I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and SMF 1.1RC3:
* ../board/Settings.php doesn't exist. Correct the value you entered for Relative path to your BBS's config file
Coppermine install: http://ynow.zendurl.com/cpg/
Forum install: http://ynow.zendurl.com/board/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.9
Forum version: SMF 1.1RC3
Test user account: test / test
BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL: http://ynow.zendurl.com/board
Relative path to your BBS's config file: ../board/
Use post-based groups?: 0
ive tried the absolute path /home2/zendurl/public_html/ynow (got it from phpinfo) no dice.
ive tried ../board/ and / and a range of combinations. Settings.php is set to 777, ive tried it at 755 also, i dont know if this makes a difference. I know im on a free host, but ive had CPG working on free hosts just fine before. Ive looked through many posts on this board about this path problem, but i just cant seem to get it figured out.
Any help would be great, thanks
../board/ is correct. I suspect there are safe mode restrictions in place that stop it working correctly. You can try to bypass the check and see if the bridge still functions.
bridgemgr.php
if (file_exists($value.$options[1]) == false) {
$return[$key] = sprintf($lang_bridgemgr_php['error_folder_not_exist'], '<tt>'.$value.$options[1].'</tt>','<i>'.$lang_bridgemgr_php[$key].'</i>');
}
change to
/*
if (file_exists($value.$options[1]) == false) {
$return[$key] = sprintf($lang_bridgemgr_php['error_folder_not_exist'], '<tt>'.$value.$options[1].'</tt>','<i>'.$lang_bridgemgr_php[$key].'</i>');
}
