Ah, I should've pointed out that I did, in fact, try the suggestions  
on the page you probably mean:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Ergate/wpmu_bbPress_integration .

Alas, that's where the errors also started.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one... =]

Indeed it does! I ran into a duplicate definition for is_tag, which  
was caused by the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin. I simply renamed UTW's  
is_tag to is_UTW_tag and then it flew.

Thanks a zillion!

As with Mike's suggestion: I already saw that. =]

The problem is that somehow, the server translates /forum/4 into / 
forum.php/4. And indeed: if I change that in the mod_rewrite rules, I  
can access forums allright. But for other URLs, this won't work, or  
it gives me 500-type errors. I have some experience with mod_rewrite,  
but this one has me slightly puzzled. I'll continue to whack at it  
(and I'll also try and see if there's something in the bbPress code  
that explains it) and post my findings here.

For completeness' sake: I have tried this on another server as well,  
giving me the same results. Again, WP works flawlessly on both servers.


Thank you all!

Best regards,

Max
