Hi Markus,

I've just installed SMW 1.4.0 on the current stable release of MW (1.13.2). I
am running SMW on a VPS (HostEurope's Virtual Server Linux 3.0) with Ubuntu
6.06 and Plesk (PHP 5.1.2 (apache2handler), MySQL
5.0.22-Debian_0ubuntu6.06.11-log, Apache 2.0.55-4ubuntu2.3).

After editing LocalSettings.php as detailed on
<http://semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Installation#Installation>, I got an
error message:
“extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php
[function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted”.

Proposed solution:
replace
  include_once('extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php');
by
  include_once("$IP/extensions/SemanticMediaWiki/includes/SMW_Settings.php");

The existing code might work under special assuptions, but my code is certainly
more portable. Strange: Now that I have finished installing SMW, it seems that
the existing syntax works as well when I change it back in LocalSettings.php.

Sorry for bugging you with this. If I had an account on semantic-mediawiki.org,
I would have edited the documentation myself.

Cheers,
Chris
