For the system to work, you need to set the following two * variables in each Directory File:

$DirLeader

The dot leader needed to get up to the Base Directory of this * website. The term "Base Directory" means the location where your Home * Page resides. In other terms, the directory that is accessed when * someone types your domain, eg http://www.foo.org/, in * their web browser. While the Base Directory may be the same * as your Document Root in Apache (or other web server), the * Base Directory can also be a subdirectory of your Document Root.

If the present directory:

*
• is the Base Directory, use '.'
*
• is one level below the Base Directory, use '..'
*
• is two levels below the Base Directory, use '../..'
*
• etc...
*

$IncludeDir

The full or relative path to and the name of your Include * Directory. The "Include Directory" is the place where you keep your * commonly used PHP scripts. We're using this variable, despite the * existence of PHP's include_path, because some systems * restrict its use for security reasons.

If your include files are in:

*
• the Base Directory, two levels up, use: '../..'
*
• a subdirectory named "include" in the Base Directory, * two levels up, you'd enter: '../../include'
*
• a directory at the same level as the Base Directory, while your * Base Directory is two levels up, you'll need something like: * '../../../include' or * '/htdocs/username/include'
*
• your home directory outside of the web server, use a full path, * such as: '/usr/username/include'
*
• etc...
*

Don't place trailing slashes on either of these variables.

Make sure not to add characters, spaces or line breaks after the * closing PHP tag (?>) at the bottom of this file. Such additions cause * problems when PHP's header() function is called.

This is part of the Layout Solution. See the layout.inc file * for more information, the license, etc.
