Ok, I had to reinstall my forum. My gallery previously was infact bridged with my forum and I disabled people being able to register because its bridged. Well since I reinstalled phpbb. My gallery thinks its still bridged but its not. If I click login it takes me to the forum to login then I click it to login but then it takes me to my gallery again but I am not logged in. I read about the bridge manager but since I cant login at all how am I suppose to fix my issue? I hope I dont have to reinstall coppermine but if I do is there a way for me to back up my files first?
Damn I wish this didnt happen, so many problems lately.
Here is my gallery http://www.garbagewars.com/gallery/
Please help me fix this, Im guessing maybe there are files I can manually edit to fix this or at least let me login?

ok thanks for that link but how can I back up the database or err I want to back up everything, all of the images,comments, etc. Cause I plan on reinstalling my gallery and I dont want to lose all of the files that were submitted.
Use databse tools under your hosting control panel (if you have) Or use phpmyadmin and use Export command
See Tools recommended by the devs (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=31423.0). There's no need for a fresh install though, coppermine is not a desktop app that you un-install and re-install to fix issues. Keep your existing install, back up everything (because it's always good to have a backup you can go back to in case things go wrong) and then modify as you see fit. If you think you have messed up the code, re-upload the coppermine files as if you were performing an upgrade.
