So, called back to GoDaddy and this is what they sent me. Given my ignorance - does this or does this not help me at all in terms of succeeding in the connection that is currently failing? This is called: MySQL connection string with PHP <?php //Sample Database Connection Syntax for PHP and MySQL. //Connect To Database $hostname="your_mysqlserver.secureserver.net"; $username="your_dbusername"; $password="your_dbpassword"; $dbname="your_dbusername"; $usertable="your_tablename"; $yourfield = "your_field"; mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ("<html><script language='JavaScript'<alert('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.'),history.go(-1)</script></html>"); mysql_select_db($dbname); # Check If Record Exists $query = "SELECT * FROM $usertable"; $result = mysql_query($query); if($result) { while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $name = $row["$yourfield"]; echo "Name: ".$name."<br>"; } } ?>

Sorry for wordiness. I wanted to be as specific as possible. I actually prefer to do it the way Rick suggest. Mostly because this URL will never have other software. My main website is already created and have hyperlinks imbedded throughout to the root to which I'm trying to install. My host didn't have time to install, set up and configure in time for our Monday launch, which is why I reserved hosting space on GoDaddy (and they couldn't support hosting only a sub-domain, which was my hope, so I created a unique domain for forum). So, the main Web site has been changed so that all references to the forum point to the http://www.littlepilgrimsforums.com. Of course, I could have them change that Monday AM prior to launch to be http://www.littlepilgrimsforums/forums easily enough. I might have to do this, because I tried Rick's suggestion and I'm having issues. I moved everything up to root. I edited the includes/config.inc.php file as per Rick's suggegstion. Now, when you go to root it would show UBB.threads hyperlinks, but none of the style etc (though I confirmed that all UBB folders had been moved successfully from /forums sub-directory and into the root directory). I've since moved everything back to the forums folder, and all is well on that sub-directory. If I redirect, then I presume it would not require my developers on main site to update hyperlinks, correct? If the main Web site hyperlinks to the root domain, which is inturn redirect to sub-directory, all would be well, correct? If so, I could use advice on how to redirect. I notice through the domain manger on godaddy I can forward, but I think redirecting is differnt. I tried to forward the main domain to the subdirectory, but the software called the subdirectory an invalid format for forwarding.
