# [Plugin: XML Google Maps] Fatal error – /usr/share/pear

 * I’m trying to get newest version of [XML Google Maps](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xml-google-maps/)
   to work.
 * 1. When I tried for the 1st time to load a map I got following error
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(../../wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ulrike/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xml-google-maps/xmlgooglemaps_show.php on line 6
   
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../wp-config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/ulrike/public_html/wp-content/plugins/xml-google-maps/xmlgooglemaps_show.php on line 6
       ```
   
 * 2. I changed the dir in the xmlgooglemaps_show.php to the actual place of the
   wp-config.php, now I receive a new error and don’t know what to do:
 *     ```
       Warning: require_once(/home/ulrike/wp-settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ulrike/wp-config.php on line 90
   
       Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/ulrike/wp-settings.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/ulrike/wp-config.php on line 90
       ```

 * I just confirmed that in the mentioned dir (/usr/share/pear) the PEAR library
   is present and correctly installed.

 * Worked it out, somehow the global directory variable wasn’t assigned right so
   WP started looking for something, which wasn’t there.

 * Hi Hivemind,
    I have the same problem. Can you please direct me where you changed
   the global directory variable?

 * Heya, I tried to figure out where I changed it but unfortunately I’ve got no 
   clue… Sorry for the incomplete solution, hope you find out.
