vb3 3.07 bridge support help

[hotwheels]

no problem isn't resolved.............i spent 12hrs working on getting the bridge to work and it never did.  Not being impatient, but i would open up stuff for the test password and then nobody would respond. I know you guy's are very busy and that it is very time consuming trying to help everyone, but i just couldn't sit on the computer all day waiting for a response. I am sure there is something i am doing wrong with the integration, but i sure thought it would be easier to actually get the problem resolved.
I followed the suggestion's the best that i could and it just wasn't working at this point, or at any point........i hope to get this issue resolved one of these days.......I noticed that alot of people get have this same issue, but no where on the site could i really find the exact way to fix this issue........

All bridging problems can be resolved, however at this point there is nothing I can do to help as the test account is gone and bridging is disabled.

k nibbler, i set up the user again.....


username: test
password: tester

I also went into the includes/init file and uncommented the define vbulletin3.0

i also moved the vbulletin3.0.php file into my forums file from the bridge file.......

i also moved the vbulletin3.0.php file into my forums file from the bridge file.......

What ?

[Nibbler]

Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !

MySQL said: Access denied for user 'hotwheel'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Make sure the bridge file has the correct db info, and the cookie prefix is set to 'bb'

i also moved the vbulletin3.0.php file into my forums file from the bridge file.......

it is in the bridge file and i set the chmod to 777 for now...........still trying to figure out what the right info is that i need in the file....

//NOTE : Your vBulletin license number is provided at the top of every php file in your vBulletin installation!
define('VB_CUST_NO', '**********'); // Your vBulletin license number (NOT your customer number)
define('VB_DB_NAME', 'hotwheel_forums'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('VB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('VB_DB_USERNAME', 'hotwheel'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('VB_DB_PASSWORD', '*******'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/forums/');
// Prefix and names for the database tables
define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', ''); // Leave empty, not supported by vBulletin 2.3
define('VB_USER_TABLE', 'user'); // The members table
define('VB_SESSION_TABLE', 'session'); // The sessions table
define('VB_GROUP_TABLE', 'usergroup'); // The groups table
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb');  // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2

does that look right so far?

You can get the database info from your forums' config file if you can find that. You don't move the bridge file anywhere, it stays in coppermine's bridge folder.

[hotwheels]

okay, it is still in the bridge folder which is inside the cpg135 folder.............

I also found my forums include/config file and updated as such, now is this correct or should it be something else? (// The web path to your vBulletin Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/vbulletin3/
define('VB_WEB_PATH', '/forums/');
)

I checked my forums include/config file and it show's the relative path as /vb3/      so where i have forums, should that be vb3?

This is straight off of my main includes/config file:
// Prefix that your vBulletin tables have in the database.
// For example: $tableprefix = 'vb3_';
$tableprefix = 'vb3';

// Prefix that all vBulletin cookies will have
// For example
$cookieprefix = 'bb';

[hotwheels]

holy cow, i think it worked.................give me a couple minutes.

[hotwheels]

  that was it nibbler, you are da man..................oh man, this is exciting.........


Thank you so much...............hotwheels
