Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s)

Error:

 

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/gzip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/doranpac:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/doranpac/public_html/admin/backup.php on line 443

 

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/local/bin/zip) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/doranpac:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/doranpac/public_html/admin/backup.php on line 444

 

Now my lines for 443 & 444 are:

if (file_exists(LOCAL_EXE_GZIP)) $contents[] = array('text' => '<br>' . tep_draw_radio_field('compress', 'gzip') . ' ' . TEXT_INFO_USE_GZIP);

if (file_exists(LOCAL_EXE_ZIP)) $contents[] = array('text' => tep_draw_radio_field('compress', 'zip') . ' ' . TEXT_INFO_USE_ZIP);

 

And the defines are:

 

// Used in the "Backup Manager" to compress backups

define('LOCAL_EXE_GZIP', '/usr/bin/gzip');

define('LOCAL_EXE_GUNZIP', '/usr/bin/gunzip');

define('LOCAL_EXE_ZIP', '/usr/local/bin/zip');

define('LOCAL_EXE_UNZIP', '/usr/local/bin/unzip');

 

 

In server_info.php

open_basedir shows : /home/doranpac:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp

 

Admin Settings are as follows:

Use Cache: true

Cache Directory: /home/doranpac/public_html/cache/

GZip Compression: true

Level: 5

 

Any help is apprecaited.

I contacted my host provider and they gave me this reply,

 

This is because of the open_basedir restriction.

 

You can over come this by editing options in your .htaccess file. There are different ways of achieving this so I would suggest doing a Google search for 'htaccess + open_basedir' for you to find the best solution suited to your needs.

 

Can anyone help
