&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is probably an incorrect setting for $rooturl or $rootdir in config.php. In particular, config.php attempts to set $rootdir correctly by calling &amp;lt;nowiki&amp;gt;dirname(&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;FILE&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;)&amp;lt;/nowiki&amp;gt; and while this usually works, it can be upset when LimeSurvey is installed in a user&amp;#039;s home or public_html directory and the home directory is mounted over NFS. Try setting $rootdir manually, and in particular, while your shell or pwd command may show a path like &amp;quot;/disks/hostname/home/username/public_html/limesurvey&amp;quot;, try using &amp;quot;/home/username/public_html/limesurvey&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
