My relative paths are weired

[david_amer]

I have set up a server using php5 and iis 6, it all seems to work untill i put moodle on it. ithe problem stems from the fact that moodle uses "./foldername/filename.php" instead of just "foldername/filename.php" what setting am i missing to get the moodle style relative paths to work, if i edit the paths to remove the ./ it all seems to work for that page but there are thousands upon thousands of them and i dont fancy going through each one removing the every mention of ./
Thanks in advance.

first of all: use Apache instead of IIS6 as is a piece of cr*p... i hate it.. Its looking nice but its unstable..
Second of all: apache doesnt have any problems with ./ as its ALWAYS means current folder, while IIS still doesnt understand that (i guess iis missed that lesson when it was explained )
Third of all: what a h*ll is moodle ?!

Moodle is a "virtual learning platform" but in reality its just a combined forum/servey/anything else that you mght need to teach people. have a look at http://www.moodle.org if you are interested, it seems quite good but im only using it cos i work for a school and they want it.

im not really interested in it... hehe... not now anyways.. but as i said: use apache and the problem should be solved..

If you still want to use IIS go to the "My Computer" icon and make right-click on them,
select "Properties" option on contextual menu and go to the complex tab,
make click on variable button and search in list for "path".

Select the "path" variable and edit them.
Here you can add your own path to the folder where is the dll files needed for IIS.
For example I have this path variable set:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\PHP\ext

The "ext" folder is full of dll files needed to run different type of databases.
Don't forghet to put ";" between your added path and the rest of the text.
You can add you path in front or back to the rest of text.

I hope you understand my explantion!
