The IIS server is running on Windows NT and you saw the whole error message... Warning: Failed opening '../../../includes/leftnavbarag.htm' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in D:\Netscape\SuiteSpot\docs\cms\dev\subsections\news\dirwlcme4.htm on line 15 No mention of an open_basedir issue. Still stumped. Rod On Monday, April 21, 2003, at 01:35 PM, Dash McElroy wrote:

No one's responded to this on this list yet, but I did discover that I can go at least one level down (ie ../ works), so I am still wondering if it's some kind of "backpath" limitation - intentional or not, and if there is any workaround. Rod

Rod - I have been able to go down several back paths just fine. Sounds like it's either a permissions issue (usually seen more on unix) or a open_basedir issue, although you'll usually know when it's an open_basedir (as it will tell you something about open_basedir). -Dash

Your path is D:\Netscape\SuiteSpot\docs\cms\dev\subsections\news\dirwlcme4.htm

Your include file should be '../../../includes/leftnavbarag.htm' Now if we de'...' it, it would be in D:\Netscape\SuiteSpot\docs\cms\includes/leftnavbarag.htm, right? Now have you double and triple checked permissions on all folders from d:\ to see that the right permissions are in place? One wrong bit and you're borked. -Dash
