I cant figure out the problem so could someone help me,thanks

I think your problem comes on these line:

PHP Code:

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['servername'] "localhost";
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['username'] "adam07_chat";
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['password'] "liverpool21";
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['dbname'] "adam07_vitrual"; 


I'm thinking maybe you mean:

PHP Code:

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['servername'] = "localhost";
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['username'] = "adam07_chat";
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['password'] = "liverpool21";
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['dbname'] = "adam07_vitrual"; 


when i did what u said,this is what is said

Warning:  require() [function.require on line ]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/adam07/public_html/forum/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php49
