I am haveing a problem with ./ and ../. Both are not saying EX:/var/www/ai/mydomain.com/web/ php acts like its just reading it as part of the directory... like this.. EX:Warning: main(../moduels/Roster/settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory The file is in :/var/www/ai/mydomain.com/web/moduels/Roster/settings.php and if I state this it works for that instance... I have read a bit about open_basedir but if I try to set it with htaccess it breaks htaccess. http://www.avatarhero.com/modules/Roster/install.php?mode=phpinfo Thanks for any help and let me know if you have any questions.
