Memberlist Question

[globalfisher]

Ok I just installed the photo gallery, I think the latest version but anyway. I have a phpbb forum and I was wondering if there is a way to get the memberlist from that onto my photo gallery that I just installed. It would be easier if my members didnt have to re-register for the gallery, Can anyone help me?

Have you read the documentation that comes with Coppermine (in the docs directory)?

[globalfisher]

I get a access denied error when I go through the process....

[Joachim Müller]

post the actual error, together with a link to your site, a test user account (non-admin).

This is the error:

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to phpBB Board database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)

As for the name, you wont be able to check out the album cause of the error.

I think one of the reasons is, I already installed the coppermine but didnt see the thing about the phpbb thing and I am just doing it now. So it will be installed twice right?

[kegobeer]

What will be installed twice?  If you have Coppermine installed, phpBB installed, and you follow the bridging instructions in the documentation, you should be ok.

[kegobeer]

didnt see the thing about the phpbb thing (emphasis mine)

Can you tell me what "thing" refers to?

[globalfisher]

It refers to the steps on making the integration.

Can anyone help me?

$cpg_path='/album/';
header("Location: ".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;

[globalfisher]

I think I figured it out, I didnt have the "http://" in this coding:

<?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
  $cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
  $cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='/album/';
header("Location: ".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>


Right after the word location:

It lets me login and logout with any member name from my phpbb board now!

Thanks Guys!
