SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 / CPG 1.4.19 - Cannot login to gallery after bridging

[Scraps]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge Coppermine and SMF:  Cannot log in to Coppermine after completing bridge.

Fresh installs on both with no data except what I've tested with. I've reinstalled Coppermine, then the bridge again. Deleted cache and cookies many times. Tested on both Firefox 3.0.1 and IE 7.0 with same results.

Both applications worked and tested well as stand-alone's. Once bridged, login took me to the forum but when returned to the gallery it shows as not logged in. I've tried everything I've found in the docs; I've read support posts back to 2004 with different versions and different apps and tried everything suggested with no results. Perhaps another set of eyes can see what I've missed!

Coppermine install: http://www.thevintageveranda.com/gallery/
Forum install: http://www.thevintageveranda.com/forum/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.19
Forum version: SMF 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public

Thanks so much for any help!

I also used the latest bridge pack - released on 8/10; forgot to mention that in my post.

Would love some help if any is available. I've left it alone for several days so that it can be looked at, but I have to start developing at some point. It would be ideal if I could have a working bridge before I do.

haven't tried it with smf 2.0 so I can't help you much here

supported bridge files you see here

For now I've added bridge files for PhpBB 2.0.18, 19, SMF 1.0x and punbb

Yes, but that was written in February of 2006, and there is now a bridge file for smf 2.0, yes?

Not for the modpack. If no user contributes one, it may need some time till I come up with one (if I do).

Gotcha. Thanks.
