[bbDev] Difficulty Adding Topics & First Posts

[Tom Preuss]

Harvey,

Here's the steps I followed just now with a fresh copy:

1. Unpack archive (or checkout subversion repository)
2. Copy bb-config-sample.php to bb-config.php and fill in the necessary details
2a. $bb->domain = 'http://localhost'; (this was for my setup, yours
will be 'http://northcountryguide.com' )
2b. $bb->path   = '/bbpress/trunk/';  (again, yours would be
'/tourism/carptalk/' )
2c. Fill in database info (name of database, MySQL username, password)
3. Create that database if you haven't already.
4. Load http://localhost/bbpress/trunk/bb-admin/install.php (For you
http://northcountryguide.com/tourism/carptalk/bb-admin/install.php )
5. Read the notice that this is alpha software and know that you've
been warned..
6. Click the "First Step »" link.
7. Fill in the info on the next page for your admin user and continue
to the second step.
8. Here you should receive the following notice:

Now we're going to create the database tables and fill them with some
default data.

   1. Created table bb_forums
   2. Created table bb_posts
   3. Created table bb_topics
   4. Created table bb_topicmeta
   5. Created table bb_users
   6. Created table bb_usermeta
   7. Created table bb_tags
   8. Created table bb_tagged

Finished!

Now you can log in with the username "WhatYouEntered" and password "Rand0m".

9. After that, you should be able to click on the link and log right in.

Did your step 8 look like mine?  Did you do all the other steps?  Let us know.

Best regards,

Tom Preuss
