Title: i-bay PHP $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable incorrect
Post by: Stephen on February 21, 2003, 05:36:39 PM

Hi,

I have created an i-bay and it is all set up correctly as far as I know using the server manager. The problem is, when I got to do some coding in PHP and I wish to use the $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable or $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], it displays the wrong value. I am expecting it to show something like "/home/e-smith/files/mysite/html" but I get "/home/e-smith/files/primary/html"

For some reason PHP is using the default ibay as the document root and it is really annoying because the document root variable would allow much more flexible coding.

I know it can be changed somehow because I've seen another ibay with the document root set to the correct value.

Any help appreciated :-)

What application are you running? OSC?

You've lost me a bit...

I'm just trying to run some code that I've written for a website and it relies on the $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable being correct so I can correctly include files and set server paths to the i-bay in my code without having to specify them in hard code.

Use relative pathnames.
