Ok I tought I did everything corectelly... but when I go to my forums in /forums2 and try to login, I enter my pw and everything and hit login.. but it just sends me back to the forums main page.. and i'm not logged in.
So I go over to my gallery in /gallery and hit login... it takes me here
http://www.spudfiles.com/forum2/login.php?redirect=cpg_redir.php
And I get a 404
I hit register and it takes me to...
http://www.spudfiles.com/forum2/profile.php?mode=register
And I 404 again.
I know I just set something up wrong but I am too blind to see it.. any help please? :)
post link to gallery, test user account (non-admin) of your bbs, the bbs version you use, the content of your reidrection file and your bridge file (replace password with asterisks).

P.S. In the future, use a more descriptive subject line to attract supporters or users who might know the answer...
Wow I could have swore I already posted all of the info.. guess i'm looseing it :-P
Gallery - 1.3.2 - http://www.spudfiles.com/gallery/
phpBB Forums - 2.0.10 - http://www.spudfiles.com/forums2/
And I made a new login... username "test" password "test".. but you can't login into the forums or gallery it's part of my problem :-\\
Here is my redirection file...
<?php
if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
$cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
$cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='/gallery';
header("Location: http://".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>
And bridge file.. it's a bit long so I cut it so it would let me post it :)

Ok I found one of my problems... in the bridge file I had /forum2 when it's really /forums2
So all of the links work now.. but still when I try to login it just does nothing. When I hit the login button on the gallery it takes me to phpBB login, I use my username and pw and it just takes me back to the gallery not logged in.
Your board isn't even setting any cookies - thats the problem, you'll have to take a look at its setup.
The board cookies are set at whatever they were default.. but it did say cookie domain and it was blank so I added "http://www.spudfiles.com".
And I can't login to change anything... happen to know what file the cookie settings are stored in for the board and what I should set them to?
'http://www.spudfiles.com' is not a valid cookie domain - that's probably why they are not working. I suppose the setting to change would be in the database somewhere, but I don't run a phpbb forum so I don't give you directions.
Ah ok I got that out of there and now it's working!!!
YAY!
Ok now time for 1 more question.. how could I make a simple page to use to login, then after you use that login page it would just redirect you wherever? What I wanted to do is like have a simple login/logout/remember me box on my main website... when you logged in you would be logged into the forums and to the gallery.
I guess i'm asking how to make a very simple portal page that will be used in an include :)
we have a one question per thread policy on this board, and your question is not related to coppermine, as login isn't managed anymore by coppermine, but your bbs. That's why I locked this thread and tagged it as [Solved].
You're supposed to ask such a question on the support board of your bbs. You could however take another look at the integration instructions (http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#integrating_steps_special_phpbb_start) and check if you can use the redirection page that is suggested to be set up.
