I'm trying to intergrate coppermine with phpbb forum. what i done now is edit the phpbb.inc.php in the "bridge" folder... i dont know how to set up the file
// database configuration
define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'faizal_phpbb1'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'faizal_phpbb1'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxx'); // The password to use to connect to the database
i think this is the db setting for my phpbb... i dont know the password coz i had installed phpbb using fantastico... can i create a new user for that database so i can use the username in the setting above? actually i already create one, and i try with the new username [which is under 'faizal_phpbb1' database] ... but it failed.... nothing happen, when i log into the forum, it didn't logged into coppermine photo gallery yet. and when i try to log in into coppermine photo gallery using the username that created at the phpbb forum, it also failed....any other setting should i modified?
and yeah, i already edit the below setting also.
// The web path to your phpBB directory
// If your URL to your board is for example 'http://yoursite_name.com/phpBB2/',
// you'll have to set the below var to '/phpBB2/'.
define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/forum/');
I'm so screwed right now.... hopefully someone can help me :-[
You can get the phpbb db password from phpbb's config.php, I think.
Just to clarify, did the board and gallery work before bridging? Could you log into either?
yes, i can log in into coppermine and phpbb. no problem with those. but when i log in into coppermine, i didn't log in into phpbb yet [vice versa] ..... coz they're using different db .... right?
to do bridging, do i just have to edit the "phpbb.inc.php" file?
The integration instructions specifically state that they must be in the same db.
You can export the cpg tables and import them into the phpbb db.
err... export coppermine pg tables into phpbb database? thats it? no renaming needeD? i wish i know how to export the tables.... i will try..
As long as they use different prefixes for the tables, they can exist in the same db
sorry to bother u again, but do i need to export all the tables?
i'm using phpMyAdmin to export.... but i dont know how to export!!! please help me!!!! *screwed*...
what i did is go to cpg database, tick all the tables available, and then click "export" button.... then another page will appear... i select all the tables, and click go.... then another page appears with lots of text in it... something started with :
-- phpMyAdmin SQL Dump
-- version 2.6.1-pl2
-- http://www.phpmyadmin.net
--
-- Host: localhost
-- Generation Time: Mar 18, 2005 at 03:07 PM
-- Server version: 4.0.24
-- PHP Version: 4.3.10
--
-- Database: `faizal_copp1`
--

what should i do next? sorry for asking lots of questions but i really dont know how to do this.
Export all the tables to the Phpbb DB?
I have also a bridge between Phpbb and Coppermine but i'm using 2 differents databases and everything is working fine... In my eyes all you need to do is check 2 files: on your board "config.php" and on your gallery "bridge/phpbb.inc.php"
The next values have to be exactly the same:
On config.php "$dbhost = 'XXX'" and on phpbb.inc.php "define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'XXX')"
On config.php "$dbname = 'XXX'" and on phpbb.inc.php "define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'XXX')"
On config.php "$dbuser = XXX'" and on phpbb.inc.php "define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'XXX')"
On config.php "$dbpasswd = 'XXX'" and on phpbb.inc.php "define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', 'XXX')"
If something is different most of all the "config.php" file is leading.
