: failed to open stream: error

4evaLearnin

Hi
I am gettin the following error randomly on my page http://www.mobique.com/sharp/gx30/page8.php
This error occurs randomly hence, and when you click refresh it goes away.

The errors are below

Warning: main(/var/spool/ftp/users/mobique/public_html/../inc/setup.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/var/spool/ftp/users/knox2/lib/prepend.php on line 27

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/var/spool/ftp/users/mobique/public_html/../inc/setup.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /usr/var/spool/ftp/users/knox2/lib/prepend.php on line 27

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: database in /usr/var/spool/ftp/users/knox2/lib/prepend.php on line 41

The only php codes on the above pages are

#myFile.php parses a text file recent-reviews.txt and display the content of that file on the page <?
include '../../myFile.php';

?>
myFile.php is located on the root directory, i.e http://www.mobique.com/myFile.php

#open the recent-reviews.txt, else return an error.
<?php
parseFile('../../text/recent-reviews.txt', 'File could not be opened');

?>
recent-reviews.txt is located on the "text" subdirectory i.e http://www.mobique.com/text/recent-reviews.txt

Please help I am lost.

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: database in /usr/var/spool/ftp/users/knox2/lib/prepend.php on line 41

the error message above says the error is in file prepend.php, but from your post i don't think you are looking at this file as a possible cause

in the php.ini file, there are two values called auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file - you can edit these values to automatically include a php script before (prepend) or after (append) each script you run.

This could also be in a .htaccess file, which would make the setting only apply to certain directories

for instance, i could put the line

auto_prepend_file = /www/user/before.php

into my php.ini file, and all php scripts would have the file before.php inserted at the start

hope this helps, adam

Thanks for your replied Adam,

I am afraid I do not have access to .htaccess or php.ini file.

The error seem to indicates that it is reading another subdirectories which belongs to someone else on the server.

Code Snippet

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"iso-8859-1\"?".">";
include ('../../myFile.php');?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

</head>
<body>
<h2>
<?php
parseFile('../../_text/recent-reviews.txt', 'File could not be opened');

?>
</h2>

</body>

</html>

If I changed the following
<?php
parseFile('../../_text/recent-reviews.txt', 'File could not be opened');

?>

<?php
parseFile('http://www.mobique.com/_text/recent-reviews.txt', 'File could not be opened');

?>

The errors seem to stop coming up so far (finger crossed). I don't know why it works. I came across it during experimenting with directories path.

Is there a valid reason for this?
Why can't I use the "../../" format? I don't like hardcoding the url as it is not best practice.

Thanks
W

Forget what I said previously.
It doesn't work.
I still need help.
