I have the EE system (renamed to something else) installed above root. When I run a simple PHP script from the homepage index, which opens an images directory under normal root, it gives me a “not a valid Directory resource” error.

I don’t want to post the literal server path here, but it looks something like this:
/home/accountid/domains/domainname.com/html/photos/

I can access the http://www.domainname.com/photos directory from a browser, but EE seems not able to understand the location when I use the absolute path on the server (as I understand must be used).

Any help?

Hi imaginesurf,

can you elaborate a bit more on your PHP script. How do you mean ‘open’ an images directory?

I don’t have the full picture here yet but you can try changing the uri_protocol in your config.php to PATH_INFO from AUTO to see if that helps

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'PATH_INFO';

I ended up recommending to my client that they request a refund. This was just one question among many others that took too long to get a response to and thus made development impractical.

Evidently I had unrealistic expectations of EE support. Thanks anyway.
