intergration of phpbb2 and cpg1.3.5 HELP PLEASE ANYONE!!

[theweeeman]

 ???please, im new to this, had my forum running for the past six months with no trouble, then had an idea to add the coppermine gallery! The first time i bridged them i couldnt get the redirection on log out from coppermine. After working through the night i lost the forum and had to reinstall from scratch!

Now every time i start the bridge steps from scratch nothing happens! I have cookie settings correct in browser, all server info is correct ie, data base name, host name, etc.

so could you confirm the correct steps and in particular the cpg_redir.php details, cos they really fox me.
i can send all info for site to you or whoever offers help by email or pm, and would be honestly gratefull for ant help you can offer, Thanx

test acount for forum and gallery is : username...........test.....password....tester

I have tried various hacks that have been listed in these support forums and im sure im doing something wrong!




and here is the cpg_redir.php...............................................


<?php
if (!$_SERVER['www.madaboutbiking.co.uk_mysql']) {
 $cpg_host=$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
} else {
 $cpg_host=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
}
$cpg_path='http://madaboutbiking.co.uk/gallery';
header("Location: http://madaboutbiking.co.uk".$cpg_host.$cpg_path);
exit;
?>

you've edited init.inc.php und uncommented (removed the //) before

Code Select Expand

define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb');??

[theweeeman]

yup, i have, done that too! and i have set the permissions to the relevant files to 0777

[Stramm]

if you've changed the cookie name in phpbb admin then this has to be changed in the bridgefile too
cookie path in phpbb should be set to /

[theweeeman]

it has always been set to / :-\\ ive checked and double checked the cookie setings, and im 99% sure their correct. lol

[Stramm]

If I click on login on coppermine I don't get redirected to phpbb login page. This usually means you haven't uncommented define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'phpbb'); in init.inc.php. Either that or you've uploaded a modified version but not into the include dir. To make sure open a ftp connection, browse to include/init.inc.php and view the file

[theweeeman]

ok cheers! checked that, and found the file i had on my h,disc didnt match the one in my public_html . can you just explain this now, cos its really lost me! check out the link now!

http://www.madaboutbiking.co.uk/cpg135/index.php

[theweeeman]

ok so now its doin half its job! but whats the string of text above my photo gallery?

[theweeeman]

Now, im off to phpbb support to tell em how crap they are there, you lot are gods!!!!!!. It took me all of two nights workin on this and in one afternoon its sorted ..... ;Dcheers Stramm you were cool, thanx for ya time mate, the string of errors was all in the bridge file, and yes i hadnt uploaded the redirection file properly. I do like when support really works, and really appreciate all your help matey!!!!!!!!!!

mark this as done!!!!!! nice 1

[Stramm]

thanks
just wanted to ask you for your FTP info... but this way I like it more

[theweeeman]

Well i was happy til i realised i cant log in now to the gallery? can someone test it from another location???
my gallery link is posted earlier and the username is .......test........ and password ..........tester...... just cant get into gallery now and before that it wasnt redirecting after log out from gallery? im lost now lol :-\\

[Stramm]

if you hurry up and PM me the FTP details I'll have a look. Will be offline in a few though

[theweeeman]

ok on way

[theweeeman]

 Well thanx so far for your help, its still the same, i cant log in to the gallery, It takes me to php login, then i go to the forum page and click on the link for my album, and i end up back at the previous forum page. to witch im already logged into. Sorta round im circles really!

I cant find no one to test to see if it happens on another pc, and have checked my cookie settings on board, and browser but to no joy. Cant check gallery setings cos i cant log in, seem to be locked out somehow or redirection is wrong! . off to bed now, might see how you get on with it now!

May even decide to scrap gallery if its this hard lol. let me know your thoughts, and thankyou again for your help so far. Hope the details i pm to you were enough.

[Stramm]

hahaha
what have I said? min 3 times if not 4? Make sure the cookie prefix is the same in phpbb admin and in the bridge file
in phpbb it was set to phpbb2/mysql and in the bridge to phpbb2mysql

I've changed it it phpbb. If that's not in your interest... now you know what to do. The cpg_redir.php is working now too. I had prepared it already for you so there was no need to edit it. Just uploading would have done

Good luck and have fun with the gallery
