Topic: Overcome the open_basedir restrictions on per ibay

[stiperstones]

Hi all
Trying to overcome the open_basedir restriction on a per ibay name by adding a /tmp directory to it. For uploading files through php from browser
Then using a custom_template for http.conf and adding this to it.

<Directory home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/>
php_admin_value doc_root "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/"
php_admin_flag safe_mode on
php_admin_value open_basedir "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/"
</Directory>

maybe add this to it as well
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/"

Thoughts
1. Would i need to add .htaccess file directive in /tmp
2. Does this allow a php readfile script to run as this could be a problem.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and answers

trying this now
<Directory home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/html/>
php_admin_value doc_root "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/html/"
php_admin_flag safe_mode on
php_admin_value open_basedir "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/"
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir "home/e-smith/files/ibays/name of ibay/tmp/"
</Directory>

There is a correct way to do this rather than modify the template fragments. Read

The method you've been pointed to does use the template system. It uses pre-existing templates, rather than creating new custom templates. And it does allow them to be removed easily.

ps those dont work

Which "those" are you referring to?

Ah sorry yes they do work as per the Faq but my typing a little bit duff.

I have now relised after rereading the manual at bedtime.

Thank you for both for pointing me in the correct direction.
