Hello. Another new user here. I have just installed Coppermine ver 1.4.10 (stable) sharing a MySQL database with my phpBB forum database. Forum is a phpBB forum version 2.0.22 and is currently stable. I plan to bridge the coppermine gallery to the forum once the gallery is functional and working properly.
Gallery url: http://troop445.org/members/gallery
Forum url: http://troop445.org/members/forum
Cookies for the forum work normally.
Forum cookie domain: .troop445.org
Forum cookie name: troop445_forum
Forum cookie path: /members/
The /members/ directory allows us to password protect information for Troop members only. I have set up a temporary user/password to allow access to the /members directory so I can get some help with this issue. User: coppermine Password: test
When I navigate to the gallery (http://troop445.org/members/gallery) I am shown the home page. When I log in, I am presented with both the user and admin tool bars. If I try to access any of the tool bars, I am given a new screen stating "Error: You don't have permission to access this page." If I log in again, the program takes me to the page I was trying to access. When I try to submit any changes, I get the same "Error: You don't have permission to access this page" message. Therefore, I cannot set up a test account on the coppermine gallery to allow anyone to test my settings.
I have access to myPHPadmin to make any changes needed in the database. I have changed the gallery cookie name to "gallery." The current gallery cookie path is "/" as instructed everywhere. I thought to change the cookie path to "/members/" to mirror the path for the forum, but have not done so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel that coppermine offers our users a better gallery than the other phpbb add-ons.
Thanks!
Sorry, forgot to include that I huse IE6 and Zone Alarm Security Suite, both with all cookies allowed for troop445.org and have no problems with holding the cookies for the forum.
Thanks.
The .htaccess auth is a double layer of security that you don't need imo. Just disable registration for new members and set both your forum and your gallery to be members-only. This should be all it takes. Not sure what your actual question is though - does your admin login not stick?
GauGua,
The .htaccess is required by the Scout regulations - just another very small hurdle hackers must get through.
My main problem is that my admin login will not stick. I must re-login over and over to access any page, and any changes I make are not held because the login did not stick.
Thanks.
GauGau,
I have just signed on to the gallery from my computer at work. I did not receive the red "Warning: Your browser does not accept script's cookies" message when logging on, and the admin user/password held.
I assume then that this is an issue with my home computer, but I as stated earlier, I have set both IE6 and my Zone Alarm to accept all cookies from the troop445.org domain.
Can you shed any light on this now?
Thanks!
