I think that the second error was because you have the file name in the include_path.
The inlcude_path is only suppose to indicate the directory without the trailing slash.
So, I think it saw global.php as a directory and not a file.

But anyway, you've got it working. So let's not rock the boat.

i'm getting this error after adding in..

Warning: Unable to access ./admin/config.php in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/certifyexpress.com/httpdocs/forum/global.php on line 102

Fatal error: Failed opening required './admin/config.php' (include_path='.::/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/certifyexpress.com/httpdocs/forum/global.php') in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/certifyexpress.com/httpdocs/forum/ on line 102

In the error above, you have this:

Quote: Failed opening required './admin/config.php' (include_path='.:')

The include path is only '.', or the directory of the parent process. Does the include_path change after adding the ini_set() line?

hmm...i've tried that...still getting the same error...

When dealing with include() and require(), relative paths are always relative to the (top most) parent process.
This means that PHP is evaluating './admin/config.php' as relative to 'phpresume/index.php', and not '../forum/global.php'.

Try adding this to the PHP script before including global.php:

<?php
ini_set(\"include_path\", ini_get(\"include_path\") . ':/usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/certifyexpress.com/httpdocs/forum');
?>

PHP Docs: ini_get(), ini_set(), include_path
