my forum is installed and running properly.
now i made the changes in coppermine files as instructed (locally, still not installed in the server)
then when i try to access the gallery, it takes me to coppermine installation page.

questions:
----------
1) should i continue with installation?
2) if so, use the same database as the forum, or create a new one even though in the files i modified includes the "forum" databases?
3) or just do a fresh installation of coppermine using a new database and THEN manually modify the changes in the two files suggested?

thanks in advance.

Ironhead has the perfect fix and his tutorial is basically flawless. PM me or him for the steps. as far as your questions

1) Yes upload the files to your server (in a differnent folder off the root)
2) Yes same database, user , and password, plus make sure your VB is fully licensed!!! Every VB PHP page should have your license
3) No, the best way to integrate is to use the SAME database.
