failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

[ketchumdev]

My PHP page:

http://bocce.tongie.me/add_user.php

Throws the error message:

Warning: include(/connections/ketchumdevread.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/86/7345486/html/bocce/login.php on line 1

 

This functions flawlessly in my local testing environment (XAMPP). Somehow, the code I have refuses to locate my “connections” folder on the remote server.

I have confirmed spelling, capitalization, folder location, and attempted every conceivable combination of ../../.

 

Also, due to the fact that this is located under a subdomain, I have attempted to use the path /bocce/connections/ketchumdevread.php

 

This really feels like an elementary problem, I just can’t find the solution.

 

I’m stumped. Any suggestions?

 

Here are the first few lines of the add user page (copied from the remote server):

 

<?php include('/connections/ketchumdevwrite.php'); ?>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['password'])) {

                $_POST['password'] = sha1($_POST['password']);

}

 

Thank you all very much.

When you go localhost, in the browser should see the XAMPP stuff....

 

If you then goto the www directory, your see php files there, add yours then do it agin with the new file name.

 

localhost/what_ever.php

 

should see your php page...

PHP-Real, thank you for your response.

 

But I don't get your meaning.

In the online directory there aren't any files called localhost, and nothing in the pages attempts to point to localhost.

The page will load, it just throws the warning "failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ..."

It fails to make the link to my connection file.

The files are there, my path is just wrong somehow.

I'm overlooking something obvious.

Thanks again

Did I mention this is my first crack at PHP?

try using an absolute path ie the full ball of wax - http://blah/blah/file

also show us your folder hierarchy

Do NOT use include('http:// ... 

 

Warning: include(/connections/ketchumdevread.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/86/7345486/html/bocce/login.php on line 1

 

Where is the connections folder in relation to login.php. Is it in the same directory? or is it in one of the directories above it?  By putting a slash at the beginning of it, you are telling PHP to look in the root of the file system of the server. You can pretty much bet that it is NOT there. If connections is a folder in bocce (where login.php is), take the leading slash off. Otherwise, post your folder hierarchy, and we'll see what we can do.

the reference to absolute path was to test it in his browser.

sorry, I didn't read it that way.

DavidAM,

The connections folder is in the bocce folder, removing the slash at the beginning leads me to another error. I think I might have an issue in my connections file. I'm gonna try to work this out.  I seem to learn more if I work things on my own.

Thanks to everyone for the responses, I appreciate the help.
