require_once Error (PHP)

[Jarryd]

Dear readers,
​

I am posting this because i am not understanding a few things got to do with this php stuff, i am very new to php and am just learning about SQL and login/register pages and stuff, i will provide the code that is being used, and ask for some help about this error:
​

[B]Warning[/B]:  require_once(/home/sexylist/public_htmlconfig.php) [[URL="http://sheeplist.exofire.net/function.require-once"]function.require-once[/URL]]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [B]/home/sexylist/public_html/login.php[/B] on line [B]5[/B]

[B]Fatal error[/B]:  require_once() [[URL="http://sheeplist.exofire.net/function.require"]function.require[/URL]]: Failed opening required '/home/sexylist/public_htmlconfig.php' (include_path='.:/x10hosting/php1/lib/php') in [B]/home/sexylist/public_html/login.php[/B] on line [B]5[/B]

This is the error i am getting, this error i get when i try to view "login.php". I am unsure of what is causing it, i edited the rest of my php code to get it working, i have the register page working, the success page working and register_process and config pages all work aswell, it's just this page that doesn't seem to be working, the code for the login.php page is this:
​

<?php
session_start();

// Require once the DB script
   require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. 'config.php');

   if ($_POST['loginSubmit']) {
      // You *always!* need to validate user-supplied data when using it in MySQL queries!!
      // This isn't 100% secure, but it's definitely better than having nothing and being vulnerable to SQL injection.
      if(get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
         if(ini_get('magic_quotes_sybase')) {
             $username = str_replace("''", "'", $_POST['username']);
             $password = str_replace("''", "'", $_POST['password']);
         } else {
             $username = stripslashes($_POST['username']);
             $password = stripslashes($_POST['password']);
         }
      } else {
          $username = $_POST['username'];
          $password = $_POST['password'];
      }
      $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
      $password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);
      
      $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `users` = '$username' and `password` = '$password' LIMIT 1");
      
      // Counting the table row
      // If the result is matched then $username, $password must be row 1
      $count = @mysql_num_rows($check);
      
      // Logged in!
      if ($count == (int) 1) {
         $_SESSION['site_username'] = $username;
         $_SESSION['site_password'] = $password;
         
         echo '
<div align="center">    


<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td>


Welcome '. $_SESSION['site_username'] .'. You are now logged in!<br /><a href="members">Click Here to Continue</a><br /><a href="logout.php">Click here to logout if you want to now!</a>

</td>
</tr>

</table>

</div>
';

         $_GET['do'] = 'manualUnset';
         // Do whatever ?
      }
      else {
         echo 'Error: Wrong username or password specified. <br />';
      }
   }

   // If $_GET['do'] is set to 'manualUnset', do not show login form, user already logged in.
   switch ($_GET['do']) {
      case 'manualUnset':
         break;
      default:
?>


<div align="center">


    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
    <table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
     <tr>
      <td>Username:</td>
      <td>Password:</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
      <td><input type="text" name="username" /></td>
      <td><input type="password" name="password" /> &nbsp; <input name="loginSubmit" type="submit" value="Login" class="button" />
    </tr>
    
    <tr>
    
    <td>
        <?php
              break;
               }
        ?>

    </td>
     </tr>
    </table>
    </form>
 


</div>

Thanks in advance for any help, and thank you to Zenax for supplying me with this login/register script.

Change

require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. 'config.php');

to

require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. '/config.php');

Hello,

I would take a look on Google for tutorials on how to setup that.
