Geeklog Forums

Hello friends,

I'm trying to upload an image to an article but I got the following error message :

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/magicweb/public_html/images/articles/20031230171048721_1.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/restricted/home/magicweb) in /home/restricted/home/magicweb/system/classes/upload.class.php on line 457

Warning: chmod(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/magicweb/public_html/images/articles/20031230171048721_1.jpg) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/restricted/home/magicweb) in /home/restricted/home/magicweb/system/classes/upload.class.php on line 551

Can someone help me? What do I need to do in order to allow the upload? Is this a permission problem? But I don't know what directories to change permission for.

Thanks in advance. My best regards
Alex.

Sounds like your webhost and locked down where you can store images. I would first start asking them if there are such restrictions and assuming there are we may need to make the location of where Geeklog stores images to be configurable.

Hello Tony,

Thanks for help. I just like to know why is has been locked since the dir used to store images is located at /home/magicweb/public_html/images/articles/ ... If I open a FTP connection I can upload a file to that location.

Is this the correct location Geeklog uses to upload a image to reffer to an article?

Thanks!

The open_basedir is a restriction based on the user. In the case you do an FTP, you are using your user ID and are allowed to do that fine. However, Geeklog runs under what ever user ID the webserver your host is using is set to. For example, on my RedHat box, my Apache process runs as the user apache. The open_basedir is probably not allowed to let the web server user write files to the webtree like that but your ID can. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Tony, I've forwared your comments to my ISP. Happy new year!
