Hi all,

I just upgraded a site to 1.8. It seems to be working, but I'm concerned about the occurrence of this error:

is_readable() [function.is-readable]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/pear//home/mbadiversity/public_html/application/civicrm_custom//CRM/common/version.tpl) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mbadiversity) in /home/mbadiversity/public_html/application/modules/civicrm/packages/Smarty/internals/core.get_include_path.php on line 34.

whenever I browse to a CiviCRM page. I don't quite know how to interpret the File string. Is that a concatenation of the three paths it tried to search? I couldn't find any reference to /usr/share/pear in my DB, settings file, or civicrm code.

Any debugging suggestions?

TIA!

FWIW, the error appears to be ignorable. It occurs in a loop looking for my custom templates in the various paths. Many of the paths it tries are not readable, so the error message is correct, but not as severe as it seems, since the loop eventually finds what it's looking for.

It gets treated as an error by PHP (I presume) since the server has base_dir restrictions in effect. One of the paths it tries is /usr/share/pear//(my custom path appended for some reason), which makes the restrictions very unhappy. I hacked in a branch so the loop skips anything with /usr/share in the string, so that the watchdog does load up.

That was the best I could come up with.
