Log In Problems when used with phpBB

[fh37381]

Any help on this issue would be gratefully appreciated, its driving me nuts!

I have Coppermine (1.3) and phpBB (2.0.11) running successfully with no problems.  The log in for both is combined and clicking the login button on CPG will take you to the phpBB log in screen, when you've entered your details, your returned to CPG which is showing that people have logged in correctly.

However, for a couple of reasons, I have had to move both sections to a new server.  I FTP'd files from both sections from the original server to my machine, then FTP'd them back to the new server (same directory names etc..).  Then did an export from MySQL and ran the file into the new server MySQL.  All appeared to go across with no problems - I was amazed!  phpBB is fully up and running all the discussions are there and the log-in works correctly.  When you to go to CPG, the pages come up fine and all the pictures are showing, but the site won't log in.

When you click on log in, it takes you to the phpBB log in screen as normal, where you enter your details, but when you return to CPG, your not logged in.  I suspect its a cookie issue, but you guys (and gals!) will no doubt know more than me.  I've gone into the database and VERY carefully altered the site domain to point at the new site - indeed movement around the CPG pages works perfect.  If I can solve this log in issue then I think we're back up and running!

Can anyone offer any idea's as to what is wrong?  The cookie name for phpBB is phpbbMysql and is cpg132 for Coppermine, which is the same as it was on the older server when it worked fine!

Richard

Cookie prefix in bridge file should be phpbb2mysql, check that and post all your changes to the bridge file. Also you are running old versions of both phpbb and coppermine, which have known security issues.
