Incorrect methods of getting paths breaking plugin

  • When I am testing a site on a local windows computer (WAMP), the practice of using __FILE__ to build paths is breaking the plugin and creating Apache errors.

    A specific example is class-itsec-backup-admin.php ITSEC_Backup_Admin > function run() > $this->module_path = ITSEC_Lib::get_module_path( __FILE__ );

    All the stylesheet links are broken and give an error in Apache similar to this: The given path is misformatted or contained invalid characters: Cannot map GET <broken path>, referer: https://site.localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?page=toplevel_page_itsec_help
