failed to open stream, include(), what is causing this?

Question

I was installing a script and got the following errors

Warning: include() [function.include]: Unable to access ../GameEngine/config.php in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

Warning: include(../GameEngine/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

this file is located in http://www.freetravian.com/travian/install/include/multihunter.php

what is causing these errors? could it be because I haven't set some folder permissions? the file config.php does infact exist.

The files doesn't exist on the given phat.

Here is what the error shows (check the double dots):

Warning: include() [function.include]: Unable to access ../GameEngine/config.php in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

Warning: include(../GameEngine/config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php on line 20

/home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/Admin/database.php <- This is the file doing the include
/home/freetrav/public_html/travian/GameEngine/GameEngine/config.php <- This file doesn't exist

okay so.. the double dots are directory up.. so remove double dots? wait no, the double dots take it out of the admin folder and point towards config folder — Web Master, Jun 19 '12 at 19:59

Try moving your whole GameEngine folder in the install folder.

OR modify your multihunter.php file and add an extra "../" in your include statements.

there are like 50 scripts, that would mess all of them up, gotta find an another way – Web Master Jun 19 '12 at 20:01
Can you post the "include" line in your multihunter.php file? Also try the edit I posted. – NaturalBornCamper Jun 19 '12 at 20:05

thanks guys, fixed it. the problem was that the file calling all other files, was inside two folders and not one, so you would have to call up-directory(..) twice. so i added another set of dots with a slash and it worked.

include("../../GameEngine/config.php");
include("../../GameEngine/Data/buidata.php");

ty +1 for everyone
