Failed opening inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear')

I have MS2-MAX installed and working properly on IIS web server, running PHP 4.2.2, except when I click modules or anything within that section, I get several of the following errors:

Warning: Failed opening '/hosting/webhost/member/userdir/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/authorizenet.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\admin\mo dules.php on line 129

Does anything stick out like a sore thumb to anyone about my configuration? I asked my web host if it may have to do with their php setup - they tell me the following:

"That would be more of a setup problem because it's not able to find the include path correctly so it's pulling up the default include path in php.ini."

I read one post about using the IP address, rather than domain name. I tried that, but my host does not allow browsing via IP address. Any other ideas?

Thank you!

I was logged in for my previous post - don't know why it did not recognize me. Anyway, I am stumped with this error - any ideas?

[jpf]

Yea - I do - it is stupid Windows NTFS file permissions...

In Windows Exploder browse to your website folder - right click on it got to Properties - Select Security - then MAKE sure the "Internet Guest Account" user or IUSR_ had read write access...for all "files, folders and subfolders"

[MintMoney]

Thanks so much for your prompt reply, Jpf!

Per your advice, I applied RWX permissions to IUSR_ accounts from the /catalog/ directory forward. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the permissions on the rest of my web site is irrelevant, right? In any case, this did not solve the problem. I still get same error.

In addition, I am concerned about proper security for the /catalog/includes/configure.php file?

Can anyone help me with this? Please, please, please? I do not know what else to do.

Thanks for the tip - I fixed that bug. Unfortunately, it is unrelated to mine. I get the same error for all modules. The first one I copied just happened to be the authorizenet.php one. I believe this has something to do with / and \ differences in Linux vs. Windows, but I cannot figure out which line in my configure files is causing the problem.

For example, I successfully re-installed which changed the following lines in my admin\includes\configure.php file:

After install:
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'c:/hosting/webhost/member/userdir/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'c:/hosting/webhost/member/userdir/catalog/'); // absolute path required

Then got the following error when I click on modules in admin:
Warning: Failed opening 'c:/hosting/webhost/member/userdir/catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/authorizenet.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\admin\mo dules.php on line 129

NOTE THE REVERSE VS. FORWARD SLASHES

Next, I edited the configure.php file to this new setting (correcting the forward slashes):

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\admin\' ); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\'); // absolute path required

then got the following error in all of admin:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\admin\in cludes\configure.php on line 21

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'DIR_WS_INCLUDESfilenames.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\hosting\webhost\member\userdir\catalog\admin\in cludes\application_top.php on line 44

Does this help you help me?

In case it may help someone to advise me, below is the entire list of errors I receive after clicking "Modules" in admin (Note the / versus \ syntax and that all errors refer to the modules.php file):

Could someone please give me their opinion on this error? Thank you
