gunju2221,

Well at least it looks like you’re really, maybe, starting to get somewhere with the problem now. After you figure all of that out, and if still needed, locating the file within GoDaddy hosting still holds true, it will just likely be located in the “html” folder (or your “doc_root” in layman’s terms, as mercime so sarcastically points out). I didn’t catch the meat of the first page of the post before I replied so my baddie. The big file that you were referring to where the config file may reside just looks to be your absolute hosting path, which I would assume is on GoDaddy’s shared-hosting.

and…

Try not to take things so personally guys and gals. I was in direct contact with Andy Peatling well over a year ago discussing the possibilities of BuddyPress, and I’ve been using WordPress for many, many years now. I’m certainly not an expert on it all, and I don’t claim to be. I just happened by and saw a situation that I thought I could be of help with as I’ve had experience with GoDaddy’s hosting, and I’ve been on the BuddyPress boards many times before, just not to post, so “just everyone cool out” (as Will Ferrell’s version of Neil Diamond would say). I look like the new guy on the block. I get it, don’t worry. My original post still stands though, and I must always remember to heed it’s advice myself as well.

By the way, I did notice that too… The need to probably want to replace the MySQL database info, Auth keys and so forth. I wondered why that was showing there in such a public forum. I’d personally now consider my install compromised and change that info asap.

Hi there. Good to see that hnla’s solution in BP forums worked for you. Had not encountered that problem before in MU/MS with BP installs

@hnla curious whether the installs where you had problem/s creating a topic from group forum is on a single WP install? Based on gunju2221’s bb-config.php, I see that it’s on single WP. And if your install is single WP as well, could be a problem endemic to single WP’s requiring bug report. Or maybe I am seeing an abstraction where it doesn’t exist

Here are a couple other posts related to “There was an error when creating the topic” that may or may not be relevant to a particular instance of the error.

I had just figured out my problem and was checking back on this thread.

I’m using Multi-DB and am putting the bbpress tables in the global database that Multi-DB requires. I also had to update BBDB_NAME to point to the global db. In this setup, the db settings in wp-config.php are being overriden apparently by db.php, db-config.php (Multi-DB). I only needed to update bb-config.php (for BBDB_NAME).

Hi all, for others finding this – I have just had this problem too. I resolved it by checking the contents of the bb-config.php file and changing the paths to the database (I had backed up and restored my site to a new server), then creating a new group and testing the forums – which worked first time. Checking/unchecking in forum settings did nothing for the existing groups in my setup, I had to delete and recreate groups.
