If it's not working, you may be falling under an "open_basedir" restricition, but not "allow_url_fopen" as you seem to think.

The problem is that you are confusing DocumentRoot with Server root. You will need to add all the /home/users/b9/myhost/www/myhost.pandela.org/ in front of your current /bd to work. As it stands now, you are trying to include something from a directory that is parallel to (a sibling of) /home: In other words, what you typed would work if you had this: / . .. /home/users/b9/myhost/www/myhost.pandela.org/ /bd/userdirs/whatever/listdir.php But you don't have that. You have this: / . .. /home/users/b9/myhost/www/myhost.pandela.org/bd/userdirs/whatever/listdir.php [that last one is supposed to be all one line...] I dunno why it's complaining about URL-file-access though...
