Hi everyone:
We recently purchased hosting from Godaddy for a linux virtual dedicated server and are in the processing of transferring four domains from our shared web hosting site to the new VDC. One of the problems I have run into is in our existing PHP scripts. These scripts use the PHP “include” command to load scripts for one or more exterior files. However, when I try to open the page that contains those scripts, I receive the following errors in the domain error log:
[client 72.152.123.146] PHP Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/doctorswellnesscentre.com/httpdocs:/tmp:/var/lib/php) in /var/www/vhosts/doctorswellnesscentre.com/httpdocs/includes/common.php on line 63
[client 72.152.123.146] PHP Warning: main(config.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /var/www/vhosts/doctorswellnesscentre.com/httpdocs/includes/common.php on line 63
[client 72.152.123.146] PHP Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘config.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:’) in /var/www/vhosts/doctorswellnesscentre.com/httpdocs/includes/common.php on line 63
I have tried to change the httpd.conf file to include the path in the open_basedir settings, but I have been unsuccessful. I do not completely understand how open_basedir affects the server or how the include_path setting in the php.ini file affects browsing, etc.
If someone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Our new VDC has been installed for about a week and we are unable to use it becaues I can’t figure out the above problem.
Thanks.
