help: open_basedir restriction

[Reiniervr]

When using e-mail functions I get the following error

 

 

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /www/htdocs/fret/shop/catalog/includes/functions/general.php on line 957

 

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /www/htdocs/fret/shop/catalog/includes/functions/class.phpmailer.php on line 655

Could someone PLEASE help with this issue? I can not, for the life of me, figure this out.

 

I get the same errors;

Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/.newman/jbeck/ store.jamesbeck.com/install/includes/functions/database.php on line 149

 

I'm hosted by Dreamhost.com.

 

Thank you

I figured it out! I reinstalled oscommerce, and made sure I had everything set up correctly. The open_basedir error didn't reappear, but the typical errors were still at the top (install dir still present, and can still write to configure.php), so I renamed /install to /installx.

 

The open_basedir error appeared!

 

So I renamed /installx back to /install.

 

The error dissapeared.

 

I went into /includes/header.php, and commented out the first few lines that look for the installation directory.

 

The error stayed gone.

 

I renamed /install to /installx

 

The error was still gone.

 

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you get rid of the error. As far as I can tell, nothing is broken. Just comment out the lines that look for the /install directory, and you'll be all set.

 

Since I had such a bitch of a time getting this to work, I welcome anyone asking questions. [email protected]

Why not just delete the install directory :D

[idbeu]

That'll work too (instead of renaming), but it won't get rid of the error unless you comment out those lines.

 

Granted, not everyone has this problem to begin with. I didn't get the error when I built a local server. This only happens with my remote host. But apparently, a number of other people are getting the same thing.

The first thing I did after ftping files was to delete the install dir. I just tried commenting out the header.php tip & same thing.

I had no probs with my previous version.

But I decided to go with 2.2 (MS2) and keep getting these in the middle of default.php:

Since I only experience this with (MS2) is there an easy way to make it or configure it as (MS1)?
