Bridging support - I have looked and looked and can't get this to work

[Stefen]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpBB:

I get a 403 (forbidden) error when tring to logon.

the gallery page will take me to the login page of the forum, but when I enter a username and password, it comeback with a 403 error. I have tried unbridging and rebriding several times all to know avail.

Bridge is not enabled.

I reenabled bridging and the error still exists

Test account does not work.

test account was created in coopermine in non briding mode.

Also, should there be "gallery" options in phpBB adminpanel?

First fix your cookie domain in phpbb. Then fix the 'Directory Listing Denied' problem (I don't know how to fix that in IIS).

needed to add index.php to directory indexes. Thanks

Capitalization does matter on Lunix, but not on Windows. As you appear to be on Windows (as you're using IIS), this won't matter much. But you should still avoid capitalization on the web no matter what. If you were on Lunix, the correct setting would be ../phpBB
Adding index.php to the list of index files on IIS should be mandatory anyway - good webhosts perform this in advance, as the default index files on IIS are default.htm and default.html, which are useless nowadays.
