Please read the documentation that comes with Coppermine.  It explains you must have the forum and gallery on the same domain, and the database must be the same.

Looks like Im about the same place....And Iv read the Dokumentation and Manual a few times now.
If I log in to my forum as admin (or user) the type in the cpg_redir.php I still get the login page. And aslo the album/pics from testing is still there. The doc states that they willl be deleted. I added the album and pics before I setup the SQL in phpbb.inc.php

Any suggestions?

[zonemoto]

oups, sorry, 

What you mean by they need to be on the same database,  same name ?  or same SQL database with different names   

my phpbb database is forumfr :   zonemoto_com_-_forumsfr

and my coppermine sql database is:  zonemoto_com_-_photo

and where I can find this info ?

define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'phpBB'); // The name of the database used by the board

thanks again for your help

[kegobeer]

The same database.

Your forum and gallery are on different domains, so you can't bridge them together.  They must be on the same domain.

[zonemoto]

no they are on the same domaine

forum: http://www.zonemoto.com/forumsfr/

coppermine: http://www.zonemoto.com/imagesforum

the www.forumminimoto.com is juste a redirection,  

[canelli]

Your problem is the connection string for db of phpbb  you specifed in coppermine bridge !


define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'phpBB'); // The name of the database used by the board
// put here the name of your phpbb forum   => 'zonemoto_com_-_forumsfr'

define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'zonemoto_com_-_forumsfr'); // The name of the database server
// put here the name of the server running mysql for your phpbb database

define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'xxx'); // The username to use to connect to the database
// here the username of phpbb  database

define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', 'xxx'); // The password to use to connect to the database
// here the password



I just bridge phpbb and coppermine  on my site .
