[Solved]: phpbb3.0.2 bridged with CPG 1.4.21

[lordtygr]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine 1.4.21 and phpBB3.0.2:

I have the same issue that many people seemd to used to have but has since been fixed.  Once I enable the bridge, if i try to login to cpg, i am directed to my forum, if i click from my forum back to cpg i am still not logged in.  once i disable the bridge everything is fine.  I've been at this for over 8 hours, reading and re-reading the docs (still doesnt mean i didn't miss something).  doing an uninstall/reinstall, going thru the forums and reading posts over and over.  I'm such a noob, i'm probably missing something simple, please forgive me if i've provided too much, or not enough.  And thank you in Advance.

Coppermine install: http://www.houstonlancers.com/photos
Forum install: http://www.houstonlancers.com/forums
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.21
Forum version: phpBB3.0.2 with BOARD3 portal mod
Test user account: for cpg: testuser/helpplz
                      for forums: testuzr/helpplz

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://www.houstonlancers.com/forums
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../forums/ 
Use post-based groups?:  1 (currently set to 1, i've tried both options with other differing settings)
Cookie name/preifx (if applicable): phpbb3_m8j8i_

the bridge file i used is from nibbler's post: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,53678.0.html
I've read thru that thing several times now, and still haven't gotten anything in there to work.

Also read this post: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,57832.0.html
i though i should delete the underscore, but if i do, when i try to log into cpg, i get "Fatal Error" and nothing else.  So i've been keeping the underscore on there

And this topic:  http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,58102.0.html
so i turned on debug mode and this is what it looks like right before i enable bridging:

Turn notices display off if you don't know what notices mean, i.e. if you're not a coder.

[Nibbler]

Your cookie prefix should be set to phpbb3_m8j8i - without the underscore at the end. With debug mode enabled you will get a better message than just fatal error.

[lordtygr]

ok. turned off notices and removed the underscore from the prefix.

Fatal Error with debug on now gives this:

While executing query "SELECT u.user_id AS id, u.username AS username, u.user_password AS password, u. AS avatar_url, u. AS notify, u. AS auto_subscribe_post, u. AS auto_subscribe_comment, u.group_id+100 AS group_id FROM `tygrdenc_phpb1`.phpbb_users AS u INNER JOIN `tygrdenc_phpb1`.phpbb_groups AS g ON u.group_id=g.group_id WHERE u.user_id='2'" on Resource id #16

mySQL error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AS avatar_url, u. AS notify, u. AS auto_subscribe_post, u. AS auto_subscribe_com' at line 1

i don't understand it, but it looks as though it's trying to find info from my personal (original site) site?  Using FTP the actual file structure for everything is:

http://www.tygrden.com/public_html/houstonlancers/forums
http://www.tygrden.com/public_html/houstonlancers/photos

is this where my problem lies? www.houstonlancers.com is an actual domain, it's just the files for it are embedded in my original site.  will the bridge file not recognize that? or am i totally off the mark here?  lol

Thanks again!

Get Coppermine working properly by itself before trying to use the modpack. I don't know if it supports the phpbb3 bridge.

[lordtygr]

ah... if it's that simple i'm going to shoot myself.  not dead, just like in the foot or something.  j/k

okies i'll do that, the reason i had installed it in the first place, was it was the first thing i saw when i searched for bridging phpbb3 and cpg.

[lordtygr]

alrighty, that seems to have gotten it.  too bad i'm missing a toe now    j/k 

thanks again guys!!

For the benefit of others, here's the summary / resolution:

the phpbb3 bridge file and Stramm's modpack currently are not compatible. Stramm's modpack only works with some bridge files, which are being mentioned in the sticky announcement thread of the modpack.
