1. Have the vb Forum installed.

2. Edit the file "vbulletin30.inc.php" under bridge folder (coppermine)

//NOTE : Your vBulletin license number is provided at the top of every php file in your vBulletin installation!
define('VB_CUST_NO', 'xxxxxxxx'); // Your vBulletin license number (NOT your customer number)
define('VB_DB_NAME', 'forum'); // The name of the database used by the board
define('VB_BD_HOST', 'localhost'); // The name of the database server
define('VB_DB_USERNAME', 'username'); // The username to use to connect to the database
define('VB_DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // The password to use to connect to the database

You can Find the licence number in any of the forum files (at the beginning)

3. Again edit the file "vbulletin30.inc.php" under bridge folder (coppermine)

define('VB_TABLE_PREFIX', 'FIND1'); // Leave empty, not supported by vBulletin 2.3
define('VB_USER_TABLE', 'user'); // The members table
define('VB_SESSION_TABLE', 'session'); // The sessions table
define('VB_GROUP_TABLE', 'usergroup'); // The groups table
define('VB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'FIND2');  // Cookie Prefix, not supported by vBulletin 2

To get FIND1 and FIND2 download "config.php" from your server with FTP (path forumroot/includes/config.php)

Now search for

$tableprefix =

this value is your FIND1 (the value after '=' sign)

Again search for

$cookieprefix =

this value is your FIND2 (the value after '=' sign)


4. Open the file "init.inc.php" under include folder (coppermine)

then search for

// define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');

replace with

define('UDB_INTEGRATION', 'vbulletin30');

5. Now install the coppermine in the same database and user/pass as vb forum.

Now this should fix all the problems and set you FREE!
