The full warning is:
Warning: Failed opening '/home/cd/public_html/template.php'
for inclusion (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0

I got this error with PHP 4.0.4pl1 and PHP 4.0.5-dev.  The
file above, template.php, works fine if I name it 'asdf.php'
or 'index.php', but every other name I've tried generates
the warning.  The content of the file doesn't matter.  It
could be empty, HTML, PHP, or HTML/PHP.

The following is from phpinfo():

Does this problem happen consistently?  I.e., will an include() that fails, always fail, or does it fail randomly?

If it happens consistently, any chance you could give us temporary access to your machine so that we can debug it?

I can't reproduce this. Is this reproduceable on your system
or not?

Yes, I still get the error, even after installing 4.0.5.  I'm not using that computer right now, but it's an IBM ThinkPad A20m running Debian testing/unstable, Linux 2.4.5.  I connect with a 56k modem when I do use it.  I do keep it reasonably up to date with apt-get.  Apache, PHP, MySQL, and modperl are all compiled from source.

I'm willing to give you temporary access, if you still want to.

To answer your first question:
It's consistent, not random.  And I don't know at what point it broke.  I did a lot of PHP development on it last year without problems, then after a few months of not developing on it, I resumed and discovered this bug.

Also, I use require(), not include().  I'm not sure if I tested it with include().

Turned out to be a permissions problem.  <sigh>
