The error was triggered when some script included a DB connection script (that has require_once 'MDB2.php';) but, unfortunately, the error msg doesn't specify which it was.

I guess that's why $deity created mailing lists--to allow us all to make boobs of ourselves once in a while. I saw the same error again twice today and have found the two seperate scripts that were called (incidentally, the clients were the google yahoo bots). Neither script shows me anything odd and i've checked every other script included within them. It's like there's a rogue thread or something. Except the box has been rebooted at least once since i upgraded, which is when i changed the include path location. brian -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I checked phpinfo() which shows the correct path. # uptime 19:41:32 up 282 days, 16:24, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.04, 0.01 # ls -l /usr/bin/php -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16466469 Aug 27 2006 /usr/bin/php Aug 27, 2006 + 282 days gives June 5, 2007, so it looks like the server was rebooted after upgrading. Unfortunately, i recieved the mail after my client split for a long weekend, and he didn't say what script he was trying to use (the error log only points back to the included script, not the original). But a quick scan of the site shows no problems at all. I also have no .htaccess files for this particular site, and the vhost conf checks out. Any idea what the heck just happened here?
