Two pages in different folders, won't work!?

Hello,

I am comepltely new to this so spare me.

I installed everything flawlessely and put the links in a page called catalog/affiliates.php

So I try doing this but now on my index page. I copy and pasted the same code to my footer.php which was located in a different folder (catalog/includes/footer.php) and it does not work.

It states "You must set the ad network .txt file to be writable (or file is not within path)"

So I copy the .txt and .php file that digital point provides into catalog/includes and set the proper permissions and it still does not work and shows the same error.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thank you.

 

the .php and .txt file from DP was inserted in /catalog

I then entered the code

<?php
	ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
	include ('ad_network_318.php');
	echo $ad_network;
?>

Code (markup):

into /catalog/affiliates.php - Everything worked fine.

Now I want to enter the same code into catalog/includes/index_footer.php

I tried but it said that either the .txt file didnt have correct permissions or the pathw as not right.

I tried copying the .txt file and .php that came from DP into catalog/includes and setting the permissions right again but it still did not work.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks for the help - but i'm afraid that did not do the trick. Maybe i'm changing it incorrectly. I changed

if (!isset($_SERVER)) $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

	$ad_file = 'ad_network_ads_314.txt';

Code (markup):

to

if (!isset($_SERVER)) $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

	$ad_file = 'includes/ad_network_ads_314.txt';

Code (markup):

and still got the same error.

 

The /catalog was unneccesary, that is just for reference terms. It is actaully linked to root.

 

That's the weird thing. the ad_network.php file was in the root already - it worked fine for .com/affiliates.php

I tried putting in the full path like this

	if (!isset($_SERVER)) $_SERVER = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;

	$ad_file = 'www.crazyjordans.com/public_html/includes/ad_network_ads_314.txt';

Code (markup):

and still got the same problem. I then tried also changing the given code to

<?php
	ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
	include ('www.crazyjordans.com/public_html/includes/ad_network_318.php');
	echo $ad_network;
?>

Code (markup):

and it still didn't work.

index_footer.php is in /includes but my acutal index is in the root - maybe that has something to do with it - I don't know. I'm lost =|

 

Thank you for your time. It still does not work. This time only it does not come up with any error:

I changed

	$ad_file = 'ad_network_ads_314.txt';
	for ($i = 0; $i <= 11; $i++) {
		$p = substr ('../../../../../../../../../../', 0, $i * 3);

Code (markup):

to

	$ad_file = '/home/crazyj61/public_html/includes/ad_network_ads_314.txt';
	for ($i = 0; $i <= 11; $i++) {
		$p = substr ('../../../../../../../../../../', 0, $i * 3);

Code (markup):

in ad_network_314.php and added

<?php
	ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
	include ('/home/crazyj61/public_html/includes/ad_network_319.php');
	echo $ad_network;
?>

Code (markup):

to my footer.php file - now this is starting to frutrate me. Any other suggestions?

 

Yes, I e-mailed my hosting company to find out.

 

Got it to work, thank you!
