It looks like this plugin will do the trick:

sorry

1. Which version of WP/MU are you running?
wordpress 3.0.1

2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
the directory that I installed it in is: mysite.com/site/wordpress

4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version?
no, this is a clean install

5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
yes

6. Which version of BP are you running?

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?

9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
the standard bp theme with a different header image

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
Yes. Before this I was getting an error because of mysql_get_server_info on wp-db.com, so I changed line 1589 (or somewhere around there from `return preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9.].*/’, ”, mysql_get_server_info( $this->dbh ));` to `return preg_replace( ‘/[^0-9.].*/’, ”, mysql_query(“select version() as $this->dbh”) );`, and that error stopped.

no

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
it came with bbpress build in.

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
couldn’t find those: I will keep on looking though.

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
linux with apache 2.0

Thank you for your help.
