PHP include: failed to open stream: no such file in "/literally/the/exact/location/of/the/file"?

Question

So while trying to include a file in php, using include(/Users/leonaves/Sites/mysite/admin/inc/pages/dashboard.php) (I'm running locally), PHP tells me:

Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /Users/leonaves/Sites/mysite/admin/inc/page_request.php on line 86.

I have tried including from a relative path, from an absolute path, declaring the root in a variable etc. etc. I have no idea how to make this file include the other. PHP refuses to find it AT THE EXACT LOCATION IT IS. Any help would be amazing, thank you.

Is this location accessible by the webserver? Could it be a permissions issue. — Orangepill, Aug 07 '13 at 14:40
Could you `var_dump(file_exists($filename));` and `var_dump(is_readable($filename));` ? — Touki, Aug 07 '13 at 14:40
Have you tried specifying the drive letter in the path? (It looks like you're using Windows.) — rink.attendant.6, Aug 07 '13 at 14:41
@rink.attendant.6 No, that looks like MacOS. `/Users/username/Sites` is the default OSX personal site location. — Michael Berkowski, Aug 07 '13 at 14:42
@Touki: true on both counts, but include($filename) gives the same error. — Leon Aves, Aug 07 '13 at 14:44

PHP executes only scripts found in directories specified in open_basedir. Your path is probably not allowed.

It's the exact same message with php-fpm, on Linux at least. – Marc Plano-Lesay Aug 07 '13 at 14:44
open_basedir isn't defined in my php.ini, what's the default behaviour? – Leon Aves Aug 07 '13 at 14:53
Default is to allow everything. – Marc Plano-Lesay Aug 07 '13 at 14:56
