Error ..

I was noticing this error in the log files. Any input?

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: file_exists() [<a href='http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php'>function.file-exists.php</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/lib/php/session) is not within the allowed path(s):

It's a server side configuration, so the open_basedir needs to be configured correctly for your site. Or, you can override the sessions config and place it within a directory in your store. If you have this issue the cart normally tells you and provides instructions on how to set that up.

You will need to speak to your hosting company to get this sorted

Hi,

I have a VPS server and have access to configure anything. Any pointer where open_basedir should be configured or added in Apache?

[jka]

Ok. I have added the path explicitly to the cubecart store directory in the php config file.

I think it would be the path that is in the complaint that would need to be added:
/var/lib/php/session

Unless what you changed was the location to PHP's session path setting. In which case, a distinct /session/ folder within the CubeCart installed folder would be appropriate.

[jka]

You are absolutely right . So, should I add that session folder to the php config? Is it normal and safe?

I did a little bit more of research on this issue. Our CC store works perfectly fine except for those php warnings in the log related to /var/lib/php/session 

The easy fix was to add this in the open_basedir. However I am curious why this session variable CC_ROOT_DIR is looking at /var/lib/php and not at the CCStore directory which the rest of the app is properly working.

Any pointers on where this sessions config file is located and to change it?
