Hello, I posted this elsewhere but it was suggested I move it here and I have edited a little from the original post

I am trying to integrate phpBB with Drupal and for the most part it is working as expected. There are however a couple of issues that I can't seem to fix myself.

One, has anyone come up with a solution to the firefox sessions issue? With IE I can log in to Drupal just fine and when I go to the forum I am logged in there as expected, this is not the case with firefox. I have to log in a second time. Anyone?

Two, While not logged in I try to log in via phpBB but I am not redirected to the Drupal login as expected. I thought that it would do a redirect to the Drupal Login.

Three, When I go to view "my account" the information is in Norwegian. No offense to my friends from Norway but I kind of wanted to have that info display in English. This wasn't the case before installing the phpBB module and when I take it out it displays in English again. Any ideas? I am using Text Image and Captcha also. Maybe they don't play nice together.

Thanks,

Ed

1) I use Firefox almost exclusively, Opera once a month. This is the first Firefox-specific problem I have ever heard of.

The only thing I can think of is that the cookie settings in phpBB, or the defaults in php.ini, may do something the IE accepts but Firefox doesn't. I don't know what that would be though, the default values are fine. Check whether you experience the same problem on the demo site: http://kepp.net/drupal-5.1/

2) You need to tell us where you end up. Is the .htaccess file in place, and does your server support this feature? Test clean URLs in site settings in Drupal, it uses the same technique.

3) Sorry, I was sure I had fixed that before the last CVS commit. Apparently not. Search for "Antall" in phpbb.module and edit the two lines it shows up on, currently lines 199 and 203. It'll be fixed fairly soon.

I did actually fix it in CVS, but for some odd reason CVS 1.17.4 ranks before 1.18. I obviously don't understand CVS :(

Closing issue due to lack of feedback, feel free to reopen.

I was having the original author's problem number two, and was able to fix it by changing the rewritebase in my .htaccess file. I have my drupal install in a subfolder, so changing rewritebase to match the subfolder fixed this problem for me.
