I just installed category module on fresh 4.7b4, no wrapper and as soon as I enable the module I receive the following error:

Fatal error: category_init() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'modules/category/category.inc' (include_path='D:\php\PEAR') in D:\Inetpub\domain\modules\category\category.module on line 50

Line 50:
function category_init() {
require_once dirname(drupal_get_filename('module', 'category')) . '/category.inc';
}

Using IIS6, Windows 2003 server PHP5 MySQL5. Drupal thus far seems to be working, I've not added any other modules with the exception of category.

I also looked at this issue: http://drupal.org/node/42899

but don't know if they're related.
Thanks.

Your include path directive seems to be missing the usual dot.

Check out the PHP manual for include path.

Note the line Using a . in the include path allows for relative includes as it means the current directory.

Try it out and if the includes now works please close this issue.

From the PHP.net website as you indicated:

include_path string

Specifies a list of directories where the require(), include() and fopen_with_path() functions look for files. The format is like the system's PATH environment variable: a list of directories separated with a colon in Unix or semicolon in Windows.

Example G-1. Unix include_path

include_path=".:/php/includes"

Example G-2. Windows include_path

include_path=".;c:\php\includes"

Using a . in the include path allows for relative includes as it means the current directory.

This did fix my problem with includes. Thanks much for your reply Scott_dft!
