Coppermine phpBB redirect problems

[Scary Guy]

Ok I'm not sure what I'm not understanding here or where I went wrong.  I'm running my own webserver and actually managed to get apache, php, and mysql working and for a server n00b that's not bad.

I have the bridge working, I put in my info into the phpbb login and then it redirects me to the coppermine page, unlogged in though.  So then I go to login and that redirects me to the forum.  Logout, login, repeat process.  When I try to access the bridge manager it tells me I've disabled the forum (which I did because I was working on it which in hindsight might not have been the best option).  All I want to do is login to turn the bridging off, but I can't login because the board access is shut off.  Any idea how I could fix this through SQL (which I know even less about than PHP code).

Already been there http://www.thedeadsociety.com/gallery/bridgemgr.php says it's offline and shows no options what so ever to switch it off.

Then you have deliberately put your gallery into offline mode. Use a tool like phpMyAdmin, browse coppermine's config table and turn bridge_enable off to recover from failed bridging attempts, similar to what is being described in the debug_mode tutorial (tutorials sections from above menu). Alternatively, you could turn your gallery back online (again: phpMyAdmin, config table) and then do as suggested in the docs (bridge recover section).

Heh, not what I wanted to hear, but the problem is solved.

I just need to figure out how to update the mysql table now through the text editor.  However this isn't a CPG related problem.  You can totally mark this as solved and thanks for the help.
