Include from root problem

[faheem786]

Hi,

First of all I'm ashamed to ask this simple question even after seeing lot of threads about this. But I could not make it up. Please help me..

I download shopping cart scripts from some where. The structue of the folder is like this.

admin/
images/
lib/
shopping
templates/
users/
application.php
index.php
login.php
logout.php

In the application.php there are some variables needs to be set which are server related.

I'm testing this on Windows 2000 Server machine running (PHP + Apache + MySql)

//************* application.php ********************//
/* define a generic object */
class object {};

/* setup the configuration object */
$CFG = new object;

$CFG->dbhost = "localhost";
$CFG->dbname = "mymarket";
$CFG->dbuser = "root";
$CFG->dbpass = "mypassword";

$CFG->wwwroot     = "/mymarket";
$CFG->dirroot     = "/mymarket";
$CFG->templatedir = "$CFG->dirroot/templates";
$CFG->libdir      = "$CFG->dirroot/lib";
$CFG->imagedir    = "$CFG->wwwroot/images";

$CFG->wordlist    = "$CFG->libdir/wordlist.txt";
$CFG->support     = "[e-mail]";

/* define database error handling behavior, since we are in development stages
 * we will turn on all the debugging messages to help us troubleshoot */
$DB_DEBUG = true;
$DB_DIE_ON_FAIL = true;

/* load up standard libraries */
require("$CFG->libdir/stdlib.php"); // THIS IS LINE 45 SHOWN IN ERROR
require("$CFG->libdir/dblib.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/mymarket.php");
require("$CFG->libdir/cart.php");

Apache is set so that
listen 90 &
DocumentRoot "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/Apache"

Since I placed the mymarket folder in D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/Apache/mymarket I changed the following lines as

$CFG->wwwroot = "/mymarket";
$CFG->dirroot = "/mymarket";

But when I run http://localhost:90/mymarket/

the following error keeps coming..

Warning: main(/mymarket/lib/stdlib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Apache\mymarket\application.php on line 45

I tried many ways upto my knowledge but could not figured out yet even after I spent the whole day. Atlast I came here with a hope of getting some help from the experts.

Thanks for your help

I'm assuming that the following lines:

$CFG->wwwroot = "/mymarket";
$CFG->dirroot = "/mymarket"; 

are asking you to define the full server path to the www root folder

From looking ast your code, I'm guessing this would be correct:

$CFG->wwwroot = "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Apache\\mymarket";

$CFG->dirroot =  "D:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Apache\\mymarket";

Hi,

Even your can try this

$CFG->wwwroot = "D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Apache";

$CFG->dirroot =  "\mymarket";

Or you can check this in documentatino of your cart it must be given there....

but for me the way is that i have given

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your help..

It worked when I set as follows

$CFG->wwwroot     = "/mymarket";
$CFG->dirroot     = "D:/Inetpub/wwwroot/Apache/mymarket";

Unfortunately there were no manual..

Since this is on my test serverI could directly set the path because I know.

But what will happen if I host this on windows or linux server.. where I won't know the exact path

Please give me some suggestion

Thanks
Ahmad

to get the path, just write a php script with an error in it - the PHP error will show the full path of the script in error.
