open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):

Question

I\'m getting this error on an avatar upload on my site. I\'ve never gotten it before and nothing was changed recently for me to begin getting this error...

Answer 1

If used ispconfig3:

Go to Website section -> Options -> PHP open_basedir:

• In this field has described allowed paths and each path is separated with ":"

/var/www/clients/client2/web3/image:/var/www/clients/client2/web3/web:/var/www/... and so on

• So here must put the path that you want to have access, in my case is:

/var/www/clients/client2/web3/image:

• The problem appears because:

When a script tries to access the filesystem, for example using include, or fopen(), the location of the file is checked. When the file is outside the specified directory-tree, PHP will refuse to access it.
