bbPress Installation problem

Okay, so here’s how the story goes…

I downloaded bbPress 1.03 because I’m using WordPress 2.6.3…however I’m not sure if that even matters since I don’t really want to integrate the two.

I removed all the installation files from the bbpress folder, and placed them into my /forums directory. I did this because I wanted my forums to be in http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums , not beardownarizona.com/forums/bbpress.

Once all the files were installed via FTP into my /forums directory, I went to the site and proceeded with the installation. The first screen said “There doesn’t seem to be a bb-config.php file. This usually means that you want to install bbPress. ” so I continued and put in my database name, username, password, along with my host.

When I hit “save database configuration” I got a ridiculously long error message:

Warning: fopen(D:\Hosting\3362703\html\forums/bb-config.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\3362703\html\forums\bb-admin\includes\class.bb-install.php on line 1019

So instead of hassling with that, I created my own bb-config.php file, and uploaded it to the /forums directory. This allowed me to complete the entire installation. However it had one minor error, which said “Key master email not sent!” The installation log is below:

Referrer is OK, beginning installation…

There were some errors encountered during installation!

Now when I go to my forums page at http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums, I get a “page not found” error. I’ve double checked my installation files, and they are all there, so I don’t think I’m missing any files…

I’m just at a complete loss for how to proceed. I just want to install the forums on the page, I’m not worried about integration or anything like that, since I don’t really have “users” on my main site. The forums are going to be used for that purpose.

If it makes a difference, I’m using godaddy as my host…If you have any ideas for how I can fix this, please let me know!!!

Sorry for the long message, I’m just really at a loss…

Thanks!
