    Hello everyone,
    I know this issue is minor, but I want to fix all the little bugs.
    In php, whene i type "/some/thing.XXX"
    It wont reach the file, only if ill add "." like this "./some/thing.XXX"
    The document root function point to the web folder as it sould,
    but the "/" not.

    and ideas?

    To what tutorial are you referring?

    Do you use ISPConfig?

    If you include a file in php with require() or include(), the website docroot is not relevant for php. So if you include a file from a local path, the path is either ./some/thing.XXX or some/thing.XXX. Paths thats tart with / have to be full paths, e.g. /var/www/www.yourdomain.com/web/some/thing.XXX

    What's the DocumentRoot setting from your virtual host? I doubt that it is "/".

    Please try what Till suggested and leave out the "/" in the beginning of your PHP paths.
