TYPO3 Installation – Trouble with open_basedir...

[marcbenthaus]

hi there!

i'm new to plesk and configuring a webserver down from the ground.

i'm trying to install typo3: the dummy-package (including the index.php) inside the httpdocs-folder and the typo3-source one level higher. the files inside the httpdocs-folder are symlink'd to the typo3-source-folder outside of the httpdocs...

when i access the index.php with a browser i get this:


Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/httpd/vhosts/[MYDOMAIN.COM]/typo3_src-3.8.1/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/index_ts.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/httpd/vhosts/[MYDOMAIN.COM]/httpdocs:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(/home/httpd/vhosts/[MYDOMAIN.COM]/typo3_src-3.8.1/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/index_ts.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/httpd/vhosts/[MYDOMAIN.COM]/typo3_src-3.8.1/typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/index_ts.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in Unknown on line 0



so, i googled for a while, reading that i have to add an vhost.conf-file where the server allows access outside the httpdocs-folder.

i've tried some variants (including a apache-restart every time) but nothing did work.

what do i have to write into this vhost-file exactly? i simply don't get it... or do i have to change something else in addition?

would be great if anyone could give me hint, what to write to the conf-file...

thanks in advance and kind greetings from germany!

thanks for your reply!

but i'm sorry to say that this didn't work... i still get the same errors.

i've added the typo3_src-folder outside the httpdocs-folder in this vhost.conf file, too.

well, at least a different error. but i can't figure out, whats going on now...

Cannot find configuration. This file is probably executed from the wrong location.


what's going on here? :-/


we'll here is my "setup", in case that it helps...

Typo3 3.8.1 | SUSE/Linux 9.0 with Plesk 7.5 Reloaded | Apache: 2.0.49 | MySQL 4.0.18 | PHP: 4.3.4

Ok well the local open_basedir restriction is being set up in

/var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/conf/httpd.include

At the top of that file is this comment:

# ATTENTION!
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE OR ANY PART OF IT. THIS CAN RESULT IN IMPROPER PLESK
# FUNCTIONING OR FAILURE, CAUSE DAMAGE AND LOSS OF DATA. IF YOU REQUIRE CUSTOM
# MODIFICATIONS TO BE APPLIED TO THE CONFIGURATION, PLEASE, PERFORM THEM IN THE
# FOLLOWING FILE(S):
# /var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/conf/vhost.conf
# /var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/subdomains/<subdomain-name>/conf/vhost.conf

Further down the file is this section:

        <Directory /var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/httpdocs>
        <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
                php_admin_flag engine on
                php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/httpdocs:/tmp"
        </IfModule>
        <IfModule mod_php5.c>
                php_admin_flag engine on
                php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/httpdocs:/tmp"
        </IfModule>
                Options -Includes -ExecCGI
        </Directory>

The problem is, there is no /var/www/vhosts/[domainName]/conf/vhost.conf file.

What would I need to put in this file to:

• append
• replace
• switch off

the current setting?

Presumably there is a table in the psa database I could tweak too, so that the default httpd.include is more appropriate to my server settings?
