Topic: open_basedir restriction in effect [PHP on 5.1.2]

[Johan]

Hi
I wrote earlier in the General forum about this issue ( http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=3337.msg11257#msg11257 ) but I haven’t got any solution yet and I need it fast.
I have a php script that is located in one i-bay that access and edit files in another i-bay. This used to work in 5.0 but not in the 5.1 because of a new security feature.
I can't get it to work with Charlie Brady solution ( http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=3337.msg11257#msg11257 ):

---
/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop foo PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files
# Where 'foo' is the name of the i-bay, and /home/e-smith/files is the new
# Base directory you wish to allow access to (see PHP doco for details).
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify foo
---

Is there anyway to shutdown this feature completely?

Try this:

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop foo PHPBaseDir /
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify foo
