Well, if you're desperate you could try this test: edit forums/global.php and find this line (near the top):

Code:

require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

and above it, insert this line:

Code:

die("getcwd='$getcwd', including '" . CWD . "/includes/init.php'");

Then any page should just display the one line telling you what $getcwd is and what file it's trying to include. I'm not sure how much that will help, but if you try this let us know what it says.

I gave that a whirl and this is the output on the page.

Quote:

getcwd='', including 'CWD/includes/init.php'

Hmm...well, I still don't understand what's happening. It looks like maybe getcwd() isn't working, but then CWD should be defined as '.' and instead it looks like it isn't defined at all. Is there a line near the beginning of global.php that looks like this:

Code:

define('CWD', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

Yes there is. So I put what you asked in the wrong spot. I put it above

Code:

define('CWD', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));

instead of above

Code:

require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

So I just went back and edited it to put it above the right line and I get this output. I believe your question is still the same in either case. Here's the global file line

Code:

chdir('./../');

define('CWD', (($getcwd = getcwd()) ? $getcwd : '.'));



die("getcwd='$getcwd', including '" . CWD . "/includes/init.php'");

require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');

When put where you suggested I get the following on the page

Quote:

getcwd='/home/thedotcl/public_html', including '/home/thedotcl/public_html/includes/init.php'

OK, where did this line come from:

Code:

chdir('./../');

because I think that's your problem.

It's in the original download file for the 3.8.4 Patch 2 and also 3.8.3 version of the global.php file. I didn't look if it was in older versions or not.

I did toy around with that earlier today and made it

Code:

chdir('./');

And tried

Code:

chdir('./forums/');

but neither seemed to work. I was able to get to admincp but when I'd log in, it just kept me in a loop.

The below is/was the default value originally.

Code:

chdir('./../');

I see that in admincp/global.php, but not in the global.php that is supposed to be in the forum directory.

bingo! Not sure how that got installed there but I went and pulled the files again and I must have somehow gotten the global file from the wrong place. I double checked my unzip of the package and uploaded only that file and it's working.

Thank you for hanging in there with me!

No problem - I guess ForceHSS's idea in post #2 would have worked.
