[Solved]: invision powerboard 1.3 integration
« on: May 29, 2004, 10:36:22 pm »

hi...this has been asked many times here...but i dont see any answer to my problem...
i followed the steps to integrate coppermine with my ipb1.3 on my server...after doing so it sees my user groups and members fine...however when i try to login (after logging out in ipb) or logout directly from coppermine i get an error 404.  apparently i am not being redirected correctly.  can anyone help?

// database configuration
define('IB_DB_NAME', 'endingcredits_com_-_forums'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('IB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('IB_DB_USERNAME', 'endingcred'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('IB_DB_PASSWORD', '********'); // The password to use to connect to the database

// The web path to your Invision Board directory
// In this example http://yoursite_name.com/ivboard/
define('IB_WEB_PATH', '/forums');
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// You can keep the default values below if your installation is standard
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// The prefix for the Invision Board cookies
define('IB_COOKIE_PREFIX', '.endingcredits.com'); // The prefix used for board cookies

// Prefix and names for the database tables
define('IB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'ibf_'); // The prefix used for the DB tables
define('IB_USER_TABLE', 'members'); // The members table
define('IB_SESSION_TABLE', 'sessions'); // The sessions table
define('IB_GROUP_TABLE', 'groups'); // The groups table

// Group definitions (default values used by the board)
define('IB_VALIDATING_GROUP', 1);
define('IB_GUEST_GROUP', 2);
define('IB_MEMBERS_GROUP', 3);
define('IB_ADMIN_GROUP', 4);
define('IB_BANNED_GROUP', 5);


btw...i changed the cookie prefix in ipb to .endingcredits.com as a global cookie prefix...dont know if that is a problem.  i did it only after i had the problem to begin with...didnt help any!

The first thing that springs to mind is that your IB_WEB_PATH definition isn't correct, it needs to be a full URL. I would guess :-

define('IB_WEB_PATH', 'http://www.endingcredits.com/forums/');

would do the trick

sorry...i already tried that   :(
as i said it all works fine excet when i try to log in or out via coppermine...just gives me a error 404 when clicking the button
when i log in or out via the board...then return to coppermine...it is also logged in or out.
i also get a error 404 when clicking on the my profile link.

i tried both ways, the full url (http://www.endingcredits.com/forums), (/forums), and even the path from the server itself...they all do the same thing

this is really bothering me...it works fine standalone...but i dont want to force others to re-register for it.  plus i have to get this right before i can use the ipb mod to completely integrate it...it has been giving me trouble all night!


***edit***
i figured it out...it was my mistake from the beginning...i forgot to add the last single back-slash after the url...i had "/forums" instead of "/forums/"

thanks anyways! ;D

Anyone that is searching for this type of error, I encourage you to look at the settings again, and again, and again!
I was stupid enough not to look at the example in the invisionboard.inc file. So I didn't put in the http:// bit but then realised I was putting the address of my gallery and not the forum!!
Thanks to this post it made me look again and finally I figured it out.

Now I have to figure a way to delete all those tables I created by installing it over and over again. Anyone know of a tool for a novice?

phpMyAdmin is reasonably good at wiping out huge numbers of tables :) - but be careful to secure it properly if your server is visible from the Internat
