Open basedir restriction

[Guest Zpoon]

Hi

I just installed CubeCart and ended up with these errors:

Site:

Is this a server issue, or something I have done wrong in the installation?

[Guest hennaboy]

Its a server issue. What are you hosted on? Operating system, Control panel?

[Guest Zpoon]

linux server, control-panel is something the host has made themselves, not one of the major panels

[Guest hennaboy]

Look at your php server info .... Look at the configuration for the PHP Core. Is there anything set there for open base directory? The list is quite long but its in alphabetical order...

if you dont know where to look simply create a php file with the following

<?php



// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL

phpinfo();



?>

call it something like info.php and then view that in your browser.

"No Value"

[Guest hennaboy]

your host must be running php in safe mode this will stop php scripts that can upload to the server. contact them as they can place a conf file for your site so that it overides the setting.

[Guest watermelon]

I am having the same problem and my host won't change the setting. Any other suggestions?

[convict]

I think that whole safe mode is not responsible for this issue.

May be solution

they dont need to change the setting for the entire server. they can place in your account a conf file that will lift the restriction only for your domain.

ask them to create a vhost.conf file

Directory /home/.... your path to your http docs

php_admin_value open_basedir /

php_admin_value safe_mode 0

/Directory

See if that helps.

[convict]

I have never sugested to change ANY setting for entire server .

TVBanks98 solution cant be used generally, but in situations like this may be helps.

Php ini_set() sets the value of the given configuration option. The configuration option will keep this new value during the script's execution, and will be restored at the script's ending.

Keep in mind ;)
