You lost me in just about everything you said. LoL

OK. Let's try this again, shall we? Smile

Do you know the difference between a symbolic link and a real file? If not, check that out first before you try to understand the rest of this post.

The following example will use paths /example/path/forum/ as the forum main dir and /example/path/data/ as the forums data dir.

The file GLOBALS.php exists in one place, which is /example/path/data/includes/GLOBALS.php. But there are symbolic links (symlinks) in two places, both of which point to the file in /example/path/data/includes/. These two symlinks are: /example/path/forum/GLOBALS.php and /example/path/forum/adm/GLOBALS.php. If you wish to edit any settings in GLOBALS.php directly, please make the corrections in the real file (ie. /example/path/data/includes/GLOBALS.php), not in the symlinks.

To fix your problem, please recreate the symlinks in /example/path/forum/ and /example/path/forum/adm/. This can be done by issuing the commands 'ln -s /example/path/data/includes/GLOBALS.php /example/path/forum/GLOBALS.php' and 'ln -s /example/path/data/includes/GLOBALS.php /example/path/forum/adm/GLOBALS.php' at the shell prompt.

I don't know that much about PHP. This my first excursion into it.

This isn't actually a php issue, rather basic unix know-how. But everybody has to start somewhere... Smile

Hope this helped clear things up for you. Feel free to ask if you still don't understand.
