 * I am a total php newbie so any help would be appreciated. I am trying to create
   some pages for my static pages for my site in a directory within my wordpress
   installation.
    For example my blog is [http://basketball2k.com/site/](http://basketball2k.com/site/)
   and the page I’m trying to create would be [http://basketball2k.com/site/interactive/index.php](http://basketball2k.com/site/interactive/index.php)
   So now when I try to copy the structure of the index.php file and put it in the
   interactive directoryt it keeps saying that
 * > Warning: main(ABSPATHwp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file
   > or directory in /home/bball2/public_html/site/interactive/index.php on line
   > 1
 * Is their a way I can specify that the wp-blog-header.php is at /home/bball2/public_html/
   site/ and that’s the only place it’s at?

 * In your wp install, it has this:
    `<?php  /* Don't remove this line. */ require('./
   wp-blog-header.php'); ?> For what you want, I would make that like this: <?php/*
   Don't remove this line. */ require('../../wp-blog-header.php'); ?> If that doesn’t
   work, then: <?php  /* Don't remove this line. */ require('../wp-blog-header.php');?
   > But I think the second one will work..
