Title: bbPress Installation problem Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # bbPress Installation problem * [beardownarizona](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beardownarizona/) * (@beardownarizona) * [17 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/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](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

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… Step 1 - Creating database tables >>> Modifying database: beardownforum (beardownforum.db.3362703.hostedresource.com) >>>>>> Table: bb_forums >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_meta >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_posts >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_terms >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_term_relationships >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_term_taxonomy >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_topics >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_users >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done >>>>>> Table: bb_usermeta >>>>>>>>> Creating table >>>>>>>>>>>> Done Step 2 - WordPress integration (optional) >>> Integration not enabled Step 3 - Site settings >>> Site name: Bear Down Arizona Forums >>> Site address (URL): http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums/ >>> From email address: brad@beardownarizona.com >>> Key master created >>>>>> Username: beardownarizona >>>>>> Email address: brad@beardownarizona.com >>>>>> Password: (password removed) >>> Description: Just another bbPress community >>> Forum name: Bear Down Forums >>>>>> Topic: Your first topic >>>>>>>>> Post: First Post! w00t. >>> Key master email not sent! There were some errors encountered during installation! ``` * Now when I go to my forums page at [http://www.beardownarizona.com/forums](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!
