PHP/Pear Problem - help please!

[russell.hunter]

I have pear installed on my web server. The problem is, I can't seem
to get it working!

Whenever I try to call one of the installed packages, for example:

require_once "DB.php";

I get the following error:

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/usr/share/pear/DB.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs/wda2-winestore/index.php on line
19

The value of my phpInfo(); says the following for open_basedir:

open_basedir | /var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp | no value

This problem seems to be mentioned often when I did a search, but I
could not find any solution!

Please help if possible, I've spent too long already trying to get this
working!

Regards,

You need to modify your php.ini. Right now, it has a line that says:

open_basedir = /var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp

Modify it to the following:

open_basedir =
/var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/share/pear

Alternatively, you can simply disable safe mode...

Thanks, I did as you suggested and set open_basedir to what you said
above in my php.ini file. Unfortunately, it seems to being overridden
at some stage?

You can view my phpInfo for the server by visiting:
http://www.xentek.co.uk/wda2-winestore/

You can see the values for open_basedir are now:
open_basedir /var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp /var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp:/usr/share/pear

Any ideas why my php.ini is being overridden?

First, try restarting Apache if you didn't already.

If that doesn't help, check your httpd.conf. It may have a line like
this:

php_admin_value open_basedir /var/www/vhosts/xentek.co.uk/httpdocs:/tmp

open_basedir is a PHP_INI_SYSTEM directive, meaning that it can be set
only from php.ini or httpd.conf.

If this doesn't help (which is unlikely), check other .ini files parsed
by PHP; your phpinfo() output lists them:

/etc/php.d/domxml.ini,
/etc/php.d/imap.ini,
/etc/php.d/ldap.ini,
/etc/php.d/mbstring.ini,
/etc/php.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php.d/odbc.ini,
/etc/php.d/pgsql.ini,
/etc/php.d/snmp.ini,
/etc/php.d/xmlrpc.ini

Yes, I'd restarted the server.

There's no mention of open_basedir in my httpd.conf file, sadly.

/etc/php.d/domxml.ini,
/etc/php.d/imap.ini,
/etc/php.d/ldap.ini,

/etc/php.d/mysql.ini,
/etc/php.d/odbc.ini,
/etc/php.d/pgsql.ini,
/etc/php.d/snmp.ini,
/etc/php.d/xmlrpc.ini

Each of these files is used to enable an extension.

So, I'm stuck on this one. Thanks for your help. I don't suppose
there's anything else I should try?

Kind regards,
