hi

sorry for my english (i'm ita and don't speack english very well)

I've problem with the installation of oscommerce that use Apache/PHP/Mysql

The error is:

Warning: main(includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in /srv/www/htdocs/www.mysite.it/includes/application_top.php
on line 29

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required
'includes/configure.php' (include_path='/usr/share/php')
in /srv/www/htdocs/www.mysite.it/includes/application_top.php on line 29

The file configure.php is
in /srv/www/htdocs/www.mysite.it/includes/configure.php but
application_top.php with require('includes/configure.php) don't find it.

Why?

Under windows xp with another installation of Apache with the same
instruction (require('includes/configure.php')) the file was find it.

pls help me with simple word.

THX

visto che sei ita...parla tricolore
almeno capisco bene.

Perchè non è leggibile da apache...e sopratutto come faccio a renderlo
leggibile?

Stefano, the problem is probably with php, I have had exactly
the same errors on a LAMP platform. I edited the mentioned
files to do include("file.inc"); instead of include("includes/file.inc").

This helped me get past the first couple of screens, then you
get more errors, just keep on editing and removing the 'include'
directory.

There is probably a much better solution, but this worked for me,
I Think the problem has to do with a php.ini directive (/etc/php.ini)
which has 'include' as part of the include path. I set the
path previously to get phplib working.

Since this is an Apache group, please follow up on alt.php
before we step on anybody's toes :)
