Hello All, Hello Keith,

thanks a million for the responses, I'm already happy to understand 
where the EM are coming from.

The config.php are in each database;

/[root at caw-server2 db]# ls
reg_begeleidingsteam  reg_jww_archief   reg_personeel     reg_straathoekwerk
reg_bib               reg_jww_dossiers  reg_resident      reg_vrijwilligers
reg_drughulp          reg_jww_dvd       reg_signaleren
reg_jac_activiteit    reg_onthaal       reg_sollicitatie/

so for instance reg_bib ( witch has a library ) has config.php :

/[root at caw-server2 reg_bib]# ls
background_logo.jpg    config.php  database.php  index.php
background_stripe.png  cron.php    favicon.ico/

Following your advise, I changed the include enty to :

  include "/var/www/html/nubuilder/db/reg_bib/config.php";

this seems to work without EM, I'm now checking if this indeed truncated 
the files.

again many thanks !

Greetings,J.
