Title: Bridging CopperMine with phpBB
Post by: MegaMan1311 on July 19, 2006, 07:57:18 PM
I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpBB:
When I bridge phpBB and Coppermine, I get redirected back to the gallery, but I'm not logged in. I've read the messages that talk about the same problem, but none of the solutions work for me!

What did you tell Coppermine the cookie prefix is?

cookie prefix - www.thecybernetwork.net

There you go then. Use something sensible for your cookie prefix and it will work.

dots are not valid characters for a cookie name. phpbb notices this and changes them to underscores to protect you from yourself. Coppermine looks for a cookie with the prefix www.thecybernetwork.net which doesn't exist. Set the prefix to something valid in phpbb and then set the same in the bridge manager. The default phpbb2mysql is perfectly adequate.

Ok, I changed the cookie to thecybernetwork in phpbb and in coppermine, but it still doesn't work.

Cookie path needs to be '/'
