Why ME?

i keep getting this error when installing:

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/public_html/system/databases/mysql.class.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/foreverg:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/foreverg/system/lib-database.php on line 114

Warning: main(/public_html/system/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/foreverg/system/lib-database.php on line 114

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/public_html/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/home/loginib') in /home/foreverg/system/lib-database.php on line 114


Can some one give me a decent answer? i know it is the $_CONF['path'] but why? A full exlpain answer and how to overcome the situation for me would be nice.

Look at the php.ini - your site would work if there is no open_basedir restriction there.

It looks like the path to system/databases is not included in the path specified in php.ini. PHP cannot access anything outside the specified basedir/s if this restriction is under affect. Please modify accordingly

good luck,

Ajay

Does your $_CONF['path'] line read as the following?

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/foreverg/'; // should end in a slash

As the error message says, only files in the following directories can be executed by PHP
Text Formatted Code
/home/foreverg
/usr/lib/php
/usr/local/lib/php
and
/tmp



 


Now it looks like you have put the geeklog core files in
/public_html which is not in any of the above paths and therefore not allowed according to the error message. (If this is not the case, please check where you have put the geeklog core files, for example config.php and tell us what that path is)

Try moving the core files to a subfolder in /home/foreverg/ for example /home/foreverg/geeklog-1.xxx .

In case /home/foreverg is readable through a URL by the rest of the world (ie the web directory = this is bad), put the geeklog core files in a non-web readable directory in the list above that still allows php execution for example /usr/local/lib/php/geeklog-1.xxx .

Hope that helps,

Ajay

[edit: could you please write to us where you have put the core files and the web-readable files? the feeling i get from the error is that there may be some issue there.

Also dont forget to change the paths in config.php and lib-common.php after making these changes]

If your host is using cpanel, you will not have access to anything beyond your /home/foreverg directory.

I always use this structure..

/home/foreverg/public_html/geeklog files/...

your root folder should show:

.cpanel.database
.trash
backups
data
language
logs
mail
plugins
public_ftp
public_html
sql
system
tmp
tmp
www
config.php
emailgeeklogstories

config.php should show:

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/foreverg/'; // should end in a slash

$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';

// you shouldn't need to edit theses
$_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'system/';
$_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'logs/';
$_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'language/';
$_CONF['backup_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'backups/';
$_CONF['path_data'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'data/';

$_CONF['path_images'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'images/';
