Hello eveybody!  Coppermine is great.  I just did a fresh install of 1.44 and it fired right up.

Coppermine: http://www.liquidpurple.com/gallery/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.4
Forum: http://www.liquidpurple.com/forum/
Forum version: phpbb 2.0.2
Test accounts (both): demo / password

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.liquidpurple.com/forum
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forum/
Use post-based groups?:  1
cookie pre: phpbb2mysql

The problem I'm having is when testing a regular user like demo.  CPG links to phpBB to login and it works for the forum, but when you return to the gallery it's not logged in.  It doesn't give any errors, it just doesn't log into CPG.  When the bridge is turned off, both demo accounts work fine.

I updated the bridge files from the cvs-stable. I've tried the cookie domain with and without www's and just a /.  I've searched this forum and it was a big help, but I'm still having a problem.  I've deleted the cookies, etc.  I tried "post-based groups" both 1 & 0.  I've tested with firefox and the other one.

The strange part is that MY account seems to work great! My account is a forum admin, when I log into phpBB from the CPG link, it gives me full admin in CPG.  This is great, but when I try the demo account or another forum admin account, it doesn't work at all.  :(

I thought the problem had to be my COOKIE name or path, ...but why then does one account work and others don't?

Can someone please suggest how I can figure out what's wrong?  ...or share a fix with me?

The bridge may not support such an old version of phpbb, it has only been tested with recent versions.

I'm sorry, I meant phpBB version 2.0.20.  It was just released 2 weeks ago.
