It has nothing to do with modules. A process may work in any directory. If, after it starts running, the process performs a chdir(whatever_existing_dir) system call, all subsequent calls to getcwd will return whatever_existing_dir. You can see the working directory of a process with process ID x by running ls -l /proc/x/cwd Which path do you want to get? The path of the served file? S -- A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Q: Why is top-posting frowned upon? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail? -------- I'm sorry if I wasn't clear with my question! I want the path of the served file and the problem is that it doesn't always returns the correct path, sometimes it just returns "/". In example, if the served file is domain.com/index.html, the path should be /www/domain/a/b/c/abc/htdocs/index.html, but then without the index.html, since the directory path is just /www/domain/a/b/c/abc/htdocs/. That is the structure I have now, but in most cases it doesn't work. As I said before, it looks like it works more often with forum software and blog software then static content or non-complex php-scripts. I would really love to solve this, so thank you for answering so far:)
