Ten to one, this is a pathing problem in the inc.php script. Make a copy
of the query.sql file and put it in the includes directory. Test. Make a
copy and put it in the document root. Test. At some point it will work,
and you'll know where inc.php expects to find it. Then you can work out
why it expects that. Then you'll grasp the "quirk".
