require_once does not see '../config.php"

So, I uploaded bbpress, configured config.php, punched bb-admin/install.php in my browser and saw... nothing. Not even an error message.

Ok, I went poking around. Deleted config.php and got the error message as expected.

Next line in the code is: require_once('../config.php');
I do not believe I get over this hurdle (if I recall correctly, require_once dies quietly).

I changed it to require config-sample.php, and got as far as database error message. config-sample.php and config-php sit next to each other with exactly same permissions.

I cannot think of a reason for require_once to see one but not the other...

Mystery...

Any ideas?

RESOLVED.

I am not sure what I did to fix it:
1) i renamed my config.php to config1.php (to get it out of the way);
2) copied config-sample.php to config.php
3) re-entered all the vaues, differences from the first time:
- I put in the API key
- I did not put in the time zone
- I put the quotation marks around wordpress URLs
