CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm getting path problems in the API files and can't find the magic setting that makes them go away!  Help appreciated!

The various require_once statements in the API seem to expect to be are called from the CiviCRM root directory

Example: a call to api.php (line 47) initiates a require_once statement for utils.php using the path 'api/v3/utils.php' and PHP throws an error because the file is located, relatively, at 'v3/utils.php'. Hack the core for a quick fix (tsk tsk), then same problem with "require_once 'CRM/Utils/String.php' (line 48). Hack that and then another one pops up in some different file later.

Clearly  there is some setting that's not appropriate - but I can't find it.

My CiviCRM root directory is set correctly in civicrm.settings.php, ending in "CiviCRM/" and everything else about Civi works just fine.  Using Drupal 7, Civi 4.05 and MAMP Pro 2.

Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?  Kinda hard to develop with the API if I can't actually access it.
