upload image - open_basedir error

[djerik]

Hi All

 

After my host has changed some settings at the server, uploading images no longer works. Therefore I installed the shop again, still no luck.

 

The error message:

 

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/fullpull.dk/public_html/shop/images/1458_s.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/fullpull.dk/public_html:/var/www/phpmyadmin/:/var/www/fullpull.dk/tmp) in /mnt/raid/www/www/fullpull.dk/public_html/shop/admin/includes/classes/upload.php on line 91

 

The phpinfo can be viewed here: phpinfo

 

Any help will be great!

Make sure that you create a folder called 'tmp' in the root of your website, and give it full permissions (777). See if that helps.

When I log in with my FTP client I can see a folder called tmp i the root of my site. This folder is created by my host. I cannont access the folder. I cannont change the permissions, currently it has permission 700, is that sufficient?

My host has now changed it to 777, still no luck.

 

However, my ftp client cannot access the folder, it times out listing the directory?

 

What now?

I can't guarantee that this will work - or even if there is a connection between the session save path and file uploads - but you can give it a try.

 

In your osC admin panel, under Configuration --> Sessions click on the top link which says /tmp for the file path. You then have two options:

 

1. Someone has suggested it works if you just change it to tmp with no slash

 

2. If that doesn't work then change the pathway to /var/www/fullpull.dk/tmp

 

3. If that doesn't work then change hosts - because with your current hosts running php in Safe Mode and with Open Base Dir Restrictions in effect this is probably only the first of problems you will encounter.

None of the above mentioned helped.

 

Thank you very much for your help, I will change to another host instead.

That's a good move - because with PHP running in Safe Mode many hosts simply disallow the 'file upload' function in PHP, and then the errors you see on screen simply cannot be rectified at all and only mislead people into thinking they can resolve it.
