You must use the FULL path.  Normally, it will already be in the box when you get to it.

If you don't know the path, you can either:

a. Ask your webhost.
b. Find out with PHP.
On linux:

Code Select Expand

<?php print `pwd`; ?>On windows:

Code Select Expand

<?php print `cd`; ?>
This should be similar to what YaBB SE's installer uses to default the box....

Alright got it work now, a question for anyone that has used Portland Communications for a host.  Anyone know where i can get info on where to get the username, password, database, and server name for MySQL.

Copy it into notepad, and then click File->Save As...

Type "testing.php" (WITH the quotes, yes) into the save box, and click ok.

Now upload the file to your server, in the same directory as yabbse.

When you are done with that, go to the script with your browser.  (ie. http://yourbrowser.com/yourfolder/testing.php)

And see what it says.
