Integrating/gridging Coppermine cpg1.4.10 with PhPbb 2.022

[slaytman]

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and phpbb 2.0.22:
was origanally bridged with /bbs/ but corrupted the bbs and created a fresh /phpbb2/ directory and install...both share the same db at this point   db= jeep1998_pbpbb2
cannot get the bridge going...there is a current db called jeep1998_cpg which cpg is using...only 3 users in it...does this need to be deleted? and please help me bridge.


Coppermine install: http://www.michianajeepclub.com/coppermine/

Forum version: phpbb 2.0.22

Enable integration/bridging with phpBB 2.2

Why? Select the version of phpbb you actually use - 2.0.18 or better.

[slaytman]

so...I should change the "simple name" in the db  bridge to  <phpbb2018> to match the phpbb2018.inc.php file that it uses for bridging?

[Nibbler]

Just run the bridge manager again with the correct option.

[slaytman]

did not bridge, went through wizard and just looped me back to the start..noticed code in the phpbb2018.inc.php

Code Select Expand


$this->boardurl = 'http://www.yousite.com/phpBB2';
require_once('../phpBB2/config.php');
should it not be /phpbb2'; instead of /phpBB2';

that is my path.

I tried it both ways and now I cannot login as admin or launch the recovery ...coppermine/bridgemgr.php...what happened?

[Nibbler]

You don't need to edit any files, just use the bridge wizard.

[slaytman]

I cannot login as admin or launch the recovery ...coppermine/bridgemgr.php...what happened?

I cannot connect to the manager...you try it http://www.michianajeepclub.com/coppermine/bridgemgr.php

[slaytman]

ok ...new error

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home2/jeep1998/public_html/coppermine/include/init.inc.php on line 270

I thought I would go direct to the values at the database through Myphpadmin..help me check the following settings..

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:jeep1998_bbs:localhost","jeep1998_jeep","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "jeep1998_jeep", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("jeep1998_bbs"); 

Please check settings on following...........
Database: jeep1998_BBS
Table: phpbb_themes_name
Field: themes_id  Type: SMALLINT  Length/Values: 5  Attributes: UNSIGNED  Null:  not null  Default: 0

Table: phpbb_themes  (2 rows)
under Subsilver    Field: themes_id  Type: mediumint 8  unsigned  Function:              Null:                Value: 1
under Venus    Field: themes_id  Type: mediumint 8 unsigned  Function:              Null:                Value: 2

Database: jeep1998_cpg
Table: cpg133_bridge
short_name:    phpbb2018
license_number:
db_database_name:  jeep1998_bbs
db_hostname:    localhost

I still cannot recover in the coppermine
this is the url error http://www.michianajeepclub.com/coppermine/login.php?referer=bridgemgr.php

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

Been working long hours on this...finally unlocked the board through myphpadmin since the bridgemgr was not working for me..not sure why..anyway I have the bridge working almost..meaning that from the gallary if I logon I get a redirect to the logon in the bbs (that's good) after login it redirects back to the gallery (that's great) problem is that it does not show me logged in at that point in the gallery (that's bad  :'( )

      global_moderators_group   
      recovery_logon_failures 0
      recovery_logon_timestamp 2007-03-11 17:21:30

Should any of these values be set to help tie it all together???

[Nibbler]

Why does it say 'cookie_prefix' is cpg140 - that should be your forum's cookie prefix.

[slaytman]

That was it.......solved.  Thanks
