Question Relative path, different subdomain

This is a *really* stupid question...in setting up the bridge, when it asks for the relative path to vbulletin install, I'm not sure what to give it—my blog and forums are on different root subdomains (blog.examp.com & forums.examp.com). I tried giving the bridge the relative *file* path (/subdomains/forums/httpdocs) but it isn't recognizing the vbulletin install.

I know I'm missing something stupid, but I'm a bit fried tonight. What am I missing?

Chances are then it will not work without modifying the script and may not work at all because they are on different host names.

You can give it a shot by editing the vbloader.php file:

Code:
@chdir($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $path);
Change this to the

Code:
@chdir('/full/path/to/forum/directory');
Of course, change to the actual COMPLETE file path to your forum directory.

Using the full file path seems to work, I got the 'Vbulletin has been located and is loaded into memory' message, so now I guess it's time to work on the commenting templates.

FEI, another solution that would work afaik, would be to create an alias/symlink/virtual directory across the subdomains (/blog/forums->/forums).
