phpBB Integrated - Server Move

[tmhall]

I have 1.2 up and running, integrated with my phpBB 2.0.4 installation, and I want to upgrade my phpBB to 2.0.8a. My plan is to do the upgrade on my test server then, when it's all working, upload it to the live server. So I downloaded a copy of the whole site to my test server, as well as a copy of the database. Now I can log in to the forum on my test server as usual, and I can login and access CPG if I disable the phpBB bridge, but if I don't disable the integration I get "You are not authorized to view this page" when I click on my photo gallery link.

Any ideas?

Bump.

no idea, that's why I didn't post in the first place. I guess it's the same with the other supporters. You surely didn't want to hear "it doesn't work because you made something wrong"

Hehe.   Okay, fair enough. The problem is, though, that I didn't install it, so I'm trying to reverse engineer what the other guy did so I can upgrade phpBB without losing all the comments on each photo. I'm thinking I can just dump the cpg tables and reinsert them after the upgrade, but I wanted to test it out first. Any tips?

Thanks.

yes, if you want to keep your data, making a backup (dump) of your database is of course mandatory.
As long as the new server isn't live and you're free to play with it, you could as well set up coppermine from scratch on the new server, copy the content of the albums-folder to the new server and restore the original database (well, except the config maybe). Make sure you have two dumps: one that will create the structure for you and one that will fill the structure with data. If you install from scratch and decide to fill the database with the old values from the dump, just use the dump that contains only the data.

Okay cool. Thanks.

Okay I figured out the first issue. I had to add index.php to the directory index section of my httpd.conf  

Now... I have an issue others have mentioned, and though I've read every thread here on the subject and the documentation a million times, I can't seem to get past it.

I log in to the forum, click on the photo gallery link and get taken back to the login page instead of into the gallery as it should. Then if I try to log in there, nothing happens. The page just refreshes. I've checked all the files and settings repeatedly.
