failed to open stream: no such file or directory

[emeyer]

We have a win2k3 server runing vbulletin 3.6.8 on IIS. We have been getting error messages like the ones below when we go to the page URL. One is a long while, if you refresh many times the board comes up, but most times the message below is all you see. Any ideas (support has been less then helpful - they say its a server side issue)?




Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once (http://rox.dartmouth.edu/vbulletin/function.require-once)]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \index.php on line 55

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require (http://rox.dartmouth.edu/vbulletin/function.require)]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in \index.php on line 55

just FYI
PHP version is5.2.5
Mysql ver. is 5.0.51a-community-nt

and the vb_test.php runs fine.

thanks,
Ed

Try setting the forumpath line in config.php to the correct location for your vB:

$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '';

Hi, I have set the path, but it did not solve the issue. Any other suggestions? I am not sure its related, but the issue seemed to start after I changed the default vbulletin graphic to our own jpeg logo...

[Steve Machol]

What path did you set?

Also enable phpinfo in the Admin CP, then provide the URL to your forums. This may help us troubleshoot this problem.

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Public phpinfo() Display Enabled

Hi, Here is the path I set:$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'D:\files\www\vbulliten';in the file \vbulliten\includes\config.phpand Public phpfinfo() is now onthanks, Ed

And the URL to your forums?

http://rox.dartmouth.edu/vbulletin

[Steve Machol]

You have the wrong path. Try this for the path:

D:\files\www\vbulletin

[emeyer]

nope, the path is D:\files\www\vbulliten - I spelled the directory wrong when I set it up...I could change the directory name, but I am not sure what the would accomplish...

[Steve Machol]

Then the link to your forums in post #7 cannot be right. Either your path is wrong, or that link is wrong.

[emeyer]

Both links are correct - one is a virtual directory(web address) and one is a physical directory (path - spelled wrong). Does vbulletin not support virtual directories?

thanks,
Ed

[Steve Machol]

Why not use the same path and directory name? I see no reason for a virtual anything here.

[emeyer]

We use virtual dirs because the vbulletin folder sits outside of the actual webroot (web server hosts multiple domain names). just moved it into the real webroot...will see what happens.
