Hy boys, I'm using Linux RedHat8.0 with httpd-2.0.40 from RedHat rpms, I built rpms of PHP-4.2.3 for this configuration, everything is ok but the function file_exists that was working for me in apache-1.3 and PHP-4.2.3 it's not working good in apache-2, I have a script that test if a file exists in a location within the location of the server document root, was working ok but now it doesn't.
example:
<?
if (file_exists('index.php')){
   echo "Exists";
   }
   else {
   echo "Don't exists";
}
?>
This script is reporting that the file doesn't exist when in fact exists. if I give the absolute path to this then finds the file.
<?
if (file_exists('/var/www/html/index.php')){
   echo "Exists";
   }
   else {
   echo "Don't exists";
}
?>
which says that the function it is not finding the server's filesystem.

I'm using register globals in On
Here it goes my configuration configure
