Actually  the solutions is to open the php ini file edit the include path line and either completely change it to   include path     usr share php  usr share pear     or append the       usr share php  usr share pear     to the current value of include path   It is further explained in   http   pear php net manual en installation checking php installation checking cli phpdir

Thats just the directories showing you where PHP was looking for your file  Make sure that cron1 php exists where you think it does  And make sure you know where dirname   FILE    and   SERVER  DOCUMENT ROOT   are pointing where you d expect   This value can be adjusted in your php ini file

If you look at the PHP constant PATH SEPARATOR  you will see it being  quot   quot  for you  If you break apart your string  quot    usr share pear  usr share php quot  using that character  you will get 3 parts       this means the current directory your code is in   usr share pear  usr share php  Any attempts to include   require   things  will look in these directories  in this order  It is showing you that in the error message to let you know where it could NOT find the file you were trying to require   For your first require  if that is being included from your index php  then you dont need the dir stuff  just do    require once    db config php

Many developers include files by pointing to a remote URL  even if the file is within the local system  For example    lt php include  http   example com includes example include php      gt    With allow url include disabled  this method does not work  Instead  the file must be included with a local path  and there are three methods of doing this   By using a relative path  such as    includes example include php  By using an absolute path  also known as relative-from-root   such as  home username example com includes example include php   By using the PHP environment variable   SERVER  DOCUMENT ROOT    which returns the absolute path to the web root directory  This is by far the best  and most portable  solution  The following example shows the environment variable in action   Example Include   lt  php include   SERVER  DOCUMENT ROOT     includes example include php      gt
