I would define the absolute path to the application root using:
define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
But I have come across this problem when using Dynamically Configured
Mass Virtual Hosting, and although you havent said, it may be
returning the IP instead of the servername withint the path:
should be
/path/to/vhosts/servername.com/htdocs
but is
/path/to/vhosts/IP_OF_SERVER/htdocs
instead, in this case yuo can just do a string replace
$_SERVER["SERVER_ADDR"]
with
$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]
with the
$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
variable
