Community Q&A:
include path to files outside the webroot
I put my include files outside my web root (for security), but I can't access them from inside the file (.php) in the webroot. I searched google and it seems that the absolute path should look like '/home//folder/filename.php'. In the error message that I get it says the include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home//php'.
I don't see what I am missing. Is there something that I need to change in my php.ini file? (although I tried and I don't have access to change it.)
Thanks!

Hello almurrin, I checked your php.ini, located in your public_html directory and only see the following setting: include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php" You may need to set it to be: include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/username/php" Be sure that the username is your cpanel username. The php.ini was set to 444 permissions which prevented writing. You can change them by right clicking on the filename and selecting 'Change Permissions' from the menu. I went ahead and made it 644 for you so you can write. Be sure to change it back to 444 afterwards for security. Best Regards, Scott M |
