Thread:Project:Support desk/Problem opening WebStart.php/reply (9)

I have just looked that up in a Windows based server, which I am running and there I have

include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR"

and that is working. My webfiles are inside C:\xampp\htdocs, meaning if files are included for me, this works because of the "." in the include path, not because I wrote the actual path down letter by letter. This makes me think that an additional problem must be somewhere else...

Which version of MediaWiki are you trying to install? In version 1.23.6 line 29 of the mw-config/index.php file is this:

require dirname( __DIR__ ). '/includes/WebStart.php';

dirname( __DIR__ ) should return the internal path to the wiki, in your case W:\www\wi. Which PHP version are you using?
