require config.inc.php does'nt work and load homepage instead

[limonaderose]

I'm working local in an external folder from prestashop (C:\xampp\htdocs/other_folder\script.php) and need to include or require config.inc.php in my file to call some prestashop function.

 

I use:

require('C:\xampp\htdocs/prestashop/config/config.inc.php');

 

when this line is executed, it loads the homepage of the shop(index.php) and stop the script.

 

Version is 1.6.0.8

 

Can somebody explain please?
