Try setting the include path to "."

Derick,
I did. It had 0 effect. I am still getting the same error.

this entry is typed from the php.ini file exactly:

include_path=".";

Can you put up the output of phpinfo(); on the net?

try http://206.102.15.235/test.php .  If you can't e-mail me
and I will send you a copy of my php.ini file. It won't cut
and paste into this form for some reason.

Derick,

intranet. what did you want to see?

Derick,
I have changed the include_path in my .ini file. I have
shutdown and restarted the apache server also. I notice the
path does not change

What is the location of your php.ini ? It should in /etc from what I"ve seen from teh phpinfo() output.

it is in the /etc directory.

Derick,
check your e-mail. I sent you my ini file.

can you check the permissions in 'path' please as this could be the cause of it (if PHP cant read the file due to permissions)

- James

no feedback, considered fixed.

I've trying to solve the problem below for 3 days. 

I have an auto_prepend_file and it doesn't have the right privileges. My auto_prepend_file was outside the php pages directory tree, and I forgot to give access to user nobody to it (in my case, user nobody). 

The message for this error should be "file access denied" or something related to permissions. The way it is, it looks like a strange problem with include or something.
