[Mediawiki-l] Problem with custom skin path

[Daniel Steiner]

Thank you very much. 
Inserting "global $IP;" works perfectly.

(P.S. Sorry for confusing, I'm not using three dots. It was only for
shortening real path string.)

Are you using three dots?
Only two dots lead you to your parent.

Try adding a  global $IP; above that.
