I have to set $path to the ABSOLUTE server path... I wonder why this other cleaner version didn't work?

I'm not sure what I gain by having my directory structure organized this way. I keep all of my project under version control from the root level (using git). At least this way I'm not putting WP code in my repository (it's managed as a submodule) and yes, it's a bit of a pain every time wordpress is updated... but this way keeps my code repository smaller and cleaner. Other then that I've not really run into TOO much hassle with other plugins. Typically if it's a good plugin then you don't have problems, I only use good plugins ;) - like NextGen Gallery Oh yeah and for the record… I’m not sure what I gain by having my directory structure organized this way.

[accept .htaccess sometimes]) wp-config.php For some reason no matter what I do I can't get the flashuploader in the nextgen gallery plugin to upload. my ngg_config.php looks like this: Line 14: $path = dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp/'; // It should be end with a trailing slash Uploading without the flash works fine - everything else works fine... but with flashuploader enabled I get a (no pun intended) flash of an error message saying it can't find wp-load.php. Somehow the WordPress team handles this fine with their normal uploader... Why can't you use the same strategy? Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem? Thanks, Cheers, -Jeremy My file structure works like so:

.htaccess
/content (my wp-content folder as defined in the local-config.php)
index.php (Points to the boostrap in the wp folder)
local-config.php
/wp (clean subversion controled WP folder – nothing in here changes! [accept .htaccess sometimes])
wp-config.php

For some reason no matter what I do I can’t get the flashuploader in the nextgen gallery plugin to upload. my ngg_config.php looks like this:

Line 14: $path = dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp/’; // It should be end with a trailing slash

Uploading without the flash works fine – everything else works fine… but with flashuploader enabled I get a (no pun intended) flash of an error message saying it can’t find wp-load.php.
