Title: [Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] "Path to config.php" on localhost (XAMPP) Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] "Path to config.php" on localhost (XAMPP) * Resolved [genesis-zero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/genesis-zero/) * (@genesis-zero) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/) * The default value that the plugin gives me is: C:\Users\Bulma\Downloads\xampp- win32-1.7.3\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\config.php * But this doesn’t work and I tried some variations like “../config.php” and so on. Nothing worked and I got no more ideas.

I thought I must enter the path to the WP config.php – don’t ask me why ^^ * Thread Starter [genesis-zero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/genesis-zero/) * (@genesis-zero) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903200) * 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. * Thread Starter [genesis-zero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/genesis-zero/) * (@genesis-zero) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903321) * 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](http://mydomain.tld(/wordpress), I use a redirect here) My Forum is at [http://forum.mydomain.tld](http://forum.mydomain.tld) * The structure of the folders is: ../mydomain/wordpress ../mydomain/phpBB3 * What I have to enter to get the right path? * Plugin Author [Nikos Merianos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/merianos/) * (@merianos) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903325) * 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 🙂 * Thread Starter [genesis-zero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/genesis-zero/) * (@genesis-zero) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903326) * 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. * Plugin Author [Nikos Merianos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/merianos/) * (@merianos) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903327) * We thank you that you using our plugin. * Please if you have time, rate our plugin and mark it as working 🙂 * [Luckylab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luckylab/) * (@luckylab) * [15 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-phpbb-bridge-path-to-configphp-on-localhost-xampp/#post-1903374) * 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.
