>Description:
Hi Folks,

it's the second time that this error occurs. First time was after upgrading 
php5 to version 5.2.3, now the same with version 5.2.4.

First of all: All configuration of php is set to default values, and I've 
checked all file permissions etc twice.

The Problem: I installed lang/php5, www/ap-php by pkgsrc (make install). After 
restarting the apache, every include/require in ALL php scripts produces an 
error like this:

<snip>
Warning: require(../includeme.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: 
Permission denied in /var/www/subdir/foo.php on line X

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 
'../includeme.php' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/subdir/foo.php on line X
</snip>

So you can see that a script in a subdirectory can't include another script 
from the basedirectory.

Again: I did not change the default config.

Last time the error occured an update of php5 solved the problem... So I hope 
you will find the error soon and supply a patch!

If you want to see some output of phpinfo() go for:

Hopefully somebody can help!

With regards to your work and greetings from Germany,
Tobi


>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/apache22 && make install
cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/php5 && make install
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/ap-php && make install

Try to include something from an upper directory.
