php - open_basedir restriction in effect

itemprop="text">

I have been having trouble using a
file upload script on my server - came to the conclusion that this was because PHP was
being run on Apache Module so reconfigured PHP to run as
FastCGI.

Unfortunately now when I try
to upload a file via uploadify I get the
error

Warning:
move_uploaded_file()[function.move-uploaded-file] open_base_dir restrictions in effect.
File(/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/uploads/filename.txt) is not within the allowed
path(s):(/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
.....

It then
refers me to line 32 of my script which
reads:

move_uploaded_file($tempFile,$targetFile);

$tempFile
is as follows:

$tempFile =
            str_replace("
            ","",$_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name']);

I
have tried altering my vhost.conf file in numerous ways bit without success - it
currently stands as

            /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs>

             sapi_apache2.c>
 php_admin_flag engine off
 php_admin_flag
            safe_mode on
 php_admin_value open_basedir none
             mod_php5.c>
 php_admin_flag engine on
 php_admin_flag safe_mode
            off
 php_admin_value open_basedir none

            

I
seem to be going round in circles - it seems that the tmp directory is not being
found

Answer

If it's your server and you can actually mess
around with configuration, you can turn off the open_basedir in
your php.ini, reload PHP and try if it works. safe_mode should
be turned off in PHP by default as this option causes only
problems.

Or you can try
following:

            /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs>
 php_admin_value open_basedir
            "/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/:/tmp/:/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/uploads/"

Same
can apply for the php.ini if you decide to set the config there.
