PHP Fatal Error, Unknown in Line 0

[joshie76]

I moved my DocumentRoot (and <directory /> ) in apache from

C:\DIR1\DIR2

to

C:\DIR1

And suddenly started getting this error (in the apache error log):

[Sat Sep 06 08:40:32 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Unable to open c:\DIR1\SUBDIR/phppage.php in Unknown on line 0

This is really baffling me - any help would be really appreciated! It used to work and now it doesn't...

I even tried changing the doc_root setting in the php.ini file (in C:\WINDOWS\) but again without any luck

try using / in your path, or enclosing it all in " "
c:/dir1 or "c:\dir1"

Nope, still no luck.

The funny thing is it use to work OK and it works OK if I put it back to

"c:\DIR1\DIR2"

Apache is fine, but any php pages come back blank and create the entry above in the apache error log.

.... There must be a setting I'm missing somewhere.

Bizarrely, PHP files in the deeper, older directory are still working!
(i.e. [localhost...] works ok whereas [localhost...] does not - but it does if I move my apache document root back to c:\DIR1\DIR2)

I have changed my %SYSTEMROOT%/php.ini file to the following:

; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
doc_root = "c:\DIR1"

And I've since turned errors on and off in this file and those changes took effect so it must have read in this change too...

So confused!

silly question... you don't have a sneaky .htaccess throwing a spanner in the works of one or other directory do you?

What a gumpty!

I was trying to access a .php page that didn't exist. I was sure I'd copied my example.php file over but obviously not... strange though because instead of getting a 404 I just got a blank page and the strange PHP error in the Apache Error Log.

I'm really quite embarrassed.... oops.

Can I stop it doing this and make it go back to fiving me a nice 404 if the php page doesn't exist?

Yours apologetically,
