heya gonecountry ... you shouldnt have a coppermine.php in your forum root , unless you put the coppermine gallery in the same folder as the forums ..

Basically if your forums on your ftp is /www/forums/index.php ... you put the php file into /www/forums/coppermine.php

BEFORE you upload it to your ftp - change this info in the coppermine.php file

//***********************************//
//          ** SETTINGS **           //
//***********************************//

$coppath = 		"gallery";  			// Path to the gallery from the coppermine.php file
$hostname = 	"localhost"; 			// The Coppermine hostname - usually localhost
$username = 	""; 					// Coopermine Database Username
$copperpass= 	"";						// Password to the Coppermine Database
$copperdb= 		"";						// Coppermine Database
$prefix= 		"cpg148";				// Coppermine Prefix (sometimes cpg133 , or cpg11d)
$amount= 		"6";					// Amount of photos to select

//***********************************//
//***********************************//

so that it reflects the info for your own database - i have my coppermine in the same database as my forums so i need the prefix to seperate them.

Let me know if you still need help - if your really stuck ill do it for you once you have coppermine working and VBB working ok first.
