comments script on webpage

[osterhas]

hello,

I just downloaded a comment script from "http://www.scriptsmill.com/comments.html" I unzipped, uploaded the files, started the install.php file.. and finally installed the mysql database without any problems.

now that I like to include this script into a HTML file nothing happens...

I uploaded the files to my webspace.. e.g.:

www.mydomain.com/comments/

all the files are in this folder.

then I build a HTML file with nothing but a

<?php require("/comments/comments.php"); ?>

in the BODY.

the html file is located like that:

www.mydomain.com/myhtmlfile.html

... when I am entering this URL to my browser this HTML file just stays blank.. nothing in it.

if I enter this url:

www.mydomain.com/comments/comments.php the comment script is displayed properly.

all the folders and files got 777 attribute

I tried different methods and links such as:

<!--#include virtual="/comments/comments.php" -->

<!--#include file="/comments/comments.php" -->


or <?php require("http://www.mydomain.com/comments/comments.php"); ?>

or <? include ("comments.php"); ?>

or <? include 'comments.php' ?>

or <? $root_url = "www.mydomain.com"; $a = $root_url . "/comments/comments.php"; ?>

<? include ($a) ?>

because all of my online content displayed online has to be uploaded via FTP to a folder called "webseiten" , I also tried this option...

<?php require("http://www.mydomain.com/webseiten/comments/comments.php"); ?>

and so on...

but nothing helped. this website always stays blank.. white, nothing on it.

what might be the problem?
