More info:

When it tries to bridge, the bridge information is blank, database name, database user, database host, etc. Trying to add these all in manually via the bridge table doesn't help.

Even after editing the mybb bridge file in coppermine to the correct way, it still doesn't get my session data, and I'm forever logged out of coppermine.

Also, I can no longer login to the bridge manager standalone for some reason, even though I supplied the correct login info.

It's no necesary to post 6 times in a road. It's enough with the first post. If you get some error search with the search button (right?) and you will get an answer.

No, I don't get an error with invalid credentials to connect to the MySQL Host.

If you don't like us posting so many times in a row, allow us to edit our posts.

Also, I can login to my bridge manager now. But I still need the session issue fixed.

Coppermine doesn't support mysqli, but only mysql. Your mybb config file is not relevant here. If you have bridging issues, do exactly as suggested in the docs, section "Bridging support". The same piece of advice can be found in the sticky thread on this board named "When requesting bridge support - mandatory!". Both the docs section as well as the sticky has been named that way for apparent reasons.

read second post for that info.

Also, I just re-installed myBB 1.4.1 with MySQL (not MySQLi) and it still keeps me logged out of coppermine even though I'm logged into the board.

Bridging to MyBB 1.4 is not supported. The bridge is for MyBB 1.02. Edit the bridge file and change

// Database connection settings
$this->db = array(
'name' => $config['database'],
'host' => $config['hostname'],
'user' => $config['username'],
'password' => $config['password'],

'prefix' => $config['database']['table_prefix']
);


That should fix the connection issue but MyBB 1.4 may have changed too much since 1.02 for the bridge file to work.

[iyeru]

I've already done that myself, but I can't login to the gallery via the board.

You need to fix your cookie path. It's set to /forum/ which means Coppermine can't read it.

What should I change then? If I go into myBB and change the cookie path to /gallery/ then MyBB cannot read its own cookies.

[iyeru]

Seems I had to change it from /forum/ to just /

[iyeru]

But now it says I'm logged in to the gallery even though I'm logged out of the board. -_-

Clear your cookies. Post a test account if you still have issues.

Your cookie path is still /forum/. It can't work like that.
