[Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] Bad path entered and now cannot enter correct path

    I downloaded the latest versions of WordPress and phpBB3 within the last two weeks. I downloaded the phpBB bridge today. The plugin could not find the config.php file but that was to be expected given that I had phpBB3 in /var/www/phpBB3 and wordpress in /var/www/rattan. I entered the path manually BUT I made a typo. Not realizing my error, I activated the plugin. Now I can’t correct the path. When I enter the correct path and hit “Update Options” I get the following error message…

    “The requested URL /phpbb3/ucp.php was not found on this server.”

    Of course it wasn’t. The “bb” in the path should be capitalized, but since I made an error I now cannot correct it.

    I’d like to back out of the whole thing and try again but I can no longer get back to the plugin page to delete it. My next step it to enter the console and delete the wp-phpbb-bridge directory. Let’s see what happens….OK. It logged me out. I logged back in and WordPress noticed that I deleted the directory. It has deactivated the plugin.

    I’ll try again but I wanted to alert you all to this possibility.

    I tried reinstalling but apparently it remembers the bad path from the previous install. Where is the path located so that I can edit the file (or database) manually to correct this error? Or how to I completely scrub wp-phpbb-bridge so that I can start again clean?

    I entered the console and created a symbolic link between phpBB3 and phpbb3. I then deleted the plugin via WordPress admin panel. I was then redirected to the phpBB. Now I cannot log back in to WordPress admin panel.

    OK . . .

    You have make many thinks wrong but it’s ok ??

    Thw mistakes are good start to learn ??

    First of all remove the symboli link to phpBB3.

    Then open your MySQL databese and open up the table wp_options and then execute the following SQL query:

    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'wpb_path'

    Then edit this record. Change the option_value field to show into your config.php corectly this time ??

    I hope his will solve your problem ??
