Hello List, I'm running an IIS 5.0 server on Windows 2000 box and have PHP Version 4.3.2 with 512 Megs Ram. I am using the CGI mode. It's a webserver running about 26 Virtual Domains. All Domains are running PHP and have php scripts. Something recently has happened and I'm not sure why. I am hoping someone on this list can help me. All of these sites have been running for over 6 months or longer. Just today a new problem pop'd up, I noticed some of my sites were timing out and php failing to execute; I could not think of anything similiar about the sites that were timing out. Out of the 26 virtual domains, about 7 were timing out. After much much much debugging I could only find one thing similiar; Instead of using an absolute o/s path: IE: <?INCLUDE("d:\dir1\dir2\test.php");?> These were using a webpath: IE: <?INCLUDE("http://www.test.com/test.php");?> I changed his webpath calls to use an absolute path and boom, the sites are working again Perfectly. Now I prefer and usually always us an absolute o/s path, but we have another php developer who doesn't. Again these sites had been running correctly for over 6 months and now all of a sudden stopped. What could have caused these websites to stop allowing a webpath? Why would it all of a sudden stop working? Tony Devlin V. President / CTO Airewaves Broadband 69 Robert Smalls Prkwy.
