if(!$u)
wp_die(“Your username ‘”.$wpuser->user_login.”‘ is not a valid MediaWiki username”);
if(0==$u->getID()) {
$u->addToDatabase();
$u->setToken();
}
$id=User::idFromName($wpuser->user_login);
if(!$id) {
wp_die(“Failed to get ID from name ‘”.$wpuser->user_login.”‘”);
return true;
}
if($id==0) {
wp_die(“Wikipedia ‘”.$wpuser->user_login.”‘ was not found.”);
return true;
}
$user->setID($id);
$user->loadFromId();
wfSetupSession();
$user->setCookies();
$user->saveSettings();
$result=true;

return true;
}`
