I installed Coppermine today and after follwing the instructions for integrating CPG with vB, I am having no luck.  When I go from my vB instance, the Coppermine menu still shows "login" as an option.  When I click on "login", I am redirected back to the main page of my forums.  Can you help?

Hey Tom,

We also decided to reinstall the whole shebang at www.bmwlt.com (just to make sure the forums.bmwlt.net domain wasn't causing the issue).

I've updated the URL and testuser information in the first part of the post.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Your VB_COOKIE_PREFIX should be 'forums_', not 'bb'.

I think that did the trick, but now we're onto the next problem.  Now I get the following error when I go to http://www.bmwlt.com/files

Fatal error :
There was an error while processing a database query

OK, disable the bridge, enable debug mode, re-enable the bridge, and post the real mysql error message that you get.

The error is:

While executing query "SELECT userid as user_id, username as user_name, usergroupid as mgroup, password FROM `forums`.user WHERE userid='2'" on 0

mySQL error: Table 'forums.user' doesn't exist

It appears we have vb3_ prefixing all the vBulletin tables.  Do you know where there might be a DB_PREFIX?  I'll go look in the init files.

Are your Coppermine and bbs tables in the same database?

It's the VB_TABLE_PREFIX setting in the bridge file.

Yep.  And I found the table prefix variable and added 'vvb3_' to it.  Looks like it's working like a charm.

Thanks for your  help!!!
