www programming

Hi,

I tried many times to configure w3all phpBB integration, without success.

This is my set-up:
PhpBB 3.1.10
Wordpress 4.7.2–en_GB - in Multisite mode

Many members are registered on my forum but none on Wordpress, so I want to share the forum membership database with Wordpress (only allowing new registrations through phpBB).

I have w3all installed (but not network activated).
I activate w3all in one of my multisites, go to Settings and get "WARNING! Wp w3all miss phpBB configuration file (or you have the phpBB config.php not well configured):"
I follow instructions for manual configuration (create config.php file in wp-w3all-config directory and type correct absolute path to it).
When I save settings I get "The page isn’t redirecting properly"

I also tied pointing to config.php in the phpBB directory, with the same result.

I should point out, I'm not using subdomains.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions as I don't have any ideas about what to try next.

Hello, what cookie setting have you in phpbb?
Have you set on phpBB ACP cookie setting
.yourdomain.com as domain for cookie
and / as path for cookie?

Logout and re-login if you change setting in this way.

I've get working fine all, months ago, in a WP multisite install test, but since it was time ago, let know if still in trouble.

Hi

Thanks for your response. Sorry I didn't have time to look at this for a while.

My cookie settings in phpBB were correct (.mydomain.co.uk path: /)

I should mention that I also tried disabling all plugins and reverting to the parent theme (Twenty Twelve).

I don't know what else to try.

i will so try out the multisite mode other time ... should be no reason for which should not work ... but we'll see soon ...

Hey there,

got the issue with too many redirects as well.

This happens immediately when I log out using the Wordpress logout.
Does NOT happen when logging out using phpBB logout button.

I also could track it down to the phpbb3_xxxxx_u cookie. When I remove it the page working again. The other cookies are also not part of the problem.

My configuration is

Wordpress:
cms.mydomain.com

Forums:
cms.mydomain.com/mf2

My cookie domain settings in phpBB:
.cms.mydomain.com


Browser:
Chrome 57 beta

Thanks for taking a look into.

Best regards
Olaf

Change cookie settings in phpBB into
.mydomain.com

Logout, clean cookies, login?
