'/home/user/public_html/forum'

It must match the real path to these wwwboard items:
passwd.txt
data.txt
messages/
faq.html
index.html

If you have these settings:
$mesgdir             =3D 'messages';
$datafile            =3D 'data.txt';
$mesgfile            =3D 'index.html';
$faqfile             =3D 'faq.html';
$ext                 =3D 'html';

The relevant files need permissions of:
=2Drw-rw-rw-  data.txt
=2Drw-r--r--  faq.html
=2Drw-rw-rw-  index.html
drwxrwxrwx  messages
=2Drw-rw-rw-  passwd.txt

$baseurl then sets the public location of the board as a http:// address.
