I have noticed that the movement with mysql back to localhost with cossacks has been complete. However my forums are still not up, do I have to change the host from mysql.x10hosting.com to localhost? If so, how because i'm totally stuck...
searched the config.php which redirected me to admin.php.
Are you visiting the url directly?
You need to open the config file either with a file editor, or with the file manager in your cPanel.
Okay, the config settings for the database appear in the "config.inc.php" in the "includes" directory.
Simply change the $CONFIG['dbserver'] variable to equal 'localhost'.
