PayPal package on a shared server writes to /tmp
August 15, 2007, 08:15:18 am
Hi all,

I could use some advice using Paypal for CiviContribute on a shared server. Judging from this message, it wants to create log files in /tmp:

open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/tmp/20070815.PayPal.log) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mbadiversity/domains/gradprep.org) in /home/mbadiversity/domains/gradprep.org/public_html/modules/civicrm/packages/PayPal/CallerServices.php on line 250

I need to make this work on a shared server, which won't allow me to write to /tmp. Is there a way to coax the Paypal package to only use directories I have control over? I think I've found where to hack the code, but I am loathe to do so.

TIA for any suggestions.

Donald Lobo

You might have better luck asking the below question on the paypal developer forums. We use that package as-is from paypal and followed their documentation etc. I suspect the below is related to open_basedir settings?
