Question : Problem with require('./wp-blog-header.php');  The  ./  is throwing a 500 error message.

Problem with require('./wp-blog-header.php');  The  ./  is throwing a 500 error message.

I am running on a Windows 2008 server, 64 bit, with IIS7.

You can see my php info at    http://www.greatersba.org/php-info.php

I have a Wordpress installation, that I discovered this issue in.  But the problem doesn't seem to be a Wordpress issue, it seems to be more of a PHP on Windows issue.

For some reason, in the information I found (when looking around) the use of    ./   is supposed to tell PHP to look in the "currrent folder" for the file that is being called, as in require('./wp-blog-header.php');  

But, with the  ./  in front, I always get a 500 error.  Even if I put just a  /   I get a 500 error.

I would like to fix this if possible so it would work normally, but since I am on a Windows 2008 server with IIS7 .. I am not sure how to get this to work properly.  Most of what I see on the net refers to Linux servers.

Can someone explain why it's not working properly on my Windows server .. and what I might be able to do or change (somewhere) so this will work (without my having to remove the    ./   in front of the file name??

Thanks,
Gary

Answer : Problem with require('./wp-blog-header.php');  The  ./  is throwing a 500 error message.

On a windows install I do not believe you need the ./ or the / just:

require('wp-blog-header.php');

I will have to connect and look at one of mine but I am out of the office right now. Give that a try though and let me know.
