There are different reasons and possible solutions but we need https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/when-asking-for-support
• 1. Which version of WP/MU are you running?
•
I’m not sure about the WP part because simple script installs everything at once, but it was a fresh install.
They also offer WP 2.9.2, so I believe that’s what it would be if they installed wordpress first.
•
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?
It was installed directly to the domain with a /city after it.
It is not my primary account, but it lists as just the domain name. so in my case it is not 12gates.citywidesites.com, but 12gates.net .It is an add-on domain
•
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version?
• NO
•
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
I installed WP under a different subdirectory to test it when the Buddy press did not work, and it worked fine.
•
6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.2.3
•
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
NO
•
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
NO
•
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
Standard
•
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
NO
•
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
NO
•
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
NOT running bbpress
•
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
14. Which company provides your hosting?
Hostmonster is the host and simplescripts is the installation software

Ok, I see that WP and BP have been instaled in http://www.12gates.net/city (btw, do upload an empty index.html to 12gates.net as anyone could see your files/folders there). If you want to allow open registration, go to your admin dashboard’s Settings > General Settings and enable Membership – Anyone can register.
There is no field that says enable Membership.
If I nstall wpress, it has it, but not if I install buddy press
Found it under site admin–options
Now when I start new members, they do not get the confirmation e-mail :S
