include path? i dunno...

[Anon]

this is the error i just can't seem to figure out... >

Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/lms/ganesha/php/inc/common.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.; \apache\includes;\apache\htdocs\;\apache\htdocs\phpmyadmin') in c:\apache\htdocs\lms\ganesha.inc.php on line 32

any help appreciated

would it be something to do with file/folder permissions in apache? i don't know where that stuff is if anyone knows...?

code?

code? i'm not sure what you mean, but this is what the start of the index says :

<?PHP

if ( file_exists ("./ganesha.inc.php") )
{
include ("./ganesha.inc.php") ;
}

and the bit in ganesha.inc.php says :

$inc_path = '/apache/htdocs/lms/ganesha/php/inc/' ;
$ext = '.php';
include ($inc_path.'common.inc'.$ext);

i'm on win2k, i saw something saying in windows, include paths should be other slash - \ not / - tried it, and it didn't help.

Well, assuming that <b>common.inc.php</b> is actually in the right directory and that your document director is on the "C" drive, change your code to:

<b>$inc_path = "C:\apache\htdocs\lms\ganesha\php\inc\";
$ext = ".php";
include($inc_path . 'common.inc' . $ext);</b>

and you should be ok.

hey thanks for your reply, it works beautifully. i hope i didn't sound too rude and ignorant in my first post. i just knew it would be something so simple, don't know why they didn't specify for win users...

cheers
