   Hi All,
   I'm trying to do a simple bridge of wordpress and phpbb. In the overall_header.html of phpbb I have this code:

   <!-- PHP --> require( '/home/poultry/public_html/wp-config.php' );
   wp_cache_init();
   <!-- ENDPHP -->

   This way I can use wordpress theme functions in the overall_header.html to intergrate the styles, though when I add this code it returns a blank page. I have searched a right bit to no avail, any ideas?

   Thanks

   It sounds that you have error when calling wp-config.php file that's why it returns a white screen of death.

   Correct your path that will point to your wp-config.php file.

   wouldn't you include wp-load.php instead? wp-config doesn't load wordpress, just defines things

   Thanks for the replies!

   I tried a few path alternatives, but they all threw up this error:
   

   Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'http://poultry.ie/wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/poultry/public_html/forum/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php on line 5

   Using wp-load.php didn't make any difference, I got wp-config.php off some other tutorial, but when I get it working i'll look into which is better to use.

   Just to add that my actual wordpress install is working fine, and I checked the error log, no obvious errors showing up.

   You can call the wp-config.php or wp-load.php using relative path. For example:
   include ('../../../wp-load.php');

   Let's say you're overall_header.html located in your root within /phpbb directory, then your include looks like this:
   include('../../wp-config.php');

   Hope that helps.

   Yeh I tried using relative paths but I got the same error as above. Thanks for your reply though.

   What is the full path of your wp-config.php?
   What is the full path of your overall_header.html?

    Http://poultry.ie/wp-config.php (installed at the root)
    Http://poultry.ie/forum/styles/prosilver/templates/overall_header.html

    Have you tried to use the relative path below?
    require('../../../../wp-config.php')
