Fatal error: Failed opening required 'config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/web/www.schoteroog.nl/data/guestbook/index.php on line 12

Are you trying to integrate this into a table or just as a stand alone link? The naming of the files is not the issue as everyone, including me, has that. As long as it's in a separate folder, it's ok.

Raven,
i have a site with 3 sections... ontop is the header with navigation, below left is a small section on which i project messages... and the rest is a section on which i project the contents of the page.

Layout is done with tables
all the files (which are located in the root) are included in the contents

guestbook however is in a folder guestbook which is located in the root.

what im trying to do is the folowing..
i created a file guest.php with a inclusion of index.php of the guestbook.

Code:

this file guest is in the folder guestbook...
when i call this page directly like

Here is a mini-tutorial submitted by another user. See if this helps.

Also, please make sure you have read the documentation that I include with KISGB. I explain how to embed kisgb in a table. Let me know if this solves your install problems.

is the page and i get the following error...

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/web/www.schoteroog.nl/data/guestbook/gast.php on line 12

Maybe this rings a bel ????

Thanx for youre time..

Maybe it has something to do with the include path.. but i cant change that in the php.ini or webserver config...

i'm a step further i guesss... Smile

i have put a htaccess file in my root directory

which contains
php_value include_path ".:/home/web/www.schoteroog.nl/data/:/home/web/www.schoteroog.nl/data/guestbook"

i dont have the include errors anymore.

But now i get the following:
Warning: fopen("kisgb.csv.php","a") - Permission denied in /home/web/www.schoteroog.nl/data/guestbook/gast.php on line 153
Unable to access kisgb.csv.php

Im trying to figure out what can cause this..

Any idee...

The .htaccess is not needed. Please PM me your ftp url, id, and password. I will set this up for you.
