open_basedir restriction in effect. File is not within the allowed paths

[Glasairmell]

Hi,

In trouble shooting another problem I came across this when I tested my bps_php_error.log. I have Open BaseDir turned on for all sites.  Any suggestions please = ) ?

[24-May-2015 20:46:18 UTC] PHP Warning:  copy(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/xxx/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/:/usr/local/php55/lib/php/) in /home/xxxx/domains/xxx.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/php/php-options.php on line 1546

Cheers!

The php error message is very clear.  You would need to add the correct path to the open_basedir directive paths. I believe that would be: /home/xxxx/domains/xxx.com/public_html/ but do not quote me on that and check with your web host about that. I do not use open_basedir.

Since I am the host I will figure it out.  Just wanted to make sure it was not a something I had to set in BPS pro.  Thank you!  Bulletproof-security plugin seems to be looking for files outside the user directory.  Could this be the case?

Oh ok then I believe the path is this:  /root-path-up-to/your-user-account-name/:  If you are allowing everything within /your-user-account-name/ then that should take care of it. Or if that does work not then use the /full-path-to/public_html/. Nope it is simply that open_basedir just needs to be configured with the correct user account name folder/path.

Email Question:
Hi, running with php 7.0.12 now on centos 6.8 without problems. Its an amazing speed boost in compare to php 5.6 🙂
Only in the BPS error Log i get this warning:

The Open Basedir settings are the same like in php 5.33 and php 5.6. Have you maybe an idea?

Answer|Solution:
Yep, we have PHP7 installed on our local development server and it is amazingly fast.  Our host only has up to 5.4 available, but we compensate by doing other things to speed up performance.  😉

You would just need to add the path to the hosting folder that you want to allow open_basedir to be able to read and write to.
I believe that would be:  /var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/

Currently you are only allowing open_basedir in these folders:  (/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/ and /tmp/ You will need to open and edit your php.ini file and add either that additional path or change the existing path.

Example: open_basedir = "/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/:/var/www/vhosts/xxxxx/httpdocs/:/tmp/"

Hello,

I am getting a similar error but it seems to be linked to the WP Super Cache plugin:

PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/wp-cache-xh26030fb48e66db61f46060a402043325.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/usr/www/wwws/users/iafridzcgy:/usr/wwws/users/iafridzcgy:/usr/www/users/iafridzcgy:/usr/home/iafridzcgy:/usr/local/rmagic:/usr/share/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/share/www:/usr/www/share/www:/usr/share/misc:/dev/urandom:/var/www/php_profiler/xhgui) in /usr/www/users/iafridzcgy/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase2.php on line 100

I have contacted the WP Super Cache developer but please let me know if you have any insights or suggestions.

Thank you,

Grant

@ Grant – I believe you want to use this open_basedir setting:  open_basedir = /usr/www/users/iafridzcgy/:/tmp/ in your php.ini file. I think you are blocking PHP from being able to process custom php.ini files as well with your existing open_basedir path settings. After editing your php.ini file reboot your server if you have root permissions to your server.
