do you have settings.php file on the "cigarettes/directory" dir? :D

If you are trying to include a file using require you should use an absolute server path like /var/www/html/yoursite/.
If you run phpinfo() you can find out the actual path where your scripts reside.

For your includes
Code:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .'/path/to/file
should do it.
Or if you have access to .htaccess, set include_path to a specific existing folder.

what is going on with that site. I have just managed to download your actuall php file.

Its looking for the settings.php file in the cigarettes/directory folder. Make sure its there and that it's readable. Also boost up your ftp program and make sure the chmod settings of that folder and any others is set to 755.

Are you trying to get the directory to show on the frontpage. If so what are you doing to do that? By doing this The script is trying to load settings.php relative from the root folder. As the settings. file is in cigarettes/directory folder it will not work. Change: require("settings.php") to require("cigarettes/directory/settings.php") and it will work. However if there are other includes in the script you may find more of the same problem.

Are you using a CMS?

I can probably help you, but you will need to grant me pretty high access to your site:
ftp and/or admin - need to see your raw php files.

If you need more help,just send me a PM.
