Whoever wrote phpadsnew assumed you don't understand PHP's
include_path, so they tried to be "smart" and used relative paths.
But that ONLY works if you install everything in exactly the same
structure as they thought you should. :-(

So, the ads/admin/config.php is looking for '../config.inc.php' which
is not there.
But it's getting called, as far as we can tell from what you have
posted, from ads/db.inc, in which case the correct path would just be
'config.inc.php', since the base path of db.inc is /ads/ and that's
where 'config.inc.php' is...
It seems awfully odd that db.inc would require 'ads/admin/config.php'
in the first place, tell you the truth...

I don't think chdir() affects where PHP and include_path look for
include files...

I think the first thing I would do would be to make sure that you
restore the code to what is on the other server.
THEN, change your include_path within /ads to be:
'.:/var/www/localhost/vhosts/payment.communicontent.com/modules/partners/inc/ads'
AND, change your include_path within /ads/admin to be:
'.:/var/www/localhost/vhosts/payment.communicontent.com/modules/partners/inc/ads/admin'
Oh!
It's possible, even LIKELY, that when you copied the files over, you
"missed" copying over the .htaccess files that did this for you from
the other server -- because files named with a leading '.' are ignored
by many command line tools (tar, cp, etc) unless you specifically
include them with command flags or list them by name as filenames.
If you are just missing the .htaccess files, just copy those over, and
undo any changes you've been making to try and "fix" the problem. :-)
