I tried 4 trailing slashes and I’ve tried 3 trailing slashes and so on, and I get this message:

Warning: include(../../../../wp-settings.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/sites/site-dir/files/html/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/mypluginfile.php on line 11

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '../../../../wp-settings.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /www/sites/site-dir/files/html/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/mypluginfile.php on line 11

??

EDIT:
I deactivated the actual plugin and put this include in the file:
include '../../../wp-settings.php';

But I get this error when requesting that file:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  require(ABSPATHwp-includes/compat.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/www/sites/site-dir/files/html/wp-settings.php</b> on line <b>246</b><br />

Do you happen to know what the actual include code would be?
I don’t want it to sound like I want you to do it for me, but I have tried to include files and couldn’t get the right directory.

i.e. How many ‘../’ should I use to get to the settings file..

Yes, it comes up in WP-Admin->Plugins.

Right now, it is in:

wp-content/
--plugins/
----mypluginname/
------mypluginname.php

Unfortunately, I have to use prototype for this script..
There is a button on the page “More Stories” with the id=”MoreStories”.

var more_offset = 6;
			    $('MoreStories').observe('click', function() {
			        var moreAjax = new Ajax.Request('https://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/myplugin/mypluginname.php?offset=' + more_offset, {
			          method: 'get',
			          onCreate: function() {
			              $('NewsStories_Container').setStyle({'background':'url(https://mysite.com/path/to/theme/images/ajaxloading.gif) bottom left no-repeat'});
			          },
			          onComplete: function(oReq) {
			            $('NewsStories_Container').setStyle({'background':'none'});
			        	var data = oReq.responseText;
			            if (data != 'finished') {

			                if (data.substr(-8, 8) == 'finished') {
			                    data = data.slice(0, -8);
			                    $('MoreStories').fade({queue: 'end'});
			                }

			            	$('NewsStories_Container').innerHTML += "<ul id='more"+more_offset+"' class='newslist' style='display:none'>" + data + "</ul>";

			            	$('more'+more_offset).appear({queue: 'end'});
			            	more_offset += 5;

			            }
			            else {
			                $('MoreStories').hide();
			            }
			          }
			        });

			    });

The way the previous programmer used a Template, I changed the Ajax.Request() url from his template to my plugin though. His template handled this script:

query_posts('showposts=5&caller_get_posts=1&offset='.$_GET['offset']);
		$count = 1;
		if (have_posts()) :
		  while (have_posts()) : the_post();
		  $categories = get_the_category();
		  $category = $categories[0];
		  foreach($categories as $cat) {
		      if ($cat->parent != 0)
		         $category = $cat;
		     }
		   $showurl = get_bloginfo('url')."/".get_the_time('Y')."/show-news/".the_slug();
		?>

		<li>
		    <h2><a href="<?=$showurl?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></h2>
		    <span class="PostInfo">By <?php the_author(); ?>, <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> in <?php the_category(', '); ?></span>
		    <?php
		        if ( p75HasThumbnail($post->ID) ) {
		            $dimensions = getimagesize('/home/dir/goes/here/'.p75GetOriginalImage($post->ID));
		            echo "<a href='$showurl' class='radius8' style='margin: 0 5px 5px 20px; float: left; clear: left; display: block; width: 145px; height: ".(floor(145*$dimensions[1]/$dimensions[0]))."px; background: url(".p75GetThumbnail($post->ID, 145).") no-repeat top left;'>&nbsp;</a>";
	        }
	    ?>
	    <?php the_advanced_excerpt('length=190&use_words=0') ?>
	    <a class="readmore" href="<?=$showurl?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" >Read More</a>
	    <div class="bottomfade"><span class="left">&nbsp;</span><span class="right">&nbsp;</span><span class="mid">&nbsp;</span></div>
		</li>
		<?php
	    if( (($wp_query->current_post + 1) == ($wp_query->post_count)) && $count != 5)
	        echo 'finished';
		$count++;
		endwhile;
		else: {
		    echo 'finished';
		}
		endif;

Yes, it is in <mypluginname> folder.. You’re saying it needs to be in the same folder as ‘hello.php’?
