Hello,
I know, it has been reported and I read a lot of "solutions".
I even tried to change the code in the file /environment/functions/files.php of the function "force_mkdir" and I'm not allowed to change any variable on mysql.

It fails to upload any file of any size. My post_max_size php variable is 10 M.
I use the file storage instead of mysql storage because I cannot increase the size of the desired variable in my.cnf

Does anyone have a working solution of modification of this function to make it write in a allowed folder ?

I think the problem comes from there, in the server, the variable "open_basedir" is set as :

/home/awstats/data:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype:/usr/local/bin:/home/www for local value and

/home/awstats/data:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype:/usr/local/bin:/home/www for master value.

In the log.php, I can read this (before modifying ) :

Session "default" started at 2007-01-31T18:38:28+0000
#1 ERROR: Error: is_dir() [<a href='function.is-dir'>function.is-dir</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect.

and , after modifying :

Session "default" started at 2007-02-01T09:43:21+0000

#1 ERROR: Error: copy(/home/www/client/www/activecollab/upload/f052e/f68e1/9d911/57c53bbbbf79357e4713eb6b4) [<a href='function.copy'>function.copy</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in '/home/www/client/www/activecollab/library/filerepository/backend/FileRepository_Backend_FileSystem.class.php' on line 170 (error code: 2)

Time since start: 0.43748497962952 seconds


Does anyone have a solution, please ? I'm really in need.


My config :
I paid for a server (linux platform) and I can ask for changes only on php.

Thanks for helping

Thanks for replying Ilija,



Do you mean the work around used by someone here in the forum ? The add of a $dr = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?

I tried this and it doesn't work for me.

I asked the technical service to add the path "/home/www/client/www/activecollab/upload/" to the variable open_basedir.

Don't know if it will solve the problem.
At the end, I will force them to put it off but it's dangerous.

If I don't select a folder in the "upload file" form than $forced_path is "/". This is in violation of the open basedir configuration. The full file system path should be prepended to the variable.
