I figure it out, when I changed my index.php file it gave me this error so i replaced it back and it works fine. But, my next question is how do i "run a query on my database". Sux being a noob. Im determine to put up that shoutbox or chat box.

An excellent web based MySQL administration tool is freely available at
http://www.phpmyadmin.net

Installation is a 2 minute issue and you can deep dive into your db, add content, delete content, dive into the structure.

Please note:
- You should protect the phpMyAdmin page accordingly as it has no strong built in security.
- Generally there should be no need to play with the vB database, at vB maintains it pretty well. While you CAN use direct MySQL access parallel to vB, chances are, that you manipulate or erase data which is required for the board. So handle with care, please.

I put in the shout box, queried my server and got it on. It is now on a page called www.myurl.com/forum/shoutbox.php Its on but when I type then press shout it gives a 404 error. Is there anything else I can do? I want to put the shout on my home forum page and want it to work too.
