Using the cart in folders other than "shop"

[hogiedada]

How does one use all of the configuration files for the shop in another directory... I want to use the cart application in other folders and not just in the "shop" folder.

 

For example: I have a folder on my root called "eCards". A default.php file in this folder calls require('../shop/includes/application_top.php');

 

It works fine in the "shop" folder but when relative paths are corrected for the other folder I end up with this error:

 

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'includes/configure.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/shop/public_html/shop/includes/application_top.php on line 34

 

I'd like to keep my folder structure in tact as there are many files to administer.

 

Cheers
