Why don't you start by running file_exists() on another file in the same directory:
if (file_exists("./findMe.php"))
echo "It's here";
then, directory by directory, move towards where you want the real file to
be read. If a move fails, check permissions as already suggested ( and
capitalization, also, if on a *nix system ). Once you can accomplish this,
fopen() should work just fine.
