I have see letters at least of 2 developers who did get success.

On my computer, folder database is located in my home:
                "/Users/~rz"


And paths in the example are as:

Try to add print() and flush as in my code.

Also in such cases when page fail, it help to set flushes (THIS IS PHP
command) to see in browser results of operators that have work with success.

I believe VPHP returns even OS errors e.g. File not found.
But you need use flush() to start see them in browser.
