You have to enter the path to config.php of your phpBB3 installation.
i.e: If your installation of your wordpress is that
C:\Users\Bulma\Downloads\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\
and the installation of your phpBB3 is that
C:\Users\Bulma\Downloads\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\forum\
then then config.php path is that
C:\Users\Bulma\Downloads\xampp-win32-1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\forum\config.php
../../phpBB3/config.php
works also, thank you. I thought I must enter the path to the WP config.php – don’t ask me why ^^
Addition: with “../../phpBB3/config.php” the message vanished, that the config.php can’t be found – but I can’t activate the bridge. With XAMPP I really need to set the path with “C:\ … “.
Now the bridge works fine.
I tried to activate the bridge at my (online) blog. And still the path to the config.php makes me crazy 🙂
My Blog is at http://mydomain.tld(/wordpress, I use a redirect here)
My Forum is at http://forum.mydomain.tld
The structure of the folders is:
../mydomain/wordpress
../mydomain/phpBB3
What I have to enter to get the right path?
The right path is the full path to you config.php
In example in my blog is somethink like that:
/home/my_blog/public_html/phpBB3/config.php
in your case may is somethink like that
/home/mydomain/public_html/phpBB3/config.php
but I can’t be sure about your server a I don’t know the configuration of your server.
If you are not sure what is the full path to your phpBB3 then create a file “ie: mypath.php” into the folder phpBB3 and enter the following code in it:
echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'];
The above code will return to you the full path to phpBB3 + the file name “mypath.php”. Replace the “mypath.php” with the “config.php” and then copy all that path to use it in the plugin configuration.
Hope this help you 🙂
Thank you very much for the code snippet, it works very well.
But I think my problem is the subdomain I used for my forum, but for that problem I open a new thread.
We thank you that you using our plugin.
Please if you have time, rate our plugin and mark it as working 🙂
I understand that the issue was resolved, but I have a similar problem. It seems that the plugin makes the control that the config.php is on the same server, my phpbb forum is on a path / home / portal / public_html. Wodpress while the blog is on a path / home / lucky / public_html / web / I wanted to know if it was possible to do in order to create a bridge between the server and completely different paths, thanks.
