 * Hey whaus,
 * I really have no idea why it’s not working. Include paths are pretty basic. Do
   you mind if I take a look at it?
 * Thanks,
    Mike

 * I got it. I had exactly this issue: [http://blog.calevans.com/2008/02/14/set_include_path-failing/](http://blog.calevans.com/2008/02/14/set_include_path-failing/)
 * in the apache virtualhost config file I used this:
    php_admin_value include_path“.:/
   usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php5/PEAR:/usr/share/php5/Zend”
 * the problem ist the ‘php_**admin**_value’ therein. after changing it to
    php_value
   include_path “.:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php5/PEAR:/usr/share/php5/Zend”
 * all works fine.

 * So was it missing .: for the current directory?

 * no, “.:” was there. your code was ok, the path variables were ok, but the php_**
   admin_**value setting prevented the setting of the include-path in the php-script.
   set_include_path always returned false and no new path could be set at all.
 * after changing it to **php_value** (without the “admin_”) it worked.

 * I’m seeing similar errors right after activating the plugin.
 * Mvied, have you tried using `plugin_basename( __FILE__ )` instead of setting 
   include_path?
