PHP not including includes since reinstalling linux

PHP not including includes since reinstalling linux

 

• Reinstalled linux on server
  
• Reinstalled PHP 4.3.8 (upgrading is not an option) - besides, it worked before the disk crash
  
• Everything - PHP & SHTML that use include files - worked fine until I had to reinstall linux
  
• No PHP code has changed
  

 

Now everything works as expected except that PHP files' includes, e.g.,

include("includes/abcd.inc")

don't work anymore: all PHP pages that used to work, i.e., properly displayed included files, no longer display those included files.

 

• There are no error messages
  
• If I comment out
      include("includes/abcd.inc")
        and use an SHTML include,
        <!--#include virtual="includes/abcd.inc" -->
        the page displays correctly.
   
  
• If I comment out
        include("includes/abcd.inc")
        and paste the text of
        includes/abcd.inc
        and echo the pasted text, it displays correctly
  
• The Apache DirectoryIndex directive is correct - it reads
        index.php index.shtml index.htm index.html
  
• phpinfo.php displays correctly, therefore PHP is working correctly (albeit possibly misconfigured)
  

 

It must be a configuration thing. Any ideas?

For errors to show you need to edit your php.ini so error_reporting is set to E_ALL and display_errors is to On.

 

Also post what your include_path is set to when you run phpinfo().

There are 3 php.ini files, each with different content

/etc/admserv/php.ini

/etc/httpd/php.ini

/etc/httpd/438/php.ini

 

I strongly suspect that the last one is the operative ini file, but in each

I uncommented

E_ALL

and set

display_errors = On

on each

 

in phpinfo.php

+----------------+--------------------+------------------+

| Directive    |  Local Value    | Master Value  |

+----------------+--------------------+------------------+

| include_path | :/usr/lib/php    | .:/usr/lib/php |

+----------------+--------------------+------------------+

The phpinfo() output tells you what php.ini is being used and it would also tell you the actual values for error_reporting and display_errors.
