Problems with my AIM bot

discofreakboot

Alright, I'm having trouble getting my AIM bot to work via the exec() command in a script on my web server. The bot relies on the BlueTOC class in order to run, so it has to require() external files contained in the bluetoc folder.

Whenever I load the page, I get this error:

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'bluetoc/bluetoc/MultiplexListener.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /Library/WebServer/Documents/newfiles/awaybot/dabot.php on line 6

However, when I run the script via my Terminal, using an identical string to that I used in exec(), it works perfectly fine.

What is causing this problem?

where is your "bluetoc" folder located? outside server root? If so, you'll need to either include the complete path to the folder/file(s) to be included, OR, add the entire path to the bluetoc folder to your path variable, and then include the file(s).

My bluetoc folder is located in the same directory as the bot is. I include('bluetoc/whatever'); and it doesn't work. I don't have this problem on Windows, so could there be some sort of configuration change needed?

Try using:

include('/bluetoc/whatever');

discofreakboot

That didn't work. Do you think this could be a configuration error?

have you double & triple checked the paths?

Seems it might be a path issue (i.e. you've got one too many bluetoc's):
bluetoc/bluetoc/whatever....
