Here is an update on the situation.

I am using the test.php you have mentioned previously in this thread.

I have test.php in three different places on my host:

/httpdroot
/httpdroot/forum
/httpdroot/auction

Now, when I remove the chdir statement at the top of the script, in both the httpdroot and auction test.php's, the screen is just blank white, no source. The forum test.php works fine.

Yes, that would be correct. If you remeove chdir then the only way it should work is if its in the forums directory.

Previously, when I had the chdir statement at the top of the test.php's, the auction and httpdroot test.php's gave a login.php not found error, it stated it was looking for login.php in the httpdroot,

Make sure you edited the path in the login_inc.php file correctly.
What you are describing is the symptons when you are using incorrect Paths.

I've now tried various thngs with the chdir at the top, omitting it, adding another one after the require, changing the path to of the test.php file and still nothing. The only one that works is the one in the main forum directory.

PHP Code:

<?php
   chdir('/path/to/your/forums'); 
   require_once('/path/to/your/forums/global.php');  
?>

That MUST be at the very top of the page else it will not work.

just a thought, is your Hosting on a windows box?
