what is going with file path names? customarchive page will not call header (2 posts)

    i have made a custom archive page, and am trying to get the header and footer to show up, but it gives me errors with both get_header and include functions

    it's as though the custom-archive.php page can't find the header.php in the theme's directory -even though they are in the same directory. I think this problem has to do with file paths, but i don't understand exactly how to write it out.

    i don't understand why it won't work just like the single.php page, which calls the header and footer in a straightforward manner and works fine.

    any help will be appreciated.

    (with get_header)
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/content/38/6023538/html/wordpress-mu/wp-content/themes/anomie_one_column/custom-archives.php on line 8

    (with include)

    also, this is a sub theme on a wordpressmu site.
    http://anomie_theme_template.anomie.ca/wordpress-mu/

    the main site is anomie.ca

    You must have to follow the template hierarchy of wordpress for naming and customization of template files..
