coppermine-gallery.com/forum

Hi all,

I just can not get coppermine to integrate with our pHpbb forum:

Forum: http://betraythis.com/forum
gallery: http://betraythis.com/gallery

Forum cookies:
Cookie Domain:betraythis.com
cookie name:etraforu_phpbb
cookie path:/forum

here is the code from phpbb.inc.php

// database configuration
define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'betrayth_teamavsforums'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', '*******'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', '*******'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// 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/');
// Logout Flag
// the value of this boolean constant depends on your phpBB version:
// If your version of phpBB is 2.0.4 or lower - change the value to FALSE;
// if your version of phpBB is 2.0.5 or newer - leave it as TRUE
define('PHPBB_LOGOUT_GET', TRUE);
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// You can keep the default values below if your instalation is standard
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// The prefix for the phpBB cookies
define('PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'etraforu_phpbb'); // The prefix used for board cookies

// Prefix and names for the database tables
define('PHPBB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'phpbb_'); // The prefix used for the DB tables
define('PHPBB_USER_TABLE', 'users'); // The members table
define('PHPBB_SESSION_TABLE', 'sessions'); // The session table
define('PHPBB_GROUP_TABLE', 'groups'); // The groups table
define('PHPBB_UGROUP_TABLE', 'user_group'); // The group/user table


and I have uncommented the line in init.inc.php specifically
define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb');

The problem is I access the gallery, click on "log in" which then redirects me to the forum.  I log in and it redirects me to the gallery...where it still shows that I need to login?  If I click on log in again, it redirects me to the forum where I am listed as already logged in.

...and coppermine, in the standalone un bridged mode, never shows me as logged in.  I always see the "log In" option.

Any help would be appreciated.  TIA.

Sorry forgot to add

user: test
password: chomper

try that in your phpbb config

Cookie domain:                            (<- nothing, empty)
cookie name:etraforu_phpbb
cookie path:/

well that seems to have fixed it...though I did have to delete the cookies for the forum which was to be expected.

BTW, is there a reason that the cookie path has to be / instead of what I had?

Thanks for your help stramm.

The cookie path restricts the scripts that are allowed to read the cookie. If you set it to /forum then only scripts located in the /forum directory are able to read the cookie. If you do this then Coppermine can't read it in order to authenticate you. By setting it to /, your entire site can read the cookie.

Edit: If you were to set it to /gallery then your forum wouldn't see the cookie. You can only specify a single path, so / is the only option that will work.

That makes sense.

Now I have a different issue.  I can log on to the gallery just fine, but when in "user mode" and I try to upload a picture it says I don't have authorization, or something like that, to post in any albums.

The only groups that I have denied are the guest and banned users groups all others have permissions to post pics.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
