I'm receiving the following errors when I try to visit my Drupal-powered site:
Warning: main(sites/default/settings.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/warrantyshack.com/httpdocs/includes/bootstrap.inc on line 636

mysql 4.1.15-1.rhfc2.art
php 4.4.1-1.rhfc2.art
I've done a search here on drupal.org and on google but wasn't able to find anything dealing with my particular problem. I did check to make sure all of the files exist, so that is not the problem. Thanks!

Include path
Modify your include_path (see php.ini) to include the current directory: . -- e.g. include_path=".:/other_directory"

Ok, so my server's php.ini
Ok, so my server's php.ini file currently says:
include_path = "\".:\""
Should I create a php.ini file for just the domain I'm using drupal on, or should I edit that above line to be something else?

my include_path says
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = "d:\php"
what have I done wrong here?
Same problem, same solution - add the current directory
Add the current directory to the include_path. Eg
(note the dot)
Restart the webserver, try again.

Just wanted to update this
Just wanted to update this thread to let everyone know I put this fix into place and it worked great:
"To fix it globally, edit as root the appropriate php.ini file (/etc/php.ini, /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini, or similar), find any existing include_path directive (or create it if it does not exist) and add ".:" to that directive. To fix Drupal only, edit as root /includes/bootstrap.inc, and add the line "ini_set("include_path",".");" around line 639 of that file, before the "unset($conf);" line and the subsequent four "include_once..." directives. Once done, restart apache. Either one worked (for me) to get Drupal to display its main page."

Why you don't fix this BUGG????
It is not good programming if peaple have to change there mashines settings even if you go on in programming!
Just for hint!
Configuration
Welcome to the community.
This is arguably a configuration issue, not a Drupal bug. Submit a proper bugreport or feature request if you feel that strong about it (but search the bug list first).

how to do this when you have a hosted site
Thanks for posting this. In my case, my site is hosted, so I couldn't edit php.ini. But once I knew where to look, I was able to find a typo in a setup I installed ages ago to overwrite the ISP's php.ini - it was in my root .htaccess file (note - this could be your drupal .htaccess file - in my case, I have both the root .htaccess file that covers all php work on my various sites, and the drupal .htaccess file, used only by drupal. Because I had altered include_path in my root .htaccess file, that is where I made the correction:
php_value include_path ./usr/home/...became
php_value include_path .:/usr/home/...(I had forgotten to insert a colon between the "dot" that means "current directory" and the first absolute address in the include_path statement.)
Hope this helps the next person in this situation. And, if your problem is that you simply need to add the ".:" to php.ini, you can do it in a similar fashion - although make sure that you haven't closed off other paths that the original php.ini included or else you'll lose access to the isp-hosted php tools. The best way to do this would be to use something like:
php_value include_path .:/another new path:$pathwhere $path is the variable that appends the existing include_path to your addition(s).
$path doesn't work
Double-checking my last statement, I note that $path could be a variable name in a php statement, but it does NOT perform the function of appending whatever the existing include_paths were. I cannot find such a function in php (although it would be common in shell configuration files), so, instead, be careful that your revised, local include_path contains the paths defined in your ISPs php.ini file (for that, you can just use phpinfo()), and then includes any local paths that are relevant.
Most ISPs will have included ".:" in their generic php.ini include_path setups.

I have had this problem a couple of times. Today been one of them.
Doing a database update seems to fix it.
