Hi,

It reads as if $CFG is an object and ->dirroot is not a public property 
of that object. So, I don't know what $CFG is, but I think the problem 
lays there.


if that property is not public but protected or private it would throw a 
fatal error.

I think you know I don't agree with that, but I too don't want to start

Is it possible that something is "going wrong" between the definition
of $CFG->foo and when you require that could cause $CFG->dirroot to be
null? Then it would point to /lib/setup.php, which definitely
shouldn't exist and should thus throw an error, but maybe it's worth
looking into.

 That would rule out any error reporting problems
anyway.

Have you tried something to the effect of  on the first line of setup.php?  Adding  after the require_once() might also
help.

> I've confirmed that the file setup.php exists and is readable.
I apologize if this seems obvious, but for the sake of
brainstorming... it's readable by the user running apache, right? And
even if it weren't, that should have thrown an error *shrugs*

That's all I can think of. I hope it is of some use to you.

I've confirmed that the file setup.php exists and is readable.  I've got

Kubuntu 7.10.  Nothing shows up in my apache error log, and PHP itself

when I put in a deliberate syntax error.


Syntax errors in which file? The calling one (where you have the 
require_once) or the lib/setup.php file?


Maybe something in your code is disabling your error reporting, I'd put 
both:


error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

in before the require_once and see what happens.
