Unable to load include files

[Anon]

I keep getting an error when I try to load an include file on my .php files. At the beginning i was using .inc but I tried to change it to .php and didn't work.

It's a fresh install on Win98, apache *-19 and php 4.04

what am I missing?

Paste up your code so we can have a look...

Better yet, how about telling us what the error you got was?

try using a chdir to the current directory, had the same problem it worked for me

Maybe this would help: I installed nusphere in my w98 machine and made no changes to the original config files. So httpd.conf, php.ini were not modified.

the app that I'm trying to install is IRM; I followed their install notes but all I get is this error... (I also tried including a file with the include() and didn't work either. should I be using the ssi method instead php's?

Parse error: parse error in ws.php on line 38

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'localhost/rentokil/mis/irc/ws.php'
(include_path='') in

c:\nusphere\apache\htdocs\rentokil\mis\irc\index.php on line 17

this is line 17 of index.php:

require_once('localhost/rentokil/mis/irc/ws.php');

Is there anything that I should have in httpd.conf for apache to include this files? or edit php.ini include directive?
I've tried almost everything when specifying the file paths/url's:
http://localhost...
C:\nusphere\apache\htdocs...
even putting all files in the same dir.

any ideas?
thanks.
