Question [Merged topic] Open_basedir in effect

It's still a very good idea to get rid of any need for running "legacy mode" on your website.

Please important advice for K 1.6 users about Legacy Mode

You have allowed paths wich are :

/ var / xxx / xxxx / xxxx /
/ var / xxx / xxxx / phptmp /
/ var / xxx / xxxx / files /
/ var / xxx / xxxx / atd /

The directories /tmp and / var/lib/php5 are not in these allowed paths

I don't like the hosts which using the open_basedir restriction in effect

This is a problem found on my site at www.cowboylifeandsong.com/

I upgraded my Kunena 1.5 to 1.6 and everything went nicely except when a user changes or uploads his avatar image, this warning occurs

Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/virtual/cowboylifeandsong.com/:/usr/share/php/) in /var/www/virtual/cowboylifeandsong.com/htdocs/components/com_kunena/lib/kunena.file.class.1.5.php on line 33

I found that the server at my webhosting company has set open_basedir parameter to /var/www/virtual/cowboylifeandsong.com/:/usr/share/php/ and they will not change it. My other sites set this to No Value or none.

I also wonder that why Kunena still using kunena.file.class.1.5.php since I see that kunena.file.class.1.6.php is also present in the same folder.

Anyone can tell me a solution to get rid of this warning without changing the php settings on the server side will be highly appreciated.

I tried using a local php.ini but it does not work since the server settings do not allow users to use local php.ini.

This error is actually a minor bug in K 1.6.0 - it's more of a annoyance than anything else.

The error orginates from Warning: is_writable() [function.is-writable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/virtual/cowboylifeandsong.com/:/usr/share/php/) in /var/www/virtual/cowboylifeandsong.com/htdocs/components/com_kunena/lib/kunena.file.class.1.5.php on line 33


Line 33 should be changed to
The @ hides the error message.

This problem is fixed in K 1.6.1.

Code:

$tmpdir = @is_writable('/tmp') ? '/tmp' : false;

Thank you very much. My problem is fixed.
