[BlueOnyx:10378] Re: open_basedir restriction in effect.

[DD]

Hi all. My apologies for bugging you on a weekend :(

I still seem to be getting no further. To recap:

	I want to run a PHP script via crontab. The entry in /etc/crontab
is:
	12,42  * * * * root php /home/.sites/70/site4/update_products.php

update_products.php contains:

	$fn="/home/.sites/70/site4/product_list.csv";
	if(file_exists($fn)) { ... }

The file is uploaded via FTP from an AS400 somewhere. If found, it should be
parsed, then deleted.

Whenever I try to run this through the shell, with "php
/home/.site/70/site7/update_products.php" I get an error:

	PHP Warning:  file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. 
	File(/home/.sites/70/site4/product_list.csv) is not within the 
	allowed path(s): (/tmp/:/var/lib/php/session/:/usr/sausalito/
	configs/php/) in /home/.sites/70/site4/update_products.php 
	on line 10

I am logged in as admin and use su to become root.  I get this error even if
I copy the file to /web/. However I *can* run the file by browsing to
http://<domain>/update_products.php

All files and the /site4/ folder are owned by a username of the site. The
only thing out of the ordinary is that the host name is 'upload', not www.

This is on 5108R, fresh install, no other packages added. It also used to
work on the server that was reimaged recently, a 2009 install that was
otherwise up to date.

Any ideas?

Hi DD,

Yes, that is correct. Because the above are "must have" items. They (and the

path to the Vsite in question) will always be filled in automatically.

To that add a ':/'. That's a semicolon and a slash. That will add '/' to
your 
path as well and grants access to anything everywhere. PROVIDED that the
file 
that the script wants to access is in a readable directory and that the
script 
has sufficient permissions to access said file. So please also check the 
ownership and permissions of your product_list.csv and the directory that it

resides in.
