Some applications require open_basedir to be “loosened” a little, if you are installing an application such as ClickCart Pro then the open_basedir will need to be changed so that the installation can create the required sub directories and then complete.
Let’s assume your domain name is domain.com (no such luck, I know!)
# vi /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/vhost.conf
Add the following lines:
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs>
php_admin_value open_basedir “/var/www/vhosts/domain.com”
php_admin_flag safe_mode off
</Directory>
Now we need to rebuild the apache configuration:
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -u –vhost-name=domain.com
Job done, your open_basdir setting has been moved up one level (from /httpdocs to /) within your domain name sub folder.
