open_basedir restriction in effect File is not within the allowed path

Question

Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/futbol/data:.:/tmp:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/usr/local/bin) in /home/futbol/data/www/futbol.kg/libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php on line 451

I get this Warning in joomla, after I log in, i really don't have idea on how to fix this, maybe there is need to change some server settings, but which one?, thanks

Answer 1

Check your configuration.php file. Ensure that the log and tmp entries look like

public $log_path = '/home/futbol/data/www/futbol.kg/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/home/futbol/data/www/futbol.kg/tmp';

If these entries are correct, and you still get that message, disable all non-core system plugins, as it then must be one of them causing the problem.

Answer 2

open_basedir restriction in effect

This means that you've set the open_basedir setting in your php.ini; and joomla is trying to read something that's not in the configured basedir.

Remove open_basedir from your php.ini. This gives a false sense of security (it can easily be bypassed), and causes more troubles than it solves.
