in the index.php the $CONF['path'] variable is overwritten on line 20,
with line 26 being the require_once() call:

$CONF['path'] = '.';

This same line also is applied in the following file(s):

ssi.php
captcha.php
button.php
install/index.php
install/upgrade.php

in the source/user_cp.php file (incorrectly noted as usercp.php):
since the referenced require_once is enclosed in a class it is
impossible to instance this class and subsequently call the
require_once() on line 29.

in the source/admin.php file:
the same applies to this file as the require_once() are encapsulated
within a class that can not be instanced.
