I woke up this morning and the forum was giving me a fatal error.
Something about './GLOBALS.php' couldn't open the stream. No such file or directory in '/FUDforum2/index.php'.
What exactly caused this? I "fixed" it by making the pathname in the REQUIRE statement the absolute pathname.
I did this for the /FUDforum2/index.php, FUDforum2/adm/index.php, & FUDforum2/adm/admglobal.php
Basically every time I encounter the error, I change the file to the absolute pathname. This can't be the best way to do this.
Any thoughts?

Also, no that it is back up and running, the messages from the last 24 hours or so are gone. Any way to recover those??

Thanks

The forum's main dir and the adm dir should have a GLOBALS.php symlink to the GLOBALS.php inside the include/ directory. This would make require "./GLOBALS.php" work.

If you are getting those errors I suspect either permissions on those files were changed to deny access to them or they were removed.

Try to copy GLOBALS.php from include/ dir
to adm/ dir and where the main index.php located!
but cearfully ! Copying that to dirs couses the open information which could me stolen

You shouldn't copy that file, by rather make a symlink to the main one.

What exactly does a symlink look like?

I don't think the permissions have been changed, but I'll check again.

If you have command line access via SSH or Telnet you can make symlinks by running:

ln -s source destination

if you don't have shell access, you can do it via PHP's symlink() function.

Warning: main(./GLOBALS.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/FUDforum2/index.php on line 13

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './GLOBALS.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/FUDforum2/index.php on line 13
------------------------------------------------------------

This is exactly the error I got.
What exactly should the permissions be for those files??
Everyone r/x but only owner r/w/x

Any thoughts on the lost messages.

The permissions should be such that the webserver can read them, just to be safe make them 666.
