WRITE "NOT APPLICABLE" IN THE QUESTION FIELD. ***

[What steps will reproduce the problem? (We need detailed, specific steps.
If we cannot reproduce the defect on a dev machine, we cannot fix it.)]
1. I installed Wordpress 3.3 on cabonk.com. I then installed buddypress 1.5.2.
2. I downloaded the nightly build Nightly Build 2011-11-25 and uploaded it to 
the plugins folder. It appeared on the administration area of wordpress on the 
site. I press activate and then the system crashes and I get a 500 internal 
server error for the admin page. 
3. Earlier my host had php 5.2.7 and it would at least take me to the BP-Media 
page in the admin view. They then shifted me to a PHP 5.3.7 server which should 
be good enough for the plugin to work. But it just gives me a 500 internal 
server error.

[What is the expected output? What do you see instead?]
I expect it to take me to the administration area of the plugin or atleast of 
wordpress

Excellent. It looks like you've found a defect that doesn't happen on any of 
our developer's workstations. We need you to run BP-Media's built-in self tests 
to help find the problem.

1) Create a database on your SQL server called "bpm_test". This database will 
be *destroyed* during the testing process.

2) Create a user on the "bpm_test" database called "test" with password "test" 
and give them root access to the database.

3) Open up a linux terminal window, or, if your web host doesn't have this 
capability, contact their support department and have them do it for you. 

4) In the terminal window, navigate to the 
"/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bp_media/unit-test/" folder.

5) Type "php test.php" and press enter

6) Copy the output displayed in the terminal window, and paste it into this 
ticket.

Thanks!

Hi, 

So here is what happened. I tried to create the database and the username as 
requested but since my webhost is a shared hosting, it puts my username before 
the database name and the user of the database. 

Anyhow I asked my webhosts to run the php script and this is what they got:

: # php test.php
: RUNNING TESTS FROM: /home/cabonkco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-media/
: Loading PHPUnit Portable... OK - Version: '3.5.13'
: Warning: 
require_once(/home/cabonkco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-media/unit-test./b
pm-testlib/bpm-base-class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or 
directory in 
/home/cabonkco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-media/unit-test/test.php on 
line 112
: Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required

/home/cabonkco/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-media/unit-test/test.php on 
line 112
: =========================================

Any suggestions?

regards,
Akul.

You have the first server we've ever found that can't run our debug tools. 
We're updating our code to work around the error, and we'll get back to you in 
a few hours.

Thanks :) I really like the plugin though. It would be great if it works. Do 
you know if I can get exif data to display using the already released version 
of the plugin BP Album?

I am having exactly the same issue.
Any help yet?

We have a new nightly build ready for testing on Windows platforms. 

We haven't finished debugging it on UNIX family platforms yet. We put a huge 
amount of developer time (120 hours) into getting this nailed, and now have 
some solid debugging tools.

Expect a nightly build up in the next few days.

Please copy the error information from your web server log file and attach it 
to this ticket. 

We'd *really* like to find out what's causing this defect and fix it, but we 
can't replicate it on any of our team member's workstations.

^C^

UPDATE

Increased memory allocation in .htaccess and issue is resolved for me:

php_value memory_limit 256M

The minimum amount is 35M for it to work, anything less causes the 500 Internal 
Server Error

Hope this helps.

Stephen
