Using CiviCRM Version 2.1.2 on a server that had an upgrade to Apache 2.2. Now accessing CiviCRM we get the following error:

Fatal error: CRM_Core_IDS::require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'IDS/Init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/username/php') in /usr/home/username/public_html/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/IDS.php on line 76

Have an older version (2.0.7) on the same server and not getting any errors.

Not sure that the Apache upgrade is causing this, but it's the one major thing that has changed on the server recently.

We've been using CiviCRM on this site for over a year and are just now getting this error. We changed nothing in the set up so how could our set up be wrong? I'm bewildered.

I see. Change the Apache conf file. But as this is on a shared server wouldn't that mess up all the other scripts that are not having an issue?

Not sure this is feasible (changing the conf file). I am the host. I could do it, but that changes things server wide. After digging some more we've found this out.

It looks like the set_include_path function is never actually being called in "CRM/Core/Config.php", because prior to calling this function, the script checks if the object it is currently using has a value set for "customPHPPathDir", and this check fails. I haven't yet been able to figure out exactly where this value comes from, to see if it has somehow been unset, or if it is unable to retrieve the value from the database or a file, or what. The code I'm talking about is:

if ( isset( self::$_singleton->customPHPPathDir ) && self::$_singleton->customPHPPathDir ) {
               $include_path = self::$_singleton->customPHPPathDir . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path( );
               set_include_path( $include_path );
}

This is from line 195-199 in the file "CRM/Core/Config.php".

lobo,

I apologize. You were right. It was in the httpd.conf file.

After much digging I found this blog post: http://blog.calevans.com/2008/02/14/set_include_path-failing/

So I changed the directive in the include conf file for that virtual domain from php_admin_value to php_value and it worked!
