also tried with
$forumpath = "https://www.mydomain.com/forums/"; (yes secure domain)
$forumpath = "c:\domains\mydomain\wwwroot\forums"; (IIS Server nomenclature)

and my php test file looks like (in mydomain.com/forums/music with login_inc in mydomain.com/:

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('../forums');
require_once('../forums/global.php');
echo getcwd();
chdir ($curdir);
echo getcwd();
?>

....

<?php
echo getcwd();
require_once('../login_inc.php');
?>
