For some reason after an upgrade to the new buddypress i tried to a new install of bbpress through the one click and they said i needed to create a bb-config file on the main wordpress installation directory and paste the following code:

$bb->custom_user_table = “wp_users”;

$bb->custom_user_meta_table = “wp_usermeta”;

$bb->uri = “http://www.zeitgeist-ny.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/”;

$bb->name = ” Forums”;

$bb->wordpress_mu_primary_blog_id = 1;

define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, “eTdPJfxn9AoXCf5PmP7Utb3kBGnMX2yGqAW3ie2gm9a3s97C9IczDpfFcpClDgTC”);

define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, “eTdPJfxn9AoXCf5PmP7Utb3kBGnMX2yGqAW3ie2gm9a3s97C9IczDpfFcpClDgTC”);

define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, “eTdPJfxn9AoXCf5PmP7Utb3kBGnMX2yGqAW3ie2gm9a3s97C9IczDpfFcpClDgTC”);

define(‘WP_AUTH_COOKIE_VERSION’, 2);

?>

but even after doing that the forums page loads this error… Warning: require_once(/home/rcarlott/public_html/zeitgeistny/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/bb-includes/class.bb-query.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rcarlott/public_html/zeitgeistny/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 20

please help

And thank you for the amazing support everybody.

Thank you I am looking into that now.

Okay…I don’t see anything in there that is going to help me.

Can you please point it out?

“@wordpressfan, you will want to make sure that wp-contents/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ contains all of the files that come with bbPress.

When you use the auto-install functionality of BuddyPress forums, it will create a bb-config.php file at the root of your WordPress MU installation.”

I see the above but the auto install is not creating a bb-config.

@diegorodrigues from your other thread it looks like you do not have bbPress installed at all.

Thats weird because I went through the install and it completed one time but it gave me the same problem…

How should I go about installing it?

@podictionary, @diegorodrigues,

It sounds like you have not yet placed your bbPress files in the buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ directory.

Based on Andy’s comment I looked again and my bbpress is nested in a second bbpress folder. I confirmed that was my problem. A second problem appeared after that but was cured by re-attempting the one click forum install (which went flawlessly once the files were in place).

okay its not installing…even though i have created the bb-config.php file with the code that it asked be to copy and paste into it, it keeps going back to the same message to create a bb-config file.

@diegorodrigues,

If you keep trying to re-install bbPress by revisiting the forum setup screen, it’s going to keep telling you to do that step manually if that directory/file does not have write access.

If it’s asking you to create that file, it means everything else is done and this is your final step that you must do manually.

When 1.1 is final this issue won’t exist because you won’t need to move the bbPress files around; they will be included in the BuddyPress1.1 zip.

Thanks everybody for the support.

Ps: The group images don’t seem to be showing up after the install.

@diegorodrigues,

I was seeing the same errors as yourself. I solved it by placing the bbpress installation in buddypress/bp-forums and then running the one-click forums install. BuddyPress then creates a bp-config.php file in your WPMU root.

The key is having the bbpress installation in the bp-forums directory.

The 1.1 forums installation is light years ahead of the witch doctor moves you had to endure to get buddypress and bp-press to talk to each other.
