[Anders Johansson]

PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(//?#) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/:/tmp/:/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/:/tmp:/tmp/:/var/www/vhosts/staging1.mydomain.com/:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/staging1.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/wp-job-manager-template.php on line 835

So I found some threads here and elsewhere but cant seem to solve it.
I am on the staging1 environment and trying to solve this.
Changed open base dir and added the last 2 paths .
How to add "File(//?#)" path correctly? please help

reseted to default open_basedir

The file must be located inside the webspace subscription path. Your template or script tries to access a file that is outside your own webspace subscription path (outside /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com). This won't work. The solution is not to extend the open_base_dir setting, but to correct the path configuration of the website, so that it only uses files that are inside the subscription.

Or rather, to fix the script so it doesn't try to open //?#
