I can include a config file from any directory within my site except from the home directory. I have tried it with the config file in the same directoy and in other directories (updating the path as and when).
NO JOY.
I have an htaccess file but it only contains mod rewrites and 301's so I dont see how this could affect it. From the errors I get it seems that no matter where I store the file it never seems to be found.
Here is the error...
Warning: main(/widget/config.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /web/_u/_r/_b/mysite.com/public/www/template.php on line 129

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

urbanite,

Are both the file performing the include and the file to be included in the same (Home) directory?

Also, could you post the code snippet where you perform the include. It may seem trivial, but it helps to see.

Hopefully we can get this solved for you in short order.

Sorry i didnt even noticed this thread had been replied too.
I have actually solved the problem now.
I was advised to use put the following into my include, just before the file name.

include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

Did the trick.
Thanks anyway though.
