open_basedir restriction in effect on Cron Jobs on VPS 123-reg

[GigaBlast]

Hello, I'd really like to get this problem fixed. Its been dragging on....


Something is stopping me overriding php.ini and apache open_basedir.

I have tried all routes, over the past weeks but my crons and php ssh commands can't open files in parent folders. The problem was fixed on the main site to allow it to work, but there's something else preventing file access.

If you run php command you get "open_basedir restriction in effect" even though the site root and below is open. After 123-reg wouldn't assist i asked here earlier...

Hello Parallels, I have Panel version 11.5.30
Which part is applicable to my issue? Please be clear. I have already done the Resolution and run the reconfigure apache command. neither has worked.

The last part has: Example.... But I don't have a /conf/ folder or vhost.conf file in webroot

i've created a /conf/vhost.conf file in webroot
added this in the file
-------------------------------------------
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs>

php_admin_value open_basedir /

</Directory>

------------------------

in etc/psa/psa.conf file i have edited by adding my domain path to
------------------------
HTTPD_VHOSTS_D /var/www/vhosts/domain/conf/vhost.conf:
php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/vhosts/domain
------------------------

I don't have a httpdocs folder? Still same error permission denied after restarting apache

You need this: http://kb.parallels.com/en/113861 for Plesk 10.x and later (i.e. 11.x)
You should not bother with vhosts.conf or anything like that. You need to make changes in the PHP tab (website scripting and security) in the panel, or by editing the domain's php.ini

Nothing you do will help if you do not correctly specify the open_basedir paths you want, however, so be very careful there.

But umm....do not edit /etc/psa/psa.conf! I'm not sure why you did that? You must not touch that file. Here be dragons.

You do have an httpdocs directory is the domain is the primary domain for a subscription. That's where all the website files go.
If it is a secondary domain then you may have chosen to name the directory where the website files go to match the domain name or maybe just "site1", "site2" etc.

Plesk 11.5 makes changes to the location of various things compared to 10.x. Look in /var/www/vhosts/system/domain.tld for anything you can't find in /var/www/vhosts/domain.tld -- e.g. configuration files and log files. However, like I say, you shouldn't bother with vhosts.conf and whatnot - those things are a bit old-school and no longer needed for php settings overrides.

Errr...that is, as long as you are running php in php_fcgi mode rather than mod_php mode, which I hope you are

Hello Faris, thank you for your answer...I have deleted the strings added to vhosts.conf. Overnight plesk did an update - not sure what bug fixes but my problem still persists.
As for running php, it was set as run php as Apache Module, i changed to FastCGI application, but still no joy on unlocking open base directory. I have named the httpdocs location public_html since day one.
I have noticed when I change the website Scripting and Security options i get an email error saying

"Unable to generate the web server configuration file on host <....123-reg) because the following errors
Template_Exception: Mkdir cannot create directory
/var/www/vhosts/domain/conf/vhost.conf:/system/img.domain/conf no such file or directory
the report continues with
mktemp: failed to create file via template `/var/www/vhosts/domain/conf/vhost.conf:/system/img.domain/conf/13863319920.69822300_httpd.conf.XXXXXX': No such file or directory
Can not create temporary file

file: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/Template/Writer/Webserver/Abstract.php
line: 68
code: 0"

BUT on my server plesk screen i see a message from plesk: The settings were successfully updated. ?????

------------
(I have never had to fix apache in the 7 years of web hosting. i wish i choose )

-----------------
Open_basedir set to
{WEBSPACEROOT}{/}{:}{TMP}{/}

My folder structure looks like this

classes (index.php can include the files listed in here. Cron jobs are blocked open base directory in effect)
configs (same as above)
img (subdomain of images) img.domain/pic.png ... can be accessed by ../img/pic.png
public_html ( where index.php all the php scripts live)
