Show blog posts on non-wordpress site with php

I'm trying to display the most recent blog post on the homepage of a website that isn't wordpress, using php.

This is my code:

<?php require('../../../../../../../blog/wp-blog-header.php');

?>

<?php   
$args = array( 'numberposts' => 3, 'post_status'=>"publish",'post_type'=>"post",'orderby'=>"post_date");
$postslist = get_posts( $args );
echo '<ul id="latest_posts">';
 foreach ($postslist as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?> 
    <li><strong><?php the_date(); ?></strong><br />
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title();?>"> <?php the_title(); ?></a>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
 </ul>

But I'm getting this error:

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../../../../../../../blog/wp-blog-header.php' (include_path='/home/devbh/public_html/app/code/local:/home/devbh/public_html/app/code/community:/home/devbh/public_html/app/code/core:/home/devbh/public_html/lib:.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/devbh/public_html/app/design/frontend/test1/default/template/page/hpBlog.phtml on line 35

I've made sure the filepath is correct so that shouldn't be the issue, but can't really think what else it could be? Any ideas?

Some example code how it should work:

<?php
// those two lines at the very top
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('/path/to/your/wordpress/wp-load.php');

// ... rest of your code like for example ...

query_posts('showposts=1');
while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>

<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<p><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Read more...</a></p>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Here is an article with some further details:

If your error persists, and both your sites run on different virtual hosts, then check your apache configuration. Make sure your vhost can access your other directory (from a security perspective its kindof nasty to do that)
