SMF path problem

[John]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and SMF 1.1RC3:
   
* ../board/Settings.php doesn't exist. Correct the value you entered for Relative path to your BBS's config file

Coppermine install: http://ynow.zendurl.com/cpg/
Forum install: http://ynow.zendurl.com/board/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.9
Forum version: SMF 1.1RC3
Test user account: test / test

BridgeManager settings:
Forum URL:  http://ynow.zendurl.com/board
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../board/
Use post-based groups?:  0 

ive tried the absolute path  /home2/zendurl/public_html/ynow      (got it from phpinfo) no dice.
ive tried ../board/ and / and a range of combinations. Settings.php is set to 777, ive tried it at 755 also, i dont know if this makes a difference. I know im on a free host, but ive had CPG working on free hosts just fine before. Ive looked through many posts on this board about this path problem, but i just cant seem to get it figured out.

Any help would be great, thanks

../board/ is correct. I suspect there are safe mode restrictions in place that stop it working correctly. You can try to bypass the check and see if the bridge still functions.

bridgemgr.php

Code Select Expand


                    if (file_exists($value.$options[1]) == false) {
                        $return[$key] = sprintf($lang_bridgemgr_php['error_folder_not_exist'], '<tt>'.$value.$options[1].'</tt>','<i>'.$lang_bridgemgr_php[$key].'</i>');
                    }


change to

Code Select Expand


/*
                    if (file_exists($value.$options[1]) == false) {
                        $return[$key] = sprintf($lang_bridgemgr_php['error_folder_not_exist'], '<tt>'.$value.$options[1].'</tt>','<i>'.$lang_bridgemgr_php[$key].'</i>');
                    }
