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_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!

PS: do NOT use the integration script given in vb.org site use the default (vbulletin30.inc.php under bridge folder) integration script that comes with the cpg 1.3.2

I'm running 3.0.7 on my test board, and following these instructions fixed my login problems. Initially, I was being redirected to my bb where I was already logged in, and when I returned to my gallery, I wasn't logged in. I think this was referred to as the "login-loop" LOL

Anyway, for those of you still experiencing the same issue, you may want to CAREFULLY follow the above solution.

Thanks a bunch!
