Upon further investigation, it appears that this problem is directly related to the inclusion/requirement of forums/global.php for user authentication (in my vBulletin 3.0.3 user-group permission specified link).

Specifically, the code in question follows:


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


Of note is the fact that browsing directly to forums/global.php yields the identical MySQL error noted above (1064).

Is anyone else using the above method of user authentication?

If not, what is the recommended method, please?
