I did something stupid

[1bigmike]

First off let me say this program rocks! I installed it with no problem with the phpBB option and everything was humming along perfectly. Then I started to see that when I switched from admin mode to user mode the admin nav bar wouldn't go away.

Now the stupid part, I thought it might be a cookie issue and changed the cookie name from the admin screen from cpg11d to phpbbmysql. noe I can't log in. My phpBB board still works fine.

Anyways, I need to know how I can manually change it back. I see a restore_config.sql file that looks like it holds the default seetings but I don't know how to use it.

Thanks in advance

use your database tool to go into your cpg config table.  browse and find cookie_name, and change it back there.

Thanks for the reply!

I was able to change the cookie name back and I can log in now but I think I see I screwed up on the install. I named the cpg tables the same as my phpBB tables. I have two cpg config tables and that's not right, right?

Can I save this install by renaming the tables prefix to cpg_, and changing the config.inc.php? If so, where can I find exactly which tables belong to coppermine so that I don't screw up phpBB.

Thanks again!

this is impossible: there can't be two tables with exactly the same names in one database.

Coppermine uses these table names (which will start with a prefix you have chosen of course): albums, banned, categories, comments, config, pictures, usergroups, users, votes.

Well, I pretty new to mysql but that's what I've got. I have two phpbb_config tables. One with the coppermine info in it and one with the phpBB iunfo in it.

This is where I messed up, I used the same prefix. I though for the two programs to share the same data base they needed the same prefix. I didn't thik about them having tables with the same name.

Is it possible to change them without creating major problems?

Thanks for the help.

Surely there must be a difference, i.e., phpbb_config and phpBB_config.

You can change the prfix back to cpg or whatever, but you will have to change your include/config.inc.php to reflect that.
