Changing login after failed bridging attempt

[Brivtech]

Having failed at an attempt to make a sucessful bridge http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=26541.0 I'm looking for a temporary alternative at getting this working.

Coppermine was installed into http://album.balandraconexion.com. The system works fine on it's own from that URL, however I can't login to http://www.balandraconexion.com/album .

What do I need to do to change the configuration so this works.

A reminder if you didn't read the linked thread that subdomains are set up on the server by working through a folder.

I'd still like a solution to the original problem, but also to this additional problem.

I thought I'd try something different to fix the problem, something straightforward....

The forum at http://forum.balandracnexion.com/ can't be moved without a lot of hassle. So, I thought I'd create a folder called "album" inside the forum, so the URL would be http://forum.balandraconexion.com/album, which seemed to work fine for the album installation, and separately for the forum.

However I can't get the bridge to work!

I'm using these settings:

Writing to database: full_forum_url|http://forum.balandraconexion.com
Writing to database: relative_path_to_config_file|../
Writing to database: cookie_prefix|phpbb2mysql

But it won't work. Why not? What am I doing wrong? It's the same domain, just a different folder.

Help, someone, please.  :-\

setting up coppermine in a sub-folder of your bbs is not a bright idea, and there's nothing that will make bridging easier if you do that.

Why not? I'm not an expert, so a few reasons to help me understand this would be appreciated.

and there's nothing that will make bridging easier if you do that.

So you're saying that by doing this bridging can't be made any easier - Like it's the best solution?

I'm completely confused by your response, obviously I'm interpreting it wrongly because it seems to be a contradiction in itself. There was nothing in your answer to actually assist me in rectifying the problem I have. Is it because I didn't explain the problem I have properly, or you just don't have an answer?
