require_once error message

[GAMatt]

When attempting to use:

require_once('page_fns.php');

I get the following error message:

failed to open stream: Permission denied

This is in a file called page2.php however when i run the same thing in index.php it works absolutely fine. I even copied and pasted all of index.php into a new file and tried to run this and got the same error message. I am now totally confused.

I am running this in IIS on windows 2k incase it has any relevance

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I've never used IIS so this is just a hint.

Check the permissions of the calling files (index.php and page2.php) to see if they match.

If they're not in the same folder, check the permissions of the containing folders to see if they match as well.

It seems to be fixed now although all i think i have done is removed the 'everyone' permission from the page2.php file as it was the only difference i could see between the too. If anyone can explain why this would have made a difference i would be gratefull, or if they may be have some other cause i unwittingly fixed
