It's a good idea to put your config.php file outside the
Web Server path, then you can create a new config.php with this line in it:


Code:<?php include("../config.php"); ?>


Telli,

I picked this up from the KB, it works. I can go to the admin.php area just fine, but when I click on the forums admin link I get this error.


Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: sql_db in /home/stedmanb/public_html/db/db.php on line 86


My line 86 of db.php looks like this.

$db = new sql_db($dbhost, $dbuname, $dbpass, $dbname, false);


I can go to all the other admin links just fine.

Bryan

Open your mainfile.php and find this line:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
    require_once("../../../config.php");



Change it to:

if ($forum_admin == 1) {
    require_once("../../../../config.php");


Make a backup and try that.
