I have had the same issue with my install of 1.1.4 on Joomla 1.0.10. I have installed on previous versions of Joomla and have not had an issue. The configuration is complete. On the page with the forum, if it is wrapped, it will not show, but if it is unwrapped it will show the forum. This is the Rhuk template I did this with and I will say it happens with all of the templates I have with my install. I do have the Joomla E-Commerce install working (VirtueMart 1.0.6) I have just installed the latest Community Builder 1.0 Stable.
When I view the source of the home page I get:
<table class="blog" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td valign="top"><div>
On the forum page I get the following when it is wrapped:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

When I turn off the Joomla index.php patch and don't wrap the forum, all works well.
Any ideas?
