 Operating System: Windows 2000

The problem lies with both Windows (any apache version) and Apache 2 on
other systems.  On windows at least, the current working directory for
libxml2 calls ends up being the apache directory.  See also bug 17390
(this bug is also a windows problem and not just Apache 2).

The example in this bug report works for loading the file as the file
is passed in as file('test.xml') rather than just the filename.
getcwd() will return the correct working directory as well. The problem
is that the file functions (including DTD references) the domxml
extension uses, are directly from libxml2, which when loaded in the
mentioned environments is loaded with apache and its working directory
being the apache directory.

Am unsure about a fix for this unless the current working directory can
be set via libxml2 calls. Have yet to find if this is possible.

Have only confirmed this using php as an apache module.

echo getcwd() gives me correct path, DOMXML still throws a warning, i
wrote before (both with and without DOMXML_LOAD_COMPLETE_ATTRS)

Works fine for me with Linux, both the Apache module and CGI version. I
think that the WIndows thing doesn't change to the correct working
directory. Can you try this by putting an "echo getcwd()" just before
the call to xmldoc().

Yes, it works well, when there is full path to external DTD specified.
