I am a newbie trying to bridge Coppermine with VBulletin 4.8.0 cpg 1.5.10
My website path is: http://www.sthelenschat.com
My gallery path is: http://www.sthelenschat.com/camera/
When I use the bridge wizard I get the following error message: /camera/includes/config.php doesn't exist. Correct the value you entered for Relative path to your bridge app's config file
I have read the forums and manual and tried every obvious path to my gallery but it will not bridge.

/camera/includes/config.php
That's no relative path, but an absolute one.
Thanks Andre. I sorted it by using the following because I do not have a forum file in my path.
http://www.sthelenschat.com
../
That worked OK, however when I try to enable the bridge I receive the following error message:
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to UDB database !
MySQL said:
The MySQL tells me nothing! I have scoured the forum queries but cannot find anyting with this error message related to VBulletin.
Seems that you have to debug the following function in bridge/udb_base.inc.php:
function connect($id = '')
{
global $CONFIG;
// Define whether we can join tables or not in SQL queries (same host & same db or user)
$this->can_join_tables = ($this->db['host'] == $CONFIG['dbserver'] && ($this->db['name'] == $CONFIG['dbname'] || $this->db['user'] == $CONFIG['dbuser']));
if ($id){
$this->link_id = $id;
} else {
// Connect to udb database if necessary
if (!$this->can_join_tables) {
$this->link_id = mysql_connect($this->db['host'], $this->db['user'], $this->db['password']);
if (!$this->link_id) {
die("<strong>Coppermine critical error</strong>:<br />Unable to connect to UDB database !<br /><br />MySQL said: <strong>" . mysql_error() . "</strong>");
}
mysql_select_db ($this->db['name'], $this->link_id);
} else {
$this->link_id = 0;
}
}
}
// end function connect
Thank you Andre.
Will reinstall and use your advice.
