Problem with Hosted PHP

[pcorchary]

OK ... I'm trying to get ANY one of several different PHP OSS apps running on my hosted account - ftp only.

They ALL wind up giving me this basic error:

Warning: Failed opening '/s/code/site.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /Local/Library/WebServer/WebSites/

http://www.mysite.com/public_html/n/.sipsconfig.php

on line 88

They similarity is that it's ALWAYS that it can open something.php (include_path=''), and sometimes just (include_path=') (no trailing ').

I've tried this with SIS, MoveableType, PHPSlash, and Gallery 1.2.5. They all agree that I've got current enought version of PHP ....

My hosting service sez it's permissions problem, but even when all dirs for the app are 777, I get this ... I think it's a configuration issues on their PHP ... any suggestions?

Yes - I CAN get a basic "hello world" PHP page to work just fine.

The warning explains it perfectly. You are trying to get PHP to include other scripts, using non-existent directory:

'/s/code/site.inc.php'

Remember, include() and require() file paths are either relative, or they are explicit according to the server physical fileystem, not your Apache virtual DocumentRoot.

Thus your physical root directory is actually:

/Local/Library/WebServer/WebSites/

http://www.mysite.com/public_html/

(include_path = '') just means that there is no explicit include path specified in php.ini, so you have to either include documents using a relative path, or the full server-side directory path.

So... assuming that you want to include file 'site.inc.php' in the above-mentioned '.sipsconfig.php' file, your path should probably look like:

include("/Local/Library/WebServer/WebSites/

http://www.mysite.com/public_html/s/code/site.inc.php");

// the full, explicit path

Or simply:

include("../s/code/site.inc.php" // the relative path

This is assuming that the '/s' directory is parallel to the /n directory, which is my guess, but the path will have to be adjusted accordingly if not. -------------------------------------------
