I'm trying to run a multi forum script I downloaded, but coming across the below error when running it;

Warning: main(../sources/host/functions/skin_functions.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/domain/domainurl.co.uk/index.php on line 61

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '../sources/host/functions/skin_functions.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /hsphere/local/home/domain/domainurl.co.uk/index.php on line 61

I've tried to edit part of the config file that reads;

// Root path
if(isset($USER['name'])){
 define( 'ROOT_PATH', "../" );
}else{
 define( 'ROOT_PATH', "./" );
}

However, I've only managed to get it to load, but come back with a scripted message (ie, written into the code), saying the config files cannot be found.

I don't know PHP at all, so would someone be able to shed any light on this please? I think it may have to do with permissions, or the root directory I'm choosing is incorrect, but I don't know where to start.

The script is located at;

Hi MortiOli ,
I read your message many time , but it's look like something is missing for me to answer clearly ...
Your directories look quite complicated .
I would not mess at all with that ROOT_PATH ...

What i suggest is to create a info.php file ( or config.php whatever )
put this file a the same place then your index.php
you will be able to : include("info.php"); just like that ...

let's say this info.php will have something like :
$sys[server][func][dir]="/var/www/php/functions/";
$sys[server][images][url]="...";

then you can include your skin functions :


include("info.php");
include($sys[server][func][dir] . "skin_functions.php");

putting all this kind of stuff in the same $sys array will permit you to put it in global in some of your functions more easily ...

this i just my humble suggestion ..
I may be too late but ...
