PHP - failed opening required

[HaydenANG]

Note, This is an external script not running on InfinityFree, if it’s in the wrong category, I’ll move it, The operating system is Ubuntu 18.04, PHP 7.2, Apache2

So, I have this script called make-cert.php, it has the following content;

<?php  
  $data = array(
      "certificate_domains" => "$_GET['domains']",
      "certificate_csr" => "$_GET['csr']",
      "certificate_validity_days" => "90"
  );
    
  $post_data = json_encode($data);
    
  $crl = curl_init('https://api.zerossl.com/certificates?access_key=xxxx');
  curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
  curl_setopt($crl, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
  curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
  curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
  curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
      'Content-Length: ' . strlen($payload))
  );
    
  $result = curl_exec($crl);
    
  if ($result === false) {
      $result_noti = 0; die();
  } else {
 
      $result_noti = 1; die();
  }
  curl_close($crl);
    
?>

And everytime I run it, I get 500 error, and the server log says:

PHP Fatal error:  Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/hn.fyi/ssl/src/make-cert.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in Unknown on line 0

include_path in php.ini is commented out.

I checked the PHP.ini file, and auto_prepend_file is empty, And other PHP code works on the same domain, document root & webserver.

What is going on?

Maybe this:

How do I resolve "PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required"

Do you open this make-cert.php script directly from your web browser? Or is this supposed to be a standardized module you’re including in a website handling script?

[HaydenANG]

Directly accessed, As in hn.fyi/ssl/make-cert.php?domains=xxx&csr=xxx

[Admin]

Interesting. If the web URL is hn.fyi/ssl/make-cert.php, why does the error show hn.fyi/ssl/src/make-cert.php? Where does the src part come from?

Are there any .htaccess rules or Apache config changes which mess with how these files and folders are routed?

Oh sorry, i completely forgot about that, it is hn.fyi/ssl/src/make-cert.php (https://www.hn.fyi/ssl/src/make-cert.php)
