Chuck,
If you are using godaddy for hosting I an tell you right now you that there is nothing here that will work on there servers. I love them for Domain name services but I sent them a long letter a while back explaining all the settings they had in place that prevented my clients from hosting there. And they did respond nicely and professionally I will add.
If you want to see this for you self drop a phpinfo.php file at root of your hosting and look at the settings. You will probably see about 10 things needed in the php.ini file that are turned off that need to be on in high end PHP development.
In godday's defense they are selling you a "shared" account. So to keep other freaky programmers like me from writing code that could effect your site they have almost all the include stuff off in the php.ini file for the whole server. And you are seeing an include error. You can add your own local ini file that that is beyond the scope of the moolet model here.
What they are telling you is there is nothing wrong with the server and that is correct. What I am telling you is the security settings are too tight at goddady to use moolets, and a few other really cool Joomla modules out there, and that too is correct.
Bob Parsons runs a good company. I am not slamming them in any way. I like what they do.
What I am offering here are free tools primarily to developers that have enough technical knowledge to fiddle around to get my free stuff working. I can not supply much labor on top of that.
I get 60 downloads a day and If I actually had to debug everyones sever at a fair market value of about $350.00 a pop my company would be out $18,000 bucks per day or close to 3/4 a million bucks a year.
SO this is as far as I an take this.
Here is some info on getting your php info if that is new to you:
http://www.php.net/phpinfoFeel free to post here for some help, maybe I will even create a section for that as I have more work then I can do and would glady allow other folks here to snatch up helping your for whatever rate you guys can work out.
I do appreciate you like these moolets enough to put in the time that you have!
I will set up a section on the Forums on Saturday for help request that go beyond what I can give right now.
Sharing my code is about all I can give under my current workload
thanks much
brian
