Hi all,

This feature has just been published for BlueOnyx 5210R and BlueOnyx 5211R.

Under "Server Management" / "Security" / "PHP" you can tick the checkbox 
"Allow 'open_basedir none'".

If that is ticked, then on all Vsites where you want to have 
'open_basedir' disabled, you can now find a matching "Allow 
'open_basedir none'" in the PHP Settings of Vsites and can toggle it to on.

If "Allow 'open_basedir none'" is ticked on a Vsite, then 'open_basedir' 
is set to 'none' and you will gain some limited speed increase on 
complex PHP sites that use lots of includes - at the loss of some security.

We don't recommend to use the feature, as we value security over speed, 
but we leave the choice to you if you see it otherwise.

Please note: If "Allow 'open_basedir none'" is toggled off in
Under "Server Management" / "Security" / "PHP", then it will be turned 
off for all Vsites which had it on. So that's a quick way to pull the 
rug out from under this feature if needed.
