I have MyBB installed under <domain>/forum/
But no matter what I do it always says $forumdir invalid

I tried:
$forumdir = "/forum/";
$forumdir = "/forum";
$forumdir = "http://www.dedeno.net/forum/";
$forumdir = "/users/dutchharbor/public_html/forum/";

But none of them work !
I'm really missing something vital here,
