[Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] "Path to config.php" on localhost (XAMPP)

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 https://mydomain.tld(/wordpress, I use a redirect here)
My Forum is at https://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.
