Tryed root relative urls and they did not work. I hust put the '/' before... Why??

Hi Armando,

It sounds like you did not have the path correctly set. Was the file you were trying to use a relative path for in the same directory?

"./" means same directory and "../" means parent directory

Does that help at all?

what happens is: I am working in localhost, insede localhost I created a folder na,ed treehouse and I am following the track in that folder. The moment I placed the path, it was wrong, and I tried different paths....

define("BASE_URL","/treehouse/");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/treehouse/");

define("BASE_URL","/localhost/treehouse/");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/localhost/treehouse/");

Which one I should use??

Armando,

Click on a link and tell us what's in the address bar at the top of the browser. Sometimes just by looking at what the link points to can illustrate why the link fails to work. Maybe there's an extra / or maybe it's just pointing to the wrong location. Let us know what your links are pointing to and we can assist. If you follow the teachings there shouldn't be an issue but you may have just added something you shouldn't have.

Cheers!

the url: http://localhost/treehouse/

in the browser:

Warning: require_once(inc/congif.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\treehouse\index.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'inc/congif.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\treehouse\index.php on line 3

Austin, thanks a lot.... I feel really stupid, because I tried everything!!!! Thanks.
