Ya, that sounds about like what I was thinking Smile

I'm still a little confused about the differences between $WWW_ROOT_DISK and $DATA_DIR. $DATA_DIR appears to contain most of the dynamic data (errors, messages, tmp, files, cache), but there's also plenty of stuff in that directory that appear to be static (scripts, sql, etc). To tweak FUDforum down the lines of a multi-site configuration, there would have to be a clear seperation between what is owned by the individual site and what is owned by the host.

And sort of along those lines I'm curious, why does GLOBALS.php define the initial settings repetitiously?

for example:
$DATA_DIR = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/";
$ERROR_PATH = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/errors/";
$MSG_STORE_DIR = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/messages/";
$TMP = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/tmp/";
$FILE_STORE = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/files/";
$FORUM_SETTINGS_PATH = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/cache/";

Why not (sorry if my PHP is a little off):
$DATA_DIR = "/var/www/html/FUDforum/";
$ERROR_PATH = $DATA_DIR."/errors/";
$MSG_STORE_DIR = $DATA_DIR."/messages/";
$TMP = $DATA_DIR."/tmp/";
$FILE_STORE = $DATA_DIR."/files/";
$FORUM_SETTINGS_PATH = $DATA_DIR."/cache/";

This makes it a little clearer in the code as to the purpose of $DATA_DIR without limiting the operator's ability to customize it later.
