Edit:

Please let me know if I have not posted the required info. It seems to me this should be a simple question to answer for someone in the know.

Maybe Icould just ask this first. If my forum is installed in this location
http://www.therockpile.zeeblo.com/smf

and the coppermine is located here
http://www.therockpile.zeeblo.com/smf/coppermine

What is the relative path I need to enter into the bridge manager?

I assume the url to the forum is
 http://www.therockpile.zeeblo.com/smf
------------------------------------------------------------------------
having problems with url and relative path. I have smf1.1rc3 with tp 0.9.5 running great.
coppermine is installed and now to the bridge.

What do I put in the fields for the relative path and url with my forum the way it is

I realize now that thre may be problems with where I installed things.They were put there long before I planned on adding coppermine. Smf is in its own folder in the root  and the cpg 1.4.9 folder is in that.Permissins are set to 777 in the 2 folders

public_html/smf/coppermine

Maybe it cannot be installed with things the way they are. I don't know.

relative path=>../

Thank you for that info. Never in my wildest dreams would I have figured that is what it would be. Even now I am still a little bewildered,but think I understand.

Without generating any bad karma, might I suggest that the developers give more than the optimum scenario with regard to the relative path.The one in the bridge manager[and help file] helps people who have that exact[optimum] config.There is nothing to compare it to. Many people  have a sight that was set up before deciding to use coppermine and it is a less than optimum setup.Having just one more config to compare the differences,would help tremendously.The more the merrier I say.....I don't think there can be too many

Like:

 if you have your bbs  here and coppermine here, this  is the relative path ../board/
 but if you have your bbs here and coppermine here, the relative path would be this ../

Given that information, I could see where things were installed and why the relative path was different.

It's all relative I guess



Coppermine looks great and I look forward to using it. Thanks to all who had anything to do with it.You are to be congratulated.

Thanks again Sami

Target audience for Coppermine are people who know the basics of maintaining their website. We expect that people know what a relative path is, since it's a very basic thing.
