Hypothetical Situation:

 

I have my primary domain as www.bob.com. I set up a website in the root directory of www.bob.com. Obviously www.bob.com has its own MYSQL database.

 

Next, I add a "folder" via FTP to www.bob.com so that I can upload a "forum software" I call this folder "forum" and upload "SMF Forum" software to this folder. I then create a new MYSQL database for the forum. I run the "install.php" for the forum and it begins working under the URL, www.bob.com/forum.

 

All is well, then.....

 

Next, I decide I do not want this forum anymore so I delete the files AND I delete the MYSQL database. www.bob.com still runs fine but every once in a while I get an email telling me there was a MYSQL error because the forum database is no longer there.

 

Now, I am assuming that the database for www.bob.com is tryng to access the databse for the "forum" but since it is not there anymore I get the error message.

 

Is there any way to edit the database for www.bob.com so it doesnt try to access a database that is no longer there?
