Accounts not recognized after bridging to SMF

[mrandall131]

I just installed coppermine this morning.  I then enabled the bridge module and thought everything was fine.  So I went back into the gallery and tried to login.  It directs me to SMF to login, but then, when I go back to the gallery, it doesn't recognize that I am logged in, so I can't access the admin pages.

[edit]
Forgot some info.

coppermine 1.4.3
SMF 1.1RC1

your cookie domains differ: one has a leading www, the other hasn't. Cookie domains have to be the same, preferably .northeastatvers.com (notice the leading dot)

[mrandall131]

So how do I change it?  I can't log into coppermine at all. Do I change it in SMF?

Sorry, new to all this.

[Joachim Müller]

you should change it in both apps. Undo the bridge, log in with your "standalone" admin account, set things up accordingly, re-bridge. Similar thing for the bbs.

[mrandall131]

Sorry for the stupid questions but how do I undo the bridge?  Delete the entry in the bridge table in the database? Is there another entry somewhere else that enables the bridge?

[Joachim Müller]

in coppermine's config table, there's a switch named bridge_enable or similar as far as I remember

[mrandall131]

Thanks, and 'll look for the cookie thing.  Can you point me in the right direction for coppermine?

[Joachim Müller]

erm, what?

[mrandall131]

I understand the problem, but I do not know where to start to correct the problem.  You said I need to change the cookie domain name, how do I do that for coppermine?  Is it an entry in the configuration table? 

I am asking on the SMF site too, but where do I change the domain name in SMF (if you know)?

Ok, I found where it is in SMF, and it is http://www.northeastatvers.com/forum .   Checked in coppermine and the url is http://www.northeastatvers.com/gallery/ .  I don't understand. Aren't they the same thing?
