I have been using Apache (version 1) for a long time, and now I tried out Apache2, which runs parallel on port 8080. A lot of my PHP scripts use templates and therefore the file_exists function is often used like 

if (!file_exists($filename)) die('Failed.');

Some of the scripts use relative paths and now PHP reacts differently.

On apache1 file_exists('index_content.tpl') returns true.
On apache2 file_exists('index_content.tpl') returns false.

The file surely exists. But why do I get false? I thought that the file_exists function should have nothing to do with apache, shouldn't it?
