Issue PHP opend_basedir restriction issues

[michaelespinosa]

I need help getting PHP (v5.4.45) errors and permissions working properly after a server was migrated. Some of my sites need to access some files from another domain on the same server.

For example, /var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/httpdocs/test.php might try to include /var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/robots.txt using PHP include "/var/www/vhosts/domain1/httpdocs/robots.txt";

In Plesk (v17.5.3) I went into the domain > PHP settings > and modified the open_basedir settings to include /var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/ (pic - Dropbox - Screenshot 2018-03-23 15.29.13.png)

I setup an example to show what I'm getting at phpinfo()

Here's what test.php has in it:

<?php

include "/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/robots.txt";

phpinfo();

?>
Here's the error's I'm getting: (pic - Dropbox - Screenshot 2018-03-14 12.31.04.png)

Warning: include(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/robots.txt) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/:/tmp/:/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/) in /var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/httpdocs/test.php on line 3

Warning: include(/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/robots.txt): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/httpdocs/test.php on line 3
It is saying there is an open_basedir restriction. The confusing part to me is that I actually added the path in manually as seen in the error itself.

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/**robots.txt) is not within the **allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/:/tmp/:/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/)

I'm really grateful for any help getting this resolved or pointing me in the right direction. My host is saying they are not able to help.

Assuming this is a private server with no other clients, you could chmod the website folder 755 I suppose....

 

[michaelespinosa]

Here are the permissions on /var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/

drwxr-xr-x 10 rockchadmin 4.0K Feb 22 01:34 httpdocs/ - (Pic - Dropbox - Screenshot 2018-03-23 17.48.04.png)

Does that look correct?

 

[MarkM]

Yup, that would be 755, which isn't standard so you've modified that before.

Try killing open_basedir; How to change open_basedir parameter for all domains?

 

[michaelespinosa]

That seemed to get rid of the open_basedir restriction warning, but I am now getting:

Warning: include(/var/www/vhosts/rock.church/httpdocs/robots.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/vhosts/planetrockcm.com/httpdocs/test.php on line 3

@Mark Muyskens Thanks for helping with this! What do you suggest?

 

[MarkM]

What about SELinux? Do you have it disabled?

 

[michaelespinosa]

@Mark Muyskens I do have it disabled.

 

[MarkM]

How about the file you're including? Let's chmod it to 755 as well....

It has been chmod to 755, but still yielding the same result. You can see it at phpinfo()
