I have recently moved my forum from SMF over to vBulletin and after that was running smooth I upgraded coppermine. All went smooth except that I can't login to coppermine now, even under my admin account, I get the following error: You don't have permission to access this page. 

When I request my password be emailed to me it says that the email address can't be found.

The gallery works and shows all of the previous albums but none of my users including myself can get logged in. This is a problem - I need the admin account working so I can set up the bridge to vBulletin.

Any ideas where to start?

Wild guess could be : you are bridging your gallery to the forum and as you said , you change the forum
So you need to disable bridge (read doc. for how to) and then re-bridge with correct setting and bridge file
- Post a link to your gallery

Not related to install, but bridging. Moving accordingly.

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine 1.4.13 and vBulletin 3.6.8:

You don't have permission to access this page.

Coppermine install: http://forum.svrider.com/photoalbum/
Forum install: http://forum.svrider.com/
Coppermine version: cpg1.4.13
Forum version: vBulletin 3.6.8
Test user account: sorry - can't login so I can't set up any test accounts

BridgeManager settings: (Can't get into bridge manager to set these but they should be as follows:)
Forum URL:  http://forum.svrider.com/photoalbum
Relative path to your BBS's config file:  ../
Use post-based groups?:  1
Cookie name/preifx (if applicable)


Old installation of SMF is no longer on the server as it has been upgraded to vBulletin 3.6.8 - in doing so all users passwords needed to be re-entered and I am wondering if this is why coppermine no longer works. Even my original admin account password no longer lets me in. However I see that new users are signing up in the photoalbum which is a problem because they are posting spam.

It appears bridging is turned off "0" in phpMyAdmin, otherwise new users couldn't sign up for the gallery alone. When bridging is turned to "1" I get the following error:

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'bridge/.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/svadmin/public_html/forum/photoalbum/include/init.inc.php on line 239

I am at a loss as bringing disabled won't let me login and enabled produces errors. I am willing to start over with a new installation but would like to be able to import all previous photos... ideas?

Test user account: sorry - can't login so I can't set up any test accounts

That's nonsense: the test user account must be created in the app you bridge with - in your case vB. As Coppermine doesn't interfere with your forum, you should be able to access it no matter what. Therefor, you should be able to create a test user account as well.

did you change any core file ?

I found (on an older computer) the originl admin user id and pass to log-in. I got it all working now.

Cheers!
