"down for maintenance (err 2)" when including outside of WHMCS

[proper]

I created a file access.php so that I'd be able to act differently when a user is logged in or not.

 

root_folder/whmcs/access.php:

<?php
require("dbconnect.php");

if ($_SESSION['uid']) {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT firstname FROM tblclients WHERE id='".$_SESSION['uid']."' LIMIT 1;");
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
       echo '<a href="/members/logout.php">Log out</a>';
}else{
echo '<a href="/members/clientarea.php">Login</a>';	
}
?>

 

If I try to access it from root_folder/index.php everything is ok:

root_folder/index.php:

<li class="button"><?php include('/srv/www/public_html/members/access.php'); ?></li>

 

But if I try to include it from a nested folder such as root_folder/nested/nested/index.php I get an error:

"down for maintenance (err 2)".

 

Obviously it can't find the WHMCS files because relativity path issues. What can I do to resolve this?

Hi,

I don't believe it's possible to put custom pages anywhere other than the main whmcs directory.
