Hi Keith, Yes, "/home/strato/www/bi/www.bitchaboutanything.co.uk/htdocs/forum/" is the exact path where phpBB is installed. There are 3 domains managed from my account, and all three have the same path (apart from the domain is changed in the path). When putting the 'main.php' in the root dir and using the same code as posted, it works fine. It just has a problem finding the 'common.php' script when the 'main.php' is in the '/tpl/' dir. Andy

I'm trying to build a website around phpBB, using the authentication and session management, but I keep getting errors. I would be greatful if somebody could look at the following code and explain the problem. The include code etc. //Including the common.php define('IN_PHPBB', true); $phpbb_root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/forum/"; $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1); include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx); //Session Management $user->session_begin(); $auth->acl($user->data); $user->setup(); //To display username of logged in person $username = $user->data['username']; The code to determine whether the user is logged in, if logged in display a welcome message, if not, will display login form. <? if($user->data['is_registered']){ //Echo following if the user is logged in: echo "Hello ".$username.", Get Bitching!"; } else { //If the user isn't logged in, show them the form so they can log in: echo ' <form method="POST" action="/forum/ucp.php?mode=login"> <p> <font face="Verdana">Username: <input type="text" name="username" size="21" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1; padding-left: 4; padding-right: 4; padding-top: 1; padding-bottom: 1; background-color:#CCCCCC"><br> Password: <input type="password" name="password" size="21" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1; padding-left: 4; padding-right: 4; padding-top: 1; padding-bottom: 1; background-color:#CCCCCC"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="autologin" value="ON" style="font-size: 10px"> ^{<font size="2">Remember me</font>} <input value="submit" border="0" src="images/login.jpg" name="login" width="70" height="20" type="image"><br> <a href="http://www.bitchaboutanything.co.uk/forum/ucp.php?mode=sendpassword">Forgot Password</a> | <a href="http://www.bitchaboutanything.co.uk/forum/ucp.php?mode=register">Register</a></font></p> </form>'; } ?> The erros that gets displayed when loaded: Warning: include(/home/strato/www/bi/www.bitchaboutanything.co.uk/htdocs/forum/common.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/web1/21/84/52021484/htdocs/bitch/tpl/main.php on line 6 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/strato/www/bi/www.bitchaboutanything.co.uk/htdocs/forum/common.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/opt/RZphp5/includes') in /mnt/web1/21/84/52021484/htdocs/bitch/tpl/main.php on line 6 Fatal error: Call to a member function session_begin() on a non-object in /mnt/web1/21/84/52021484/htdocs/bitch/tpl/main.php on line 9 I would greatly appreciate your help.
