Yes, this is what I think is happening. I do know that global.php exists in my /forums directory because if I try http://www.bostonlove.org/forums/global.php it comes up and says

Critical Error
global.php must not be called directly.

This is very odd. I will try to run it in the same directory as global.php without any path in that line and see what happens.

If I move it into the same folder as global.php it suddenly works!

I think I'll just leave it there! Thank you very much for your help.

But, for future reference, can you explain to me why this is happening?

Should I change that line to a relative path?
