Re: Integration with phpBB2 on sub-domain..PLEASE PLEASE HELP

[Nibbler]

Can you post a test user account please.

Nibbler...

Thank you for responding and I apologize for not replying sooner. Works been a bear lately.

Well, in my attempt to fix things myself I am no longer as close as I thought. I brought everything except the board back to defaults so I can go through step-by-step and see where I went wrong. So now I am not even close to where I was and can't seem to get back there. I feel really stupid not being able to do this. I have been in the IT industry for 10 years but this just eludes me to no end. I am almost wondering if I shouldn't wait for release 4 and the Bridging Wizard. But I hate giving up so here is the new config for the board and the gallery:

Primary domain: www.theprimosgroup.com
Sub domain: www.familiaboricua.com (redirect at server level to folder /familiaboricua)

Folders:
Board - www.familiaboricua.com/phpBB2
Gallery - www.famiiaboricua.com/cpg132

Board Configuration Page:
Domain Name - www.theprimosgroup.com
Script path - /familiaboricua//phpBB2/
Site name - www.familiaboricua.com
Cookie domain - www.theprimosgroup.com
Cookie name - phpbb2mysql
Cookie path - /

Gallery Config Page:
Target address for ecards - http://www.theprimosgroup.com
Name of cookies - cpg132
Path - /

Here is a test account:
user - test
pswd - test

Let me know if you need me to paste any of the files modified...they are big so I'll probably need to do them one at a time..Thanks Nibbler...I really appreciate the help!!

First of all, www.familiaboricua.com is not a subdomain, calling it one just confuses things.

I am unable to locate your gallery.

Also - The target address for ecards should be set to the address of your coppermine gallery.

Man o Man...Please someone help me. I'm getting hounded by family members to get this up and running and can't. I admit defeat! I can't seem to get this running. I have reinstalled cpg into a folder named "gallery", followed ALL instructions to the letter and still can get this to work with phpBB2. I can't get it to redirect to php login screen!!!! All my files are modified according to instructions and my cookies appear to be correct! WHAT GIVES!!!

PLEASE I NEED HELP DESPARATELY!

Has anybody ever hung themselves cuz they couldn't get these to work together?...

J/k..but I do need help folks...I know you guys can do it. I have spent hours and I do mean hours reading this forum and you guys are awesome so how about spreading some of that knowledge my way? :\'( :\'(

Have you edited init.inc.php to enable integration ??

NIBBLER TO THE RESCUE!!..thanks, I know you can help.

Yes you are correct and I didn't relize my "wording" error until last night so I do apologize for that.

To explain...the domain www.familiaboricua.com is a bonified registered domain. I am forwarding it through GoDaddy to a folder named /familiaboricua "unmasked" (masking it caused other problems before I ever installed CPG so they had me unmask it). So yes, it's not a true sub-domain.

as of last night ecards is set to: http://www.theprimosgroup.com/familiaboricua/gallery/

yes i did edit init.inc.php - removed "//" before the phpBB integration line

[prmirage]

Nibbler...

If you would like admin access to my domain I am MORE than happy to provide it. I have absolutely nothing of importance up there. I'll give you admin access to the board and CPG as well. Ask and you shall receive...

I'm fairly sure you haven't edited it properly or atall. Please install Coppermine 1.3.3 as it is the most recent version.

Do you really think a reinstall of 1.3.3 is really necessary? I mean I will if I have to but I'm not really looking forward to having to do it.

[prmirage]

One thing I wanted to mention...I'm not sure why this would affect anything but I have been modifying all my files directly through Dreamweaver MX - Saving and refreshing. Food for thought...

[Nibbler]

Whether or not to update depends on how many admins you want your gallery to have  

Modify some file that would have a visible effect on your gallery and see if it changes - for example add something in your theme's template.html. Editing with anything other than a simple text editor is not recommended.

[prmirage]

admins are not an issue but I will most likely upgrade to 1.4 when it's released.

as for now...
what exactly should I modify in the template.html?

Did you review my prior post? Did i modify correctly?

[Nibbler]

The modifications are fine, but they have not taken effect on the server. I don't think they are actually being uploaded, or you are editing the right files. PM me an FTP account and I can check for you.

What I meant about updating is that someone could decide they wanted to to be admin instead of you

[prmirage]

lol...got ya...

i think your onto it Nibbler (as usual) i copied all my modified files from the server and opened them in Notepad - DING DONG - no modifications.

The integration wasn't even turned on. None of my Sql server or database info was there. It was like I never even made changes!

I just uploaded them correctly and am going to test...

[prmirage]

Holy Cow!

Now we're getting somewhere!

went to www.theprimosgroup.com/familiaboricua/gallery and page came up fine. Clicked login and this happened:

Cannot find server
http://www.theprimosgroup.com/familiaboricua/phpBB2/login.php?sid=f0af69066588304d7af86ac6b1eee1d3

So this is a step in the right direction!

[Tranz]

The login worked for me. You might be cached by dns or files.

[prmirage]

OH MY GOD!!! IT WORKS!! HOLY COW!! THAT WAS IT...MY MODIFICATIONS WERENT BEING PROPOGATED TO THE SERVER!

Man...You don't know how happy I am or how happy my family is going to be.

NOTE TO ALL - DON'T BE AN IDIOT LIKE ME. USE A TEXT EDITOR TO MODIFY YOUR FILES

Nibbler - you are the best no doubt. thank you soo much for the assistance. you can consider this thread closed and put another notch in your tech support belt.

Hopefully I wont need any more support but after the countless hours I've been on this board I am confident I will be able to figure it out. But if not I'll be back and seeking Nibbler support!
