Your problem is you're using an absolute path. Rather, you should
be using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to reference the server's
document root, i.e.

require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) .
'/includes/application_top.php');

Had you done this correctly in the first place, you wouldn't have
this problem.

Don't use relative paths - if you move the file including others,
the relative path will no longer work. This will work as long as
the included files don't move.

BTW - I normally place included files BELOW the document root. Then
they cannot be accessed via the web.

Jerry,
please read the question before replying. It is not his programming.
No need to be so offensive.

You probably mean ABOVE the document root.

BTW: why are you posting when you were so sure this has absolutely
nothing to do with PHP?

Have a coffee, take a break.
Richard.

No, I do mean below the document root. As in a lower directory, i.e.
/var/www/example (lower - closer to the root) vs. /var/www/example/html
(higher - farther away from the root).

And please show me anything in the original post which is a PHP question
- other than he's using PHP in his site. I'll be he's using HTML, also,
and maybe even CSS. Maybe those are the proper newsgroups? What about
javascript?

Oh wait - he's asking about a WEB SERVER. So maybe he should be in once
of the Apache newsgroups. There he can get good answers to what he needs.

Ah yes, I totally agree now.
He has a PHP website to transfer, but of course it is offtopic in
comp.lang.php
A PHP website is no sign that anything he says is PHP related.
Sure everyone in the apache newsgroups is going to help him with his
PHP config and includes.

I thought you being a "trainer" would be able to read between the
lines and not judge too soon.

Please Jerry, can you NEVER admit to making a mistake?
Does every other thread REALLY have to have your name at the end?

because there wasn't one!

ROFLAMO! You still can't point to a PHP question!

I'll bet he had HTML in there, also. Maybe he should have asked in an
HTML newsgroup.

And BTW - Linux is written in C. So maybe Linux questions should be
asked in a C newsgroup.

You just can't understand the difference, can you? Just because there
is PHP code involved does not necessarily indicate a PHP question.

Thanks Everybody for All the input and thought into my problem. I
finally got a hold of the original programmer and he is going to help
me get it configured properly. Apparently he ocnfigured to only run on
specific server for security reasons. He is willing to help rectify
the code.

Thanks Again Everyone!
