    The directions for the integration of the phpBB plugin are lacking...here's what I have so far

    plugin is installed and activated
    phpBB is in the root folder (v3.0.11)

    In the configuration page, I entered the folder hit save, that text box disappeared and a bunch of options showed up so I'm assuming that it found the files that were required.

    I have left all of the settings on the bottom as their default values

    I followed this link - aMember CP -> Protect Content -> Integrations

    and added a new integration record

    plugin - phpbb
    php usergroup - REGISTERED
    permissions - this item is available for all registered customers.

    in phpBB - I have set up the admin config data, created a forum and can post if I log in through phpBB authentication system.

    anything else to set up?

    I log into amember with a test account
    I go to http://mysite.com/phpBB/

    when I click on "new topic" it redirects me to login

    It would be a TREMENDOUS help if you guys spent a few more minutes on documentation

    So as I have understood when you go to I go to http://mysite.com/phpBB/ after aMember, you are logged in, and when you click to create new topic link you are redirected to login page?
    If so, do you use the same domain name in both scripts Root URL? make sure that domain name if exactly the same (even www. does matter)

    Just to be clear here

    I'm logged into amember before I go to the http://localhost/phpBB/

    When the forum loads - I am NOT logged in

    Ok. Please check session cookie settings in your forum and make sure that:
    1. Cookie path is set to / and not to subfolder.
    2. In aMember -> Setup -> phpBB cookie settings are exactly the same as in phpBB

    the problem was that the user I was logged in as was "Pending" if you see this - rebuild your database to make the user active then it worked fine
