738 PointsUsing my browser, I am unable to locate the directory containing the project files for the PHP and SQL course.
I know I am placing this set of files into the appropriate location so that I can navigate to them from local host. I have been successful with the other course files, and I have placed empty directories into my intended location and can navigate to them just fine. For whatever reason, my browser cannot seem to locate these particular files.

Also, post the URL that you are trying to access.

738 PointsThe warning is:
( ! ) Warning: include(C:/wamp/www/inc/products.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\PHP-sql\index.php on line 4 Call Stack

It occurs when I navigate to the directory "PHP-sql" in my home directory, which is the folder I made to drop the downloaded files into.

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsSo it's looking one level too high for the inc/ directory (looking in C:/wamp/www/ instead of C:/wamp/www/PHP-sql/).
If you set the global variable for the base path or something like that in one of the previous stages, you might need to change it there.
What is the actual PHP code in index.php that refers to the inc/products.php file? It would be on line 4 according to the errors you posted...
Stephen Gragg
738 PointsBingo. You nailed it Iain. I took everything out of the PHP-sql directory and put it into my root directory, and it worked. Not sure why they set up the files that way...this is the first set in this module.

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsExcellent. Enjoy the rest of the course!

738 PointsAlso, I am using a WAMP server. I did change my Apache config file to enable rewrites. I can now navigate to the appropriate directory, but my browser gives an error message when trying to load the page.
