I just installed Coppermine 1.2.1 as standalone. I have not modified anything. I am using apache/mySQL/PHP as an internal server on my PII/W98SE PC for software development. I am planning to use Coppermine on my host for family photos, and on a friend's artist community site for an art gallery. I am testing on my PC first.
The install went normally. I have been doing this for a year, and all my other stuff is working correctly on my PC. Including phpbb amd Invision Power Board.
When I log on, it recognizes the admin logon I used during setup, and flashes the welcome message. Then it takes me to the Coppermine front page, but there is no indication I have logged on. The logon link is still there, and therer is no admin link.
I have read the FAQ, and searched this board, and read six different posts on this subject. Yes, cookies are turned on. Yes, I removed all Coppermine cookies. The same thing happens with IE5.0, Mozilla 1.5, or Firefox(Mozilla/Firebird) 0.8. (All of which have cookies turned on, and work with every other site I have ever tried) I do not want to buy Opera, as there are other great browsers that are free, and if you need Opera to use this software, 99% of the world will not be able to log on. My browser logs from my hosts show that almost no one uses Opera. Netscape 3 is more popular.
What am I doing wrong? I have removed the install script. I have checked include\config.inc.php to be sure I had the correct names in it. As I said, it even recognizes the logon and takes me back to the front page.

This is almost always a browser/cookie issue, but as you seem to have that covered, perhaps you have a corrupt file.
I use IE, and you don't need Opera, if you did, I wouldn't use the software.
Go into your db_config table, and turn on the debug mode, by changing the value to 1.
report back here what it says when you try to log on.
I just searched config.php and include/config.inc.php and did not find the word "debug" in either script. Am I missing something? I used the Find function to make sure I didn't overlook anything.

Sorry, I should have made it clear. As you cannot login, you obviously cannot get to the config page as normal.
Use a tool such as phpMyAdmin to go into your coppermine database, and turn on the debug mode there, as I described above.
One thing I noticed. All the tables are prefixed cpg11d, which would seem to indicate the last release. This is in the config.init.php script.
When I log on with what should be the administrative log on. It gives me an unauthorized error if I try to manually syaty the admin.php script.
the cookie name has not changed for the last couple of versions at least.
But your post makes me think you have set this as bridged to a bb. Have you changed any of the files such as init.inc.php.
You must get coppermine running as standalone before trying to bridge with a buletin board.
Yesterday, I tried to install phpbb/coppermine bridged. It had the exact same problems as I am having now. I deleted the folder with coppermine in it, and created a new mySQL database to place stand alone Coppermine in. I Perhaps that is the problem.
Mike
ok, so that may be the problem.
Do either of these;
1. Replace the include/init.inc.php file with the original unchanged file, OR
2. if you cannot find the unchanged file, edit your include/init.php file so that it looks like this;
// User database integration
// Uncomment the applicable line if you want to use it
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'invisionboard');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin');
// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'yabbse');
I already checked that. I deleted the entire package and unzipped a new one into a new folder before I tried again.
I also put it in a new data base.
Mike
Could this be it?
I created a folder named Gallery, which was in my www folder. Then I placed the download package in it and unzipped it. I ended up with a path that looked like this...
Localhost/Gallery/cpg1.2.1/cpg1.2.1standalone/Coppermine_Folders_&_Files
I got rid of the two intervening folders so the new path looked like this...
Localhost/Gallery/Coppermine_Folders_&_files
I did this before I ran the install script. Is it possible that the pathnames are now wrong?
mk
"Go into your db_config table, and turn on the debug mode, by changing the value to 1."
Spent a bunch of time looking through every script with the word config in it in my mysql folders. I could not find the switch you speak of. Could you direct me to where I can find it?
Mike
Use phpMyAdmin, then browse the tables that way.

Thanks.

Here is the output from debug on the coppermine front page after I attempted to log in. I hope this helps

OK,
go into your database again, and enter the config table. Check the ' cookie_path' is just a '/', nothing else.
Cookie path = /

Just wondering if there has been any progress on determining what my problem is?
Mike
just thought iwould signup and let u all know
with vb3.01
followed the instructions and could not logon
noticed that vb3.01 at least has a cookie name of bb
so i put this
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'bb'); // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2
and it worked perfectlly so far
even pulled all my usergroups into the admin coppermine side
