Help me figure out these errors

[luckybike]

Hello,

 

I'm getting the following error message when I click to sing into my store:

 

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs/catalog/install) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/warnings.php on line 5

 

Please note I only seem to be getting these error messages when I'm logging in with https

 

I'm also getting several errors on the admin panel.

 

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/bin/mysql) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpdocs/catalog/admin/backup_mysql.php on line 38

Besides this I'm having some permission errors, for example:

 

ERROR_TEMPLATE_IMAGE_DIRECTORY_NOT_WRITEABLE/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpdocs/catalog/templates/Original/images/

and a few others.

 

The directory is CHMOD 755, I can get around this error by going CHMOD 777... But I would much rather get to the root of my problem.

 

Here is some details on my setup:

 

I'm installing Oscommerce on a VPS running Red Hat E3 and a Plesk 7.1.6 control panel. Therefore I have two directories, httpdocs and httpsdocs. I have Symlinked httpdocs to httpsdocs so httpsdocs shows contents of httpdocs.

 

Here is my Catalog Config file:

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
?define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.luckybike.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
?define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.luckybike.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
?define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
?define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.luckybike.com');
?define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.luckybike.com');
?define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
?define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
?define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
?define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
?define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
?define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
?define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
?define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
?define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
?define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
?define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
?define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

//Added for BTS1.0
?define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', 'templates/');
?define('DIR_WS_CONTENT', DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . 'content/');
?define('DIR_WS_JAVASCRIPT', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'javascript/');
//End BTS1.0
?define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');
?define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpdocs/catalog/');
?define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
?define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

// define our database connection
?define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
?define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '***');
?define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '***');
?define('DB_DATABASE', '***');
?define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
?define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
?>

 

 

I hope someone can help me out! Or at least point me in the right direction. :lol:

you need to create a tmp directory at (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com to it looks like (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/tmp and give it write permissions of 700 then in the admin area of the store/configuration change the path for logging, cache, sessions from the /tmp to (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/tmp

[luckybike]

Thanks for the quick reply! I really appreciate it!

 

The tmp directory was already there, so I went ahead and defined the path as you suggested. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. :(

 

I'm pretty sure it is someting with my https because it works perfect under http. When I try a secure connection I start having problems.

 

Is anyone else using a Symlink for the httpsdocs and httpdocs directory? Or is this where my problem may be?

 

Any suggestions are appreciated... I have been fighting this for three days now.. ugh..

Just to clarify:

 

The Login works fine without https, the Admin area will still give me the same warning message

[luckybike]

in the warning message:

 

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs/catalog/install) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs:/tmp) in /home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/warnings.php on line 5

 

I notice it reads the path as:

 

/home/httpd/vhosts/luckybike.com/httpsdocs:/tmp

 

:/tmp

 

is it normal to have the : in the warning message?

[luckybike]

Hey Mibble,

 

Thanks for the help, you pointed me in the right direction and I was able to fix my problem! :D

 

The proper PHP_Admin values where not set to point to the /tmp directory.

 

Thanks again!

Can you explain that fix to me please. I'm getting the error
