I have updated my bridge file however i cant seem to get autologin to work at all. Everything was fine and dandy in 2.0.17

In phpBB the cookie details are set to "ovphpbb1" and the path is /

// database configuration
define('PHPBB_DB_NAME', 'ov'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('PHPBB_BD_HOST', 'xxx'); // The name of the database server
define('PHPBB_DB_USERNAME', 'xxx'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('PHPBB_DB_PASSWORD', 'xxx'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// The web path to your phpBB directory
// If your URL to your board is for example 'http://yoursite_name.com/phpBB2/',
// you'll have to set the below var to '/phpBB2/'.
define('PHPBB_WEB_PATH', '/forum/');

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// You can keep the default values below if your instalation is standard
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// The prefix for the phpBB cookies
define('PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'ovphpbb1'); // The prefix used for board cookies

// Prefix and names for the database tables
define('PHPBB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'phpbb_'); // The prefix used for the DB tables
define('PHPBB_USER_TABLE', 'users'); // The members table
define('PHPBB_SESSION_TABLE', 'sessions'); // The session table
define('PHPBB_GROUP_TABLE', 'groups'); // The groups table
define('PHPBB_UGROUP_TABLE', 'user_group'); // The group/user table
define('PHPBB_SESSIONS_KEYS_TABLE', 'sessions_keys'); // The new session key table
The cookie name setting in coppermines main settings is different to that in phpBB and i have definately altered my init.inc.php file.

When i try and view the gallery while logged in to the forum i never arrive logged in. Strangely enough the website index page also has some cookie functionality, welcoming you back if you are recognised. This now doesnt happen since the update either.

If anyone has any ideas, id like to hear them :) the website is http://www.octavianvanguard.net

I can't see what the problem is. If you are happy to PM me an FTP account then I can take a look from the inside.

Imaboyo

Does this ftp account have to be on the live production website? I can see you are a trusted member of this community but the data and website means a lot to me and others.

If i were to copy the forum and gallery sections to a new account would you be able to have a look on a version not visible from the internet?

Nibbler

You can create a replica of your site, but if it's not visible from the internet then there's nothing I can do with it.

It's pretty save to trust Nibbler, as he has done this before many times over, and I haven't heard of anybody complaining that he did something wrong with sensitive data. Personally, I'd fully trust Nibbler and let him have access to all the sites I run.

Imaboyo

I created a replica site after discussion with my partner :) Have PM'd details
